[D0] Papers need a shuffelin'

[Yslane Tssilla]

"Not yet...Master Yulani has had a bit of a weird few months." Yslane flinched, "I'll approach her on it after the delegation finished."

[Alysele Cortess]

"How so?" She frowned. Something was up with her friend. "But sure. Let me know if I can help? Perhaps I can put in a few kind words, if you'd like?"

[Yslane Tssilla]

"Well she was missing there for awhile. It's been an odd adjustment....for me at any rate." She waves it off, "Master Yulani is also a bit more.... aggressive in her actions then I am."

"Basically a lot is going on."

[Alysele Cortess]

"Well.... a missing master, yeah, I can see how that is odd." Real odd. "Any idea what happened to her?"

She smiled and tried to be a bit more encouraging. "Maybe you should try and step a bit more forcefully then? Go out there, and do what you think is needed?"

She extended a hand to touch Ys' arm. "Well, whatever is going on, I'm always there to help, Ys."

[Yslane Tssilla]

"Thank you Alys," She smiled, "But let's worry about the Senators first."

"I'm not sure to be honest. I believe Master Yulani was frozen in carbonite for awhile....I haven't asked for a full explanation yet."

[Alysele Cortess]

"Frozen in Carbonite? Well, she never seemed like the boring type." A part of her tried imagining how it wold feel, being frozen. It was difficult, as the cold never bothered her.

"You're right though. We can deal with your trials after we've saved the galaxy from eternal war." A cheeky smile returned, before turning more somber. "What do you think? Is peace a possibility here?"

[Yslane Tssilla]

"Yes...I believe it possible we will gain peace." A frown, "But will it be true peace or merely a time for the Sith to rebuild." Yslane sighs, "Conflict is central to their doctrine...I do not think any peace will be permanent."

"Maybe the Sith will turn upon each other if they can longer attack us. That, I think is the best we can hope for...and it will still cause suffering for those they have yoked."

[Alysele Cortess]

"Yeah, it is difficult to think of... peace. A part of me wonders what would the order be, without Sith to oppose and be vigil about?" She gazed into a wall, lost in thought. "Sometimes it feels half of our teachings are about how to combat the sith and be aware, and don't be like them. You're right, they do thrive on conflict, but sometimes I feel that the order has become comfortable with the current arrangement."

[Yslane Tssilla]

"The Order existed during the Sith's exile. Conflict clouds are vision now because it must." Yslane took Alys hand, "The Jedi fight because we must, because not everyone wishes for peace or can be made to see reason. The Sith fight because that is what they are. The strong survive and the weak die. To pity the weak is to be weak yourself. Others exist only as stepping stones to power." She squeezes gently, "That is not the Jedi way. Were the Sith see slaves for building monuments, we see friends for building houses. Were the Sith see pawns whose blood is to be spent for their schemes, we see the brave masses who wish only to live in peace...but will take up arms to secure it for the children."

"You have been involved in the fighting more then I have...been subjected to the stresses, seen our Order at its worse....but remember when you look at the destruction, the brutality....that is the Sith at their best."

A warm smile spread across Aly's face, and she squeezed Ys' hand in response. "Perhaps.... perhaps you are right. History hasn't been my strong suit." Her early distaste of her order lead to a long gap while she caught up on some aspects of Jedi education. "You always see the best in others, just not yourself."

She removed her hand gently to raise it upward and squeeze the other girl's shoulder. "It is an ugly sight... though unfortunately, the Jedi might be good, but other arms of the Republic can stoop low as well." Her eyes darkened. "Perhaps that is also something we ought to pay attention to."

[Yslane Tssilla]

Yslane smiked, "I'm just better at hiding my opinions, including about myself, when I want."

"The military wants the war to continue, I can't fault them for that but it goes against the wishes of the Senate. I don't think they would do anything rash but perhaps one eye might be kept on them."

A pause, "And yes the Republic has corruption and other issues....but it is made up of imperfect sentient beings, it can never be free of corruption. For now I personally feel the good of the Republic outweighs any evil, but it can always be improved on."

"Perhaps we ought to be governed by droids then... perhaps that would be better?" Her smile was wide and bright at the weak humor. "I'll see if I can keep an eye on them. I have a... contact, in the military." Her face blushed slightly at the thought of Niall. "Well... you can always be honest with me. I'll listen to whatever you say, Ys."

[Yslane Tssilla]

"Thanks Alys," Another smile, "Should you be returning to your rounds? People might began to grow suspicious if we linger together much longer."

[Alysele Cortess]

"Yeah, who knows what kind of rumors might start." Sordid affair between noble Jedi and corruot Bureocrat!

"Talk later, when ae can. Will try and not cramp your style then." One final smile before she stood up a d went to the door. "I'm glad you're here."

[Yslane Tssilla]

"Thank you, I'll help were I can...openly depending on how long the deception lasts." Yslane smiled and ran her hand up through her hair...ruffling it a bit, then opened the door.

Her face instantly blushing and all the confidence disappearing as the door swung open and the two were visible again. She nibbled her lower lip and in a nervous voice, "Thank you Master Jedi for...your attentiveness to duty." Her eyes stay on the floor and shifts a bit awkwardly. "I look forward to working with you again."

[Alysele Cortess]

Aly forced herself not to smile. Fake nervous Ys was adorable.

"Always Ms Tsilla. Let me know if I can help you with anything." She gave a nod, turned, and made her
