Temperance {Saalia}

[Xyndar Galadan]

Experimentally stretching his leg and knee, Xyndar decided He could tolerate the pain while it healed naturaly, He shoved the Medical Droid away from him before standing, reaching around to his back to make sure his saber was still firmly attached. Stretching to get the kinks out from sitting after such a strenuous fight, He cracked his neck as He finished his "cool-down" routine.

Glancing over to Saalia, He twitched his head toward the door as He spoke again. "An interesting story, and it answers so many questions as to how you managed to shrug off that blast of lightning to the face, nevermind your uncanny skills." Moving towards the door, He didn't look back to see if Saalia was following, intent on heading for that drink to try and get his body to calm down, He still had his battle high right now and it was almost enough to make him twitchy. "So, Aside from hunting down and killing as many Jedi as you can, What've you got planned? I know I'm only staying here long enough to get a Master, After that all I plan to do is get stronger."

[Saalia Dreth]

Saalia got up out of his seat as he noticed Xyndar ready-ing himself to leave the medical quarters, Stretching his arms and flinging his hood over his head. Crossing his arms within his robes with his one hand on his hilt he began to follow Xyndar, "I have a few things on my ship, A few leads that my parents had planned that I may be doing. But apart from that I don't really have any plans right now.. Continuing to walk out of the door and down the shrouded path towards the exit of the temple.

As they walked out of the temple Saalia noticed a few of the Sith pushing around the locals and sighed alittle, "I wonder what they find so amusing about pushing around lesser skilled folk, Its not like it will help them or their conquest to power. Its pathetic if you ask me, What do you think? Saalia asked Xyndar as they continued to walk on.

[Xyndar Galadan]

Watching the fools pick on the weak, and the defenceless, It humored him. If you had nothing better to do than to mock the weak, You were only a step above them instead of levels above them as you should be. "It's pathetic, If they can't find anyone better to mock, Why do they think they can mock anyone? They're barely a step above the ones they mock, Where as we're on completely different levels. It just goes to show you what happens when weaklings are left to their own methods and ideals. It breads idiocy, To the point it's almost palpable in the air."

Turning from the fools, Xyndar headed for the Cantina, debating whether He wanted something a bit stronger than normal, or if He should stay relatively sober. After his fight earlier, He wanted to get smashed, but here that might not be the smartest idea...He decided to decide when He got there.

[Saalia Dreth]

Saalia smirked as they entered the cantina, "I guess so, So are you having to drink Xyndar?". Saalia walked up to one of the booths and sat down, Pulling out a deathstick he put it in his mouth, Lit it and began to smoke it. "I haven't had one of these since i reached this planet, I think they're pretty good. Would you like one?". Saalia held out a deathstick for Xyndar to take as he called over a bartender.

[Xyndar Galadan]

Looking at the offered Deathstick, Xyndar debated about it. After all, He'd heard they were horrendously addictive, but He argued, so was alchohol. Reaching his hand out slightly, He let the force grab the stick and pull it to him, Grabbing it as it reached his hand He placed it between his lips before reaching out for the lgihter, and lighting his own. Taking a small drag, He was surprised at how relatively smooth it was. Adjusting his shoulder, He absently noted He'd left his hood down, reaching up, He pulled it over his face, leaving the upper half a pool of shadow with two grey eye's leering out of it.

Waving over to the bartender, He looked back at Saalia. "So, After this, What else shall we do? I'm all for getting smashed, but there's got to be something better to do than wasting our money on drink for too long." He asked, honestly wondering what they'd do next.

[Saalia Dreth]

Saalia continued to take drags on his deathstick as the bartender came over, "What would you like to drink, Sir's?". Saalia looked up to the bartender and ordered himself a corellian ale and a corellian whiskey. Looking back at Xyndar he then began to speak. "Well, I have a ship so, We can visit a few planets if you'd like? Or we could do something here. I also have a few other things on my ship in which may interest you, Aslong as you keep it to yourself.".

Saalia took a few more drags on his deathstick and then put it out into the ash tray, Wiping down his robe to wipe off some ash them fell from the deathstick. Saalia took a quick look around the room to see if he could ntoice any familiar faces before looking back at Xyndar.

[Xyndar Galadan]

Glancing at the Bartender still waiting for his order, He looked back at Saalia while considering what He wanted, taking a drag on his deathstick as He did. "I'll take a Corellian Ale, Thanks." He idly watched sa the bartender walked off to get their drinks while He focused on what Saalia had just said. He'd never considered leaving the planet, Simply because He'd had no means before. Now though...This could get interesting.

