[D3 LE] Kaggaths and Slaughter are So Romantic

[Shaisha Vreysk]

She didn't really deny that his words did give rise to her passion and emotions.

"Mmm... if my opponent was Zeno Deathwright, it would be even easier," she grins, "I know his weaknesses already."

Her hands moved to pin down his as she claimed his lips with a forceful kiss.

[Zeno Deathwright]

He returned the kiss with a passion he hadn't felt for some time. He had felt the passion of anger and the excitement of battle, but neither was as pleasurable as his encounters with Shaisha.

"Oh, you think so?" he asks after breaking it off. "You're going to have to prove it... I'm not aware of any such weakness."

Both of his hands moved to take her head and pull her with him as he laid back on the couch.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Making sure she stayed on top of him, her kiss becomes a playful bite as his lower lip becomes a prisoner of her teeth for a short while.

"I already have the high ground," she taunts after releasing his lip. "And I can make you do my bidding."

[Zeno Deathwright]

”I don't know if high ground is enough. You might also need a distraction as well. Something to keep attention where you want rather than where I want." His hands made their way down her sides, fingers slipping into her waist band.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"There's plenty of ways to distract you," she giggles, cursing the fact that he was still wearing his armor.

Her hands slipped away from him and easily pulled her loose-fitting shirt over her head. The garment was tossed aside without care as she revealed the naked form underneath.

[Zeno Deathwright]

One hand moving to the clasps of his armor. "You may want to be careful. Such a distraction may have been my target the whole time."

As he worked on his armor, his eyes wandered taking in the Sith woman's lovely form.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Sometimes the best distraction is to give your opponent what they want," her voice is breathy and warm against the skin of his neck, her hands assisting in removing the armor now.

Passions set ablaze, the two Sith committed to the new battlefield before them.

In the passion and excitement of the moment the two ended up on the floor across the room. Zeno takes a moment to catch his breath before giving her a soft kiss. "Wonderful. I'm definitely up for making a night of us, but I think a bit of food and drink might be necessary. Should I make something? Is the kitchen stocked?"

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Mmm... it's fully stocked, yes. Didn't know you were a chef?" she chuckles as she stretches lazily on the floor, her nails scratching over the surface of his bare skin.

"The bar is also pretty well stocked. Even got some of that blood wine from Yavin IV if you like, as well as brandies, whiskey, wine... pretty much whatever you might want."

[Zeno Deathwright]

"I'm not a great cook, but I can make food work," he says with a chuckle. "Basics are just following directions. And you've experienced how well I can follow directions."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"That is true," she giggles and leans to kiss his shoulder. "Not much of a cook myself, to be honest... At least what I make is better than paste."

"Was just never something I had to do growing up, neither with my family or the Torsin's."

[Zeno Deathwright]

"Well, it was one of the things my sisters would make me do as part of bossing me around. I never got great at it or anything, and I think their intention was to humiliate me. It was one of the things that I didn't care that they made me do. But I always acted like it bothered me more than it did because if I was doing that I wasn't doing something else or being tormented in another way."

He gives her another kiss before standing up and starting towards the kitchen.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Following him inside the kitchen, Shaisha finds a place to sit to observe him.

"Huh... Syl never did that. He'd be an annoying brother sometimes, but the idea of making me do such menial tasks never occurred to anyone, I guess," she chuckles, thinking back to simpler times. "Your father didn't mind?"

[Zeno Deathwright]

"He gave tacit approval by making it clear he knew and wasn't going to do anything about it. The physical and mental torment of my older sisters taught me difficult lessons at a young age. And that was his intention."

While explaining, he pours a couple glasses of water for proper re-hydration after their physical activity. Next heading to the refrigerator, he pokes around for a bit before settling on a a couple slices of some meat that he could spice and grill, and picking out some fruits and vegetables he could dice/puree to make a sauce to put over it. It didn't take long to get some simple seasonings on the paralope steaks, before he started on what was basically a sweet relish or sauce while the meat cooked.

"Got anything you're allergic to?" he asks.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Not that I know of, and if I were, I'd throw it out of that fridge," she chuckled and took a couple of large gulps of water.

"With the Torsin's, I'd guess being forced to sit through lectures and boring social affairs was punishement enough as a child. My own family didn't do much of that - if I needed to be disciplined, I would be beaten. Simple as that. So I learned pretty quickly to not get caught... which I suspect was often the lesson in itself; instilling both obedience and cunning."

[Zeno Deathwright]

He continues his work at the counter without concern after the confirmation.

"I simply gained the understanding that sometimes you can't stop what's coming, and you simply have to deal with it and move on. Improve, grow, and become capable enough to break free of it. But that's pretty much how one learns to break their chains."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

Shaisha nodded, putting down her glass of water.

"Hm, yeah, that makes sense. We've both done a lot of that; improving and growing, then breaking free." She thought back to Yavin IV... felt like almost everyone in their class had grown on that jungle moon.

[Zeno Deathwright]

"But then, we've also gotten our own new set of chains weighing us down as well, with what we've learned. And those will be difficult ones to break. But I'm sure that we'll overcome them in time." He gives her a smile at that.

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Yeah... those chains," her mood darkened a little, thinking of the visions and nightmares. The dead planet of Nathema that just felt wrong all-together.

"... All in time though. There's a lot occupying us here on Nar Shaddaa. Zash probably has you running all over the place."

[Zeno Deathwright]

"I've already handled one of her tasks. Just need to head to Kintan for some boring geological stuff now," he says with a shrug, continuing his food prep. "Nothing too difficult though and it presented an opportunity to get in with Nem'ro. Vowrawn keeping you busy as well?"

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Pretty much, yeah. Less errand-jobs though, compared to you, and more that he's expecting me to succeed in a manner satisfactory to him. It's great to have a lot of freedom, but it also comes with its own pitfalls."

She smirked. "Not surprised that Zash has you running around all over the place. She's always in a hurry."

[Zeno Deathwright]

"Yeah, but I don't get more than I can handle from her though. I tend to seek out challenges of my own. I'm expecting the types of assignments I'll get in the future will change with my training though. At this point, my skill set is so far removed from what she does, most of what I do for her is busy work until I can gain skills and understanding that are more useful to her needs." He doesn't seem overly bothered by this. "Your skills are likely far more aligned with your masters goals."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Perhaps," she nods a little. "Vowrawn and I are of similar mind, in that we enjoy challenges... in a way, he's bad for me in that he indulges my whims and fancies. But because he keeps pushing me, because he knows I want to push myself too, I've grown a lot."

"I'm still learning, of course. There's a lot of the scheming and planning that I don't quite grasp yet either."

[Zeno Deathwright]

"My particular skills and interests are a bit different from Zash's experiences. And while that makes it harder for her to train me in those areas, it also opens up options for me to serve in ways that she would not have had available on her own. She's never been one for having military capabilities, but having me as an apprentice makes it possible for her to deal with issues like space combat without having to go out and hire mercenaries if she has to deal with it. At this point, if she wants to intercept something in transit, she can just assign such a task to me."

[Shaisha Vreysk]

"Benefits to all sorts of different apprentice-and-master combos," she says and gives a small nod.

"So, you're starting to get a better understanding on some of the mysteries of the Force with her?"
