Tea of Darkest Hue (D1MA)

[Lucinia Malveaux]

"Oh, no. Not yet." Lucinia gave a casual wave with her fingers. "At this point, I am looking for somewhere to start. Inspiration, you might say."

She smiled, thinly but genuinely. "You might think it strange that I speak about research as though I was an artist. But I feel that is how best to describe it. Especially when the Force leads the way."

[Raela Ausar]

"I don't think it's strange at all. As a fellow researcher, it makes perfect sense to me," she replied, shaking her head.

[Lucinia Malveaux]

"Mmmm." Lucinia's murmur of agreement was almost like a purr. "I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that you and I agree on that."

She looked down studying her tea in her cup. "I also felt some obligation to be present for the Emperor's arrival. That is something not to be missed. I wonder what it will be like..."

[Raela Ausar]

"Interesting no matter what... I am curious about it," she replied thoughtfully.

[Lucinia Malveaux]

"Indeed. A once in a lifetime event." Lucinia took a deep breath.

"I've heard tales of his immense power." She sighed. "I only hope my abilities are strong enough to properly experience it."

[Raela Ausar]

She smiled and nodded. "I'm sure they will be... I wish I could know more, but it's not a great idea to probe too deep into that particular mystery."

[Lucinia Malveaux]

"You think not?" One eyebrow creeped upward, even as Lucinia smiled. "You think not? But then how will we discover the answer." She laughed, very softly, her white teeth briefly showing.

She took a slow sip of her tea. "I haven't yet decided if I like this tea or not."
