Kissimi Cresis
Thought so, Kissimi thought, turning to face Bane. She seemed exhausted but she was functioning- sort of. She sighed. "
Master Windu and I were sent to Lothal to hunt down an alleged Sith lord, the Council having gotten wind of the legends the people of Lothal tell. They kept it quiet; forgot about us for six months." There was a slight bitterness in her voice that cleared quickly as she paused for a second. "
We were close until he was killed. The Sith contacted me, so I played along. I was almost close enough to bring others into the mission. It could have ended the fight in this system if I had been able [there was a slight hint of accusation in the word able, as if she put Bane and Megara to fault for this]
to finish what we had started. The boy doesn't see it the way it really is." It was mostly the truth, but something could be off about her response. It was the same thing she'd told Skywalker, and it would only buy her some time before the Council filled in the gaps and corrected any lies she'd told. But it was what she'd convinced herself she was doing for the last six months.
Something beeped from inside the cockpit; she was receiving a transmission. "
Now if you don't mind, we can discuss this later if we must further the conversation." With that, she turned away from him and let the cockpit door shut behind her. Both wolves watched Bane, prepared to make a move if they needed to. Both of them hated Bane just as much as Kissimi secretly did, but only White was willing to show it; she growled at him softly for a split second before her brother silenced her with a snap.
Chase and Pira Jackson
Chase had hunted Pira down and was trying to talk to her. But she was ignoring him like she wanted to make a point.
"
Look, Pira, I'm sorry for whatever I-"
"
Whatever you. It's not about you, Chase. I'm allowed to not feel like talking to you. Leave me alone, Chase. Go hang out with your precious Master-" Pira rounded on him, her voice loud in the mostly empty hallway. She stopped short, knowing that bringing Master Shade into this was ten times too far, even for her.
"
Leave Master Shade out of this!"
"
Why? We were fine before we left the Temple!"
"
You're right. This isn't you, Pira."
"
And it isn't you, Chase! You never would have stuck your nose in what wasn't yours!" He'd done just that more times than Pira knew about. Most of the time though, what he found wasn't highly incriminating evidence against an insider.
"
This is about her now?" Of course it was about Kissimi.
I never should have told her the truth, even if she would be mad at me. It's not really worth it, is it? He was starting to have serious second thoughts about his choices, but he couldn't exactly go back now.
"
It's about you!"
Sort of. You know I love you, Chase- you're my brother- but sometimes you really do drive me crazy, Pira thought, keeping the words unspoken; saying those words probably would have eased her torrential downpour of anger and stress being taken out on her brother.
"
How? You're the one being selfish!"
