She took his hand and guided it around his other arm, interlocking their arms once more. And with that he led her to his apartment. At first it looked like they were going back to the dangerous area, but then he took a different turn. He did indeed take a wrong turn...

He remained silent throughout the rest of the walk, though he did glance at her now and then to make sure she was alright. After a few minutes they reached a skyscraper and he led her to the elevator. The doors slid open and he led her into the penthouse suite. The apartment was very luxurious, clearly only affordable for a person with money. He let go of her as they entered and made his way over to the open plan kitchen. With a sigh he placed his jacket on the counter, two thuds sounding off as his lightsabers made contact. "Unfortunately that bottle we took at the club was lost in all the excitement. Can I get you anything else?" he asked her with a guilty smile.

In the meantime, he made himself a cup of tea and leaned against the counter. He watched her with a gentle gaze. "So, any other questions? Opinions?" he took a sip then placed the cup down before walking towards her.

For years Soraya had no one to rely on but herself, she was wary of trusting others lest they should betray her but she felt different with Arthur, she felt safe in his embrace and relaxed once more when they were on the move. After all, he had likely just saved her life, if she wasn't going to trust him now then she never would.

Upon seeing Arthur's apartment, Soraya's eyes widened as they scanned the apartment and she fought the urge to gasp as she didn't want to look pathetic. She had never seen anything like it, let alone been anywhere like it. Where on Zeltros did he get his money from? She wondered but was drawn out of her trance when he spoke to her.

By now, she had come down from the high and was only just tipsy but wanted to keep a clear mind for the conversation they were about to have so she shook her head at his offer for something else. "No thanks." She replied, positioned herself against the counter opposite him and folding her arms, seemingly serious. "Yeah. What did you mean that you were more powerful than a Jedi? How can that be? Aren't the Jedi trained to use the Force?" She asked, perplexed.

Arthur couldn't help but chuckle at her question. "They are, yes." he commented, smiling at her. But the trick is how they are trained." he continued, then held his hand out. The cup of tea started to levitate and float over to his mouth, where he took a sip and proceeded to place it on the counter once again. "The Jedi are told to stay away from emotion. They are not allowed to feel passion, emotion, any of that. They need to stay away from it, block it out and always keep a clear mind, no matter what."

He took another step closer, right in front of her. "The order I am part of is told to do the opposite. We are told to embrace emotion and passion. To take it, control it, and use it to strengthen ourselves." he reached out to her, running a hand along her arm up to her cheek. "Anger. Happiness. Love. Grief. All of these emotions, passions and ambitions we feel. We use it and embrace it. And in return it makes us stronger."

He cupped her cheek, and slowly started to lean in. "That is what gives us our power. And what makes us stronger than the Jedi. We don't deny who we are. We embrace it." he muttered gently, his other hand reaching out to snake around her side and gently pull her closer. "And in return, the Force sets us free." he muttered as he closed the distance to place a kiss on her lips.

Of course, he would back off if she didn't want to. But he hoped she would. If he could get this far with her, he would make progress...

Soraya watched in awe as Arthur made a cup levitate and wondered whether she could learn to do the same one day. She had recently learned of her own Force sensitivity but it hadn't meant much to her at the time, she only thought it would be a good way to protect herself but the way Arthur was talking about it made it seem like there was the potential for more than that and being powerful did sound like it could be beneficial...

She listened intently to Arthur's responses to her questions, it sure sounded awfully nice but most things like that were too good to be true. His answers only brought more questions to mind but given that most were about the Jedi she was unsure if he would be able to answer them, after all she didn't know a lot about the Jedi herself, she only knew what she had overheard from others and hadn't even seen a lightsaber for the first time until recently, Arthur's was the second.

There were doubts that she had about this order Arthur was describing, he seemed nice enough but she enjoyed the independence she had on her own and had hoped to learn how to utilise the force on her own. However, another part of her didn't want to be alone any more so she was torn, unsure where to stand on the matter. Soraya wrapped her arms around his neck as he came closer and pressed her body to his before leaning in to give him a kiss on the lips that they had been so rudely interrupted before earlier. There were still questions that came to mind but they didn't seem to be as urgent anymore.

He could feel her doubts, her curiosity. She still wanted to know more. That was good. But right now, none of that mattered as she pulled him closer and passionately returned his kiss. He hugged her close, his hands exploring her body as his lips connected with hers. He only broke away to pick her up and place her on the counter, then from there he scooped her up and carried her off to the bedroom, still kissing as he walked. The door slid closed behind them as he made his way to the bed and gently laid her down on top of it. A few seconds later, he was poised over her, his hands getting rid of her layers of clothing...

