Ztudiez in zhe Dark Artz [Day 4, Mid Evening]

[Jun-Tsu Farro]

"Zhere vill be time, I am zertain." She looked to Shaisha with a slow nod and a gesture back to the lift. "Und pleaze do azk vor anyzhing in return for zhiz generouz commizzion. Iv mein alkhemy can aid you, I vill do all I can."

[Lord Tenebrous]

She dipped her head in respect to Jun-Tsu, and stepped towards the elevator.

"It might be needed in the time ahead. Not for the aspirant challenges, but the danger on the horizon. Trust I don't need to remind you to prepare yourself and your daughter too for that future?"

[Jun-Tsu Farro]

"It iz vorewer on mein mind," Jun-Tsu assured the Sith. "Zheze are dangerouz timez vor uz. Und I know not how zhiz vill end."

She stepped to the lift and the doors closed carrying them back to the upper floors.

[Lord Tenebrous]

"Mm... the future is... difficult to see at this point. So much is happening, and there are too many outcomes." She casually linked her hands together behind her back, making her posture seem almost military like.

"In the coming days, perhaps keep an eye on Darth Malgus. It might just be my imagination, but he seems to be setting himself up as a hero - and it's not to make a play towards the Council, of that I feel certain of."

[Jun-Tsu Farro]

"Yez, I hawe been hearing zhat name more and more az of late. Whizperz zhrough zhe court, und vhen dizcuzzing zhiz ongoing unpleazantnezz vith zhe Eagle. Vhich....," she thought for a moment and the lift reach its terminus. The doors quietly opened and Jun-Tsu stepped out.

"Zheze terroriztz zeem ztrangly preoccupied vith keeping zhe Emperor in pover vith zheir rhetoric againzt zhe Dark Counzil. I vonder how much zhy know of zhe Emperor."

[Lord Tenebrous]

"You'll see that most of the common populace of the Empire's core worlds think the Emperor is the protector and guardian of the Empire, the power that keeps the evil Republic at bay." The irony of the situation was not lost on her, and was quite evident in her tone as the elevator brought them back up.

"Though I have a feeling that this isn't just some freedom fighters who believe in the benevolence of the Emperor... it seems more like something bigger is brewing."

[Jun-Tsu Farro]

"Mein zhoughtz exactly. Vor as much as ve know of zhe zecret goingz on, I am zertain that ve only hawe a part of zhe picture. It iz mozt dizconzerting."

[Lord Tenebrous]

"It will be hard to see the entire picture..." she chuckled with dark humor. "Too many moving pieces, and too many missing ones too."

[Jun-Tsu Farro]

Jun-Tsu merely nodded at the point. "Let uz pray zhat ve zee it bevore it iz upon uz, und rewealed in zhe mozt inconvenient of vayz. Zhe vay of zhe Zith iz unzertain, but it revardz zhe poverful und vell invormed."

[Lord Tenebrous]

"Yes." As the elevator arrived back upstairs and opened, Shaisha stepped out with confidence still in her stride. "The easy path is not for those who seek true challenge, and true power."

"As fascinating as this visit has been though, I should probably take my leave - you must have many other things taking up your time these day."

[Jun-Tsu Farro]

"That iz wery true, mein Lord, but do not hezitate to call on me vor az long az I am available to you." Jun-Tsu showed her guest to the door.

And as she was about to let her leave she leaned close to the pureblood to whisper, "Be safe."

[Lord Tenebrous]

"Of course. Once more, thank you for your hospitality, Lady Farro," she maintained the perfect air of regalness and formality.

At the whisper, she nodded briefly and returned the gesture. "You too."

And with that, Lord Tenebrous departed.
