Doc, It Hurts! (D8, LE, Shai's place)

[Cole Ormont]

He ran a hand through his hair as he considered his answer. "Know? Probably. Would he answer? Well, that's a different question."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

She frowned. Not so much at the answer, but at her own state.

Shit... I'm in no condition to fight if Vain makes a move tonight...

"Could you bring him tomorrow? With the state I'm in, I don't think either of you need to worry too much about lightsabers from me."

[Cole Ormont]

He wouldn't impugn Shaisha's honour by asking her to vouch to Sylvain, even if the man made Cole uncomfortable. "All right. I'll contact him tonight."

[Dapper Dog]

There was a knock at the door.

[Sylvain Torsin]

Sylvain turned to Shaisha and then over to the door. If there was some type of monitoring device he would look to see who it was...

[Dapper Dog]

Vain was at the door wearing a jacket and carrying some bags of greasy food. He knocks again at the door.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Shaisha tensed up warily, gritting her teeth through the pain.

"... I haven't invited anyone else over."

Something was clearly setting her enough on edge to make her reach for her lightsaber with her good hand.

[Sylvain Torsin]

"It's a man in a leather jacket with greasy bags of food..." He said. "Brown hair... stubble beard."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"It's Vain..."

Her tone was gravely serious. They had both seen that name on Magpie's datachit.

"Tell him... tell him to leave, make something up, if you must."

Her eyes closed as she reached out with her senses. If Vitiate was there, perhaps she could sense it...

D8 LE Sense: 1eF 1 Dark Side

[Dapper Dog]

She just senses a guy and his greasy but tasty food.

[Cole Ormont]

As Shaisha reached for her lightsaber, an icy chill went through Cole, he felt suddenly paralysed, unable to act. He sat, frozen and awkward, listening to the sound of his breathing.

[Sylvain Torsin]

Sylvain nodded and opened the door.

He looked to the man politely and greeted him, "May I help you sir?"

[Dapper Dog]

"Did Shaisha move out?" the man responds. "I was certain this was the spot, I figured she got back from her trip off world, surprise her with some food. Is she here?"

[Sylvain Torsin]

He nodded, "This is her place. I'm her brother. Her trip off-world had a bit of unexpected misfortune... she is resting now after recovering from what was a most difficult day."

He looked at the food. "I see you are aware of her love for indulgent food."

[Dapper Dog]

"Yeah indulgent," he replies and then offers the food. "Well if your answering the door, it must mean either she's asleep or in a bad way, so I won't keep you. If she's hungry, here, or eat it yourself. Tell her I swung by."

[Sylvain Torsin]

Sylvain nodded, "Your name, sir?"

[Dapper Dog]

"Vain, Vain Taskar; private detective," he says producing a holo card.

[Sylvain Torsin]

He took the card in his hand, examined it and nodded, "Thank you for your consideration. I'm sure my sister would appreciate it."

He then nodded a farewell to the man and waited for him to leave before closing the door.

[Dapper Dog]

Vain leaves.

[Cole Ormont]

Cole exhaled slowly and managed to get to his feet, "Shaisha?"

[Sylvain Torsin]

Sylvain turned to look at Shai.

"He's gone. Didn't seem to be here for murder... but he could have just changed his intentions when I answered the door." He said as he brought the food over.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Feeling the presence withdraw, Shaisha relaxed and slumped back into the couch.

"Most likely, he himself doesn't know..."

"Yes?" She looked at Cole, still visibly shaken as well.

Her stomach let out a growl, sensing the arrival of food.

[Sylvain Torsin]

"You never know... his plan could be to give you a heart attack with all this junk." Sylvain said as he placed it on the table in front of the couch.

"Eat this and let nature take its course so to say..."

[Cole Ormont]

He ran a hand through his blonde curls, automatically reaching for his mediscanner. "Are you all right?" is all he manages.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"I... I'm fine. Just a little shaken, that's all." Her left hand trembled slightly in protest of the strain she had put on it when she had tensed up.

Putting her lightsaber away, she gave a look of relief to Sylvain. "Maybe. Thanks though... say.... any of that blue milkshake in there?"