Taking a last drag on his deathstick, He smashed it out almost violently as their drinks approached and He replied. "Heading somewhere else for a time does sound interesting, Who knows, We might even run into someone....fun while we're at it. Maybe even...a jedi or two?" He offered the last bit with a sardonic smirk, Knowing that alone would get Saalia wanting to leave. Taking his ale, He lifted it in a 'cheers' motion towards Saalia before downing half.

[Saalia Dreth]

Saalia picked up his whiskey and returned the 'Cheers' gesture, He then downed the whiskey in one and put the glass back down. "Well, You know how to get me motivated thats for sure. I'm ready to leave whenever you are, Any planet in particular? I don't know of many planets or what is upon them, Although i do have pre-set coordinates upon my ship, The vessel was originally a Jedi's. I have removed the tracker, So no worry about that.".

Saalia then picked up his ale and took a big sip and placed it back down, He turned to his side and noticed the bartender watching them. The bartender quickly turned his head as he noticed Saalia looking at him. Saalia snarled, "Nosey bastard.".

[Xyndar Galadan]

Taking another, smaller, sip Xyndar considered the question. Where could they go? They weren't strong enough, yet, to travel into Republic space so openly without a good chane of running into Jedi in numbers, and more importantly, skill they couldn't handle. So that limited it to either Sith Space or Independant Planets. Thinking quietly while He glanced around the bar for anyone paying too much attention to them, aside from the Bartender who He knew listened to everyone carefully, He considered more remote places.

Tilting his head back slightly, He closed his eyes as He let himself sink into the force, trying to see if He could get a feel for anywhere that had a particular pull for him. After almost a minute of nothing, He scoffed and pulled himself back to reality before making a rather impromptu decision. "How about Tattooine? It's not got much in the way of population, but there should be some fun to had out in the wastes, if the rumours I've heard are to believed. If nothing else, There's Jawa's and Tusken's to hunt." It wasn't much of a destination, but it'd have to do for now, Maybe they could figure out somewhere a bti more exciting after.

[Saalia Dreth]

Saalia looked at Xyndar as he mentioned the planet of Tattooine, He had heard alittle about the planet, From what he had heard it was much like his home planet of stoga. "Alright, Tattooine it is, I hear it is much like my home planet so we shouldn't have too much problem hunting there.". Saalia picked up his glass and took another big sip, Looking around the room once more to check to see if anyone is watching them. "So, When would you like to leave? We could leave now if you wanted. It'd best to not leave it too late, One too many of these ale's and we could be ending up flying into something.", Saalia let out alittle laugh at the thought of crashing into a building and then took another sip of his glass which left it empty.

[Xyndar Galadan]

Raising his glass and draining the last of it, Xyndar smirked as he grabbed a few credits from his pocket and tossed them on the table as He stood. Why should they waste any time now, When they could be having so much fun practicing their skills on living targets? Loking down at Saalia He raised an eyebrow whille He waited. "Well, Are you coming? No time like the present, To hunt down sentients and have some real fun."

He waited for Saalia to lead him to the ship, and more importantly, get him off this rock.

[Saalia Dreth]

Saalia stood up from the booth, Putting his hand into one of his many pockets within his robe, He pulled out a few credits and put them onto the table. Turning to face the door Saalia spoke out to Xyndar. "Coming? My ship is this way.". Saalia then continued to walk to the door of the cantina, Adjusting his hood to fully conceal his face.

Folding his arms again as he walked down the city streets towards the docking station of the planet, As he reached there he walked up to the Docking Manager and asked for a droid to deliver food and fuel to the ship for their journey, Saalia paid the man credits for his help. Turning around to Xyndar, Saalia spoke once more. "Well, The ship is just through those doors there. So if you have any last minute things you need to do before we leave, Now is the best time to do them. I'll be waiting on the ship, Come and tell me when you're ready to fly.".

Saalia then turned towards the docking bay doors, Opening them he walked up onto his ship. Walking around the hull he checked to make sure their was enough food and water and also fuel for them both to make the journey, Saalia never did trust hired help. They always had a way of letting things slip.

Pleased with everything that was going on within the ship, Saalia made his way to the cockpit and began to setup the course for the ship to make its way to tattooine. Sitting in his seat he began to tap the buttons upon the ship's computer interface and successfully entered the hyperspace coordinates for the orbit of Tattooine.

Happy with the coordinates and everything else, Saalia returned to the living quarters to await Xyndar's boarding.

[Xyndar Galadan]

Watching Saalia head for the ship, Xyndar leaned against the wall for a moment, considering if there was anything He'd forgotten or had to do here on Korriban. All He'd been planning to do lately was practice his saber skills and try to find something that could show him the basic stances of another style. After all, Variety was good. Looking back towards the ship, He decided there was nothing left here to do for now, and started to follow Saalia.

Taking a moment as He reached the ship to look it over, He quickly made for the docking hatch and entered the ship. It didn't take him long to find Saalia in what He assumed to be the living quarters. "Tsk, tsk, You say let's go and yet here you are sitting around, doing nothing. I'm dissapointed, I expected you to be waiting to get off this rock. He commented as He leaned against the wall, waiting for Saalia to get them out of here.

[Saalia Dreth]

Saalia sat in his chair as he sensed the Aura of Xyndar grow closer, Looking up at the only door to the living quarters Saalia smirked when he heard Xyndar's tone. Brushing off his robes he got to his feet, "I had been waiting for you to arrive, Everything is set up. I'll begin the flight course now, You might want to take a seat, It will be quite a long fly.".

Saalia then walked off back towards the cockpit to begin the flight procedures, Transmitting the flight codes Saalia took the ship off the ground and began to fly into the orbit of the planet. Heading upwards towards the orbit, Saalia turned to his right of his seat and activated the old droid. The droid beeped and then began to take control of the ship, The second the ship hit outer orbit the jump to hyperspace began and the ship rumbled moderately. Saalia got out of the seat and walked back to the living quarters, Leaving the ship in the capable hands of the droid.

Re-entering the living quarters, Saalia returned to his seat and pulled out a death stick. He twirled a lighter into his right hand and lit the death stick and took a long drag before pulling his left arm up, He then tapped a few buttons on his wristpad and four or five droids came to life. Saalia looked over to Xyndar and smirked "Got them from off some old merchant on korriban, Not much useful as war droids but they're good to serve as servants.". Taking another drag on his deathstick as one of the droids brought him over a Corellian whiskey he reached for his drink and took a sip. "Well Xyndar, Its a long journey. So make yourself at home, If you'd like I can grab a few of them holocrons and scrolls of which i was talking of, Unless you'd rather leave them for later or another time?". Saalia twirled the context of his drink within the bottom of his glass and then downed it. Putting his glass back on the droids serving tray.

[Xyndar Galadan]

Moving from the doorway, Xyndar watched the "servants" as they carried drinks from...somewhere. Moving over to a seat, Xyndar reached out threw the force and pulled the deathstick from Saalia's lips as He sat, contently grabbing it out of the air as He looked around. Leaning back in the, admittedly, comfy seat He considered the options. There were only two, really, Either meditate for the length of the trip, or take a chance and learn something new...Easy enough for one such as him.

Looking over at Saalia while taking a drag on the deathstick, He wondered just what He might have on here. "You might as well have those servant's of yours get the scrolls, and whatever else you have. Otherwise it's going to be a long trip full of exciting meditation." He smirked around the smoke in his mouth at Saalia as He spoke.

[Saalia Dreth]

Saalia looked awkwardly as he watched Xyndar steal his death stick, Saalia sighed and then pulled out one more from his inner robes. Putting it up to his lips and lighting it, Then removing his hood feeling secure enough within his own ship to do so. Raising his hand Saalia called one of the droids over to him, Saalia then gave instructions for the droid to go and fetch some of the holocrons and scrolls from his secret cargo hold.

Looking back at Xyndar he pondered, "So, What exactly are you looking into learning Xyndar? I have quite a few holocrons and scrolls about alot of things, Currently the droid is getting us some involving that of the ability to stun your opponent using the force. I've been reading up on this for some time, And my father once cast it upon me before.". Saalia took another drag of his deathstick and looked up to the galactic clock at the top of the door, Just a few mere seconds after the droid had returned with the scrolls and holocrons that Saalia had requested.

Saalia held out his hand and took the scrolls and holocrons, Not willing to throw any of the objects across to Xyndar and too lazy to get up, Saalia motioned for Xyndar to come and sit in the chair next to him. So they could both use the knowledge of the Force and common sense to determine the best way of going about learning such abilities.

[Xyndar Galadan]

Watching the droid leave, and return shortly afterwards with the scrolls He considered what exactly it was He wanted to learn. His skills, so far, existed in combining saber combat with destructive blasts of the force. It was what He'd developed, and what He was good at, So He needed a more versatile Saber-Style and more destructive force abilities. Xyndar couldn't help but sigh as He saw Saalia wave him over, He could never just sit anymore it seemed.

Standing, Xyndar brushed a stray ash off his clothes, smearing part of it in and leaving a slightly darker gray spot. Moving as quickly as He could, He sat next to Saalia as He looked over at the scroll. "Mostly I'm looking for a stronger saber style and more destructive force techniques. I'm sure you got the idea earlier, With how much I threw around lightning while trying to create an opening with the saber. Pretty much all I focus on, really." He answered, hoping Saalia had something useful for him in his mess of scrolls.

[Saalia Dreth]

Saalia wondered for a second as he sorted through the scrolls, Placing some on the table infront of them for Xyndar to look at. Eventually Saalia had found the exact scroll he was looking for, "Ah, Here it is. The Sith power of Fear. My parents mentioned it quite abit, It's supposed to make your opponents cower in fear at your feet.". Saalia began to read the description of the scroll from top to bottom, After reading it once he re-read the entire thing. After he had finished he raised his hand and began emitting force energy, Saalia tried to conjure the energy required to surge fear into a target, But unlike the other force powers Saalia just didn't seem to think it worked.

Leaning forward Saalia grabbed a few holocrons from off the table, Picking them up and sorting through them. He opened a few and played them to see what was within them, Alot of the writing was within another language, A language Saalia could only predict to be sithese. Although the language within the actual holocrons was galactic basic, It would take some time to sort through the holocrons to find the right one that he was looking for. "The damn thing has gotta be around here somewhere, I remember watching it. My parents gave a great ammount of detail of what to do to cast the spell outwards, They did say it would be tricky for the first few times. Especially if we was to use it agaist another force user.".

Saalia called over a droid of his and told it to go and fetch him and Xyndar a glass of corellian ale from the cooler, The droid fluttered off as Saalia extended his search to some of the holocrons that had fallen to the floor. After looking through a few of the holocrons, The holocron he needed was within his hands. "This is it, Finally.", As the droid came back with the drinks Saalia grabbed his glass and took a deep sip. Sitting back in his chair he placed the holocron upon the table and waved his hand, Emitting force energy from his palm to lower the lights of the room so they was able to watch the recording.

As the lights went down, The holocron recording shot up from the inside of the pyramid shaped container and sound emitted into the air. Saalia leaned back in his chair and scratched his head as his parents voice had filled the air.

[Xyndar Galadan]

Grabbing the glass of ale from the droid, Xyndar leaned back into his seat as He pulled the scroll on fear over to himself threw the force. If nothing else, It would allow openings to be used. Glancing towards Saalia and his holocron, He snorted slightly as He focused on the scroll. It gave surprisingly direct descriptions, but He knew it wouldn't be nearly as easy as it sounded.

Settling in to read the scroll, He calmly sipped at his ale while trying to understand just how the attack would work. Something told him that it would take most of the trip just to understand the skill, nevermind be able to use it properly.

Glancing up from his scroll, He noticed the look of rapt attention on Saalia's face. That unnerved him slightly, From what He'd seen Saalia had no lasting interest in anything, and to see him so absorbed in what He was doing was...disturbing, to say the least. "What, exactly, are you doing over there that's got you so fascinated?" He asked as He turned his focus back to the scroll.

[Saalia Dreth]

As Saalia continued to watch the holocron he noticed that Xyndar had used the force to pull the scroll of the Sith Fear to himself, Taking another sip of khis drink before replying to Xyndar's question, "Listening to the description of the force power that my parents had pre-recorded on these holocrons, I don't really have many of them. From what i can see i pretty much have all the basic powers described on holocrons.", Saalia took another sip of his glass before putting it back down at the side of the holocron.

Saalia cleared his throat and continued to talk, "I've done alittle research upon the archives back on korriban, And pretty much we have enough here to learn quite alot about force powers, And even a few scrolls about tip to aid in your saber stances.", Saalia glazed into the holocron as the recording ended. Raising his palm once more he focus'd upon what he had just learnt from the holocron and began to emit force energy from his hand. As before the energy was following, But no effect was cast about the room.

Saalia sighed and looked towards Xyndar, "Well, I better go check on our location, See if you can learn anymore about this force power.". Saalia got up out of his seat, Reached for the holocron and handed it over to Xyndar. He then spun on his heels and headed for the door towards the cockpit, As he went through the doors he noticed the droid maintaining the ship within the cockpit. Walking further up Saalia took his seat and began to tap some buttons within the ships computer interface, Checking fuel consumption and other supplies Saalia was pretty happy. Although he thought he'd stick in the cockpit for awhile, It'd give Xyndar a chance to get a break through with the Fear power.

So Saalia leaned back and closed his eyes, Beginning to meditate lightly. Seeping into a light sleep as normal, He could just about still hear the ship rattling as it travelled through hyperspace.