*******​

The first rays of sunlight inched into the bedroom window, casting its golden light over the balcony as well as the beautiful view Zeltros' skyline had to offer. Clothing was scattered all over, the luxurious bed was a mess...and Arthur was nowhere in sight. The only indication that he was still in the apartment, was the fact that some of his clothing was still on the floor along with his personal datapad and comlink.

A smell would soon enter the bedroom. Fresh coffee was being brewed and the smell of omelettes filled the air. Arthur was behind the counter, dressed in his underwear and wearing his shirt loosely. The breakfast was almost done and two plates were at the ready

Any questions or doubts she had melted away the moment their bodies made contact and all focus was turned to the here and now. Soraya was slow and passionate with her movements, feeling at ease in his presence and once on the counter, she wrapped her legs around his waist and drew him towards her suggestively before releasing him and leaning in for another kiss as he had broken away. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he picked her up again and continued the kiss but released when she could feel him starting to put her down on the bed.

*******

Soraya woke up with sunlight in her eyes and frowned, turning away from the light to go back to sleep but through half-asleep eyes found the space next to her was empty. She sat up in the bed and looked around the room for any sign of Arthur and for a moment her mind went to thoughts of stealing from him but she quickly banished such thoughts, he may have saved her life the night before after all.

The smell of breakfast was enough to spur Soraya to drag herself out of bed so she put on the clothes she had been wearing the night before and followed the smell to the kitchen, lingering in the doorway for a moment to observe Arthur. He seemed sweet so far and from the looks of it, he was treating her better than anyone had ever treated her since she'd been alone. "Morning." She greeted him with a smile as she walked over to join him and once close enough, she stood on her toes and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Arthur could feel her approaching, but he pretended to not notice. He only looked up when she approached and placed a kiss on his cheek. He game a warm smile as he slid their dinner onto their plates. "Good morning. I trust you slept well?" he asked her looking up at her.

He poured the coffee into two mugs and placed them by the plates. The sugar was also placed next to the plates along with the milk. "I wasn't sure what you liked. So I just took a guess." he confessed with a shrug as he pulled a seat closer to sit by the counter across from her. "If you want to freshen up, the bathroom is across the hallway from the bedroom." he explained as he cut a piece of omelette off and stacked the insides on his fork.

He ate slowly, holding his cutlery carefully just as he was taught on a daily basis. He glanced up at her every few moments, looking her over and observing. "Unfortunately I don't have any spare women's clothing...though, I think that is a reassurance at least." he joked, using it to cover up what probably looked rather awkward.

"I did, thank you." She smiled, looking at him through sleepy eyes. The way he was treating her surprised her to say the least. Although Zeltrons were hospitable, they tended to be polygamous so it was rare for an individual to get undivided attention and there were others who just wanted her out of their hair as soon as possible so it was nice to be treated with respect.

Soraya slid into the seat opposite Arthur and began eating the food he had prepared. "Oh, I'm not fussy." She told him before adding. "It's lovely, thank you." It was hard to be fussy when you couldn't afford to be. "Will do, thanks." She said in response to his offer to freshen up, grateful that she wouldn't be sharing the bathroom with a handful of Zeltrons which wasn't uncommon.

Everything Arthur did, down to the way he spoke, seemed so elegant; it made Soraya feel inferior even though he had treated her as an equal and she wondered why he was even entertaining her the way he was when she was so far beneath him. "Well... each to their own." She chuckled.

As they ate, her mind wandered back to the night before, she remembered she had one burning question to ask Arthur which she hadn't managed to figure out on her own. "Arthur." She said to get his attention rather than announcing the question at random. "Why don't the Jedi become more powerful if there is a way for them to do so?" She asked, looking at him expectantly.

She thanked him for the meal and he flashed a smile before continuing with his meal. For a good few moments they ate in silence, giving Arthur a lot of time to feel her presence in the force. She had so much potential. He just needed to draw her in and get her to want to join him.

He looked up from his meal when she spoke her name. "Yes?" he spoke politely. She proceeded to ask him a question that really intrigued him. "It all comes down to philosophy as well as the individual." he explained simply, taking a sip of coffee before continuing. "You see, the Force can be dangerous if you're not careful. When we use our passions and emotions to give us power, we run the risk of losing ourselves in it. There's that craving for more and more. And the more power we harness for ourselves, the more we lose ourselves in it. Some can go completely mad with power and lose whatever redeeming qualities they had. A good example of that is Emperor Palpatine, if you've heard of him. That is why not only the Jedi, but force users over all should not take more than they can handle...and resist the temptation for more." he explained calmly and gently, knowing that his explanation sucked. He fully expected more questions.

"As for the Jedi specifically, it's part of their philosophy. They use the force differently, and using power like my order does runs the risk of having them fall to that corruption. The fact that they also don't have experience with that kind of power also makes them more susceptible. Some Jedi know how to walk that line. To use the same power as us to a small degree and still remain safe from any corruption. These ones also know how to resist that temptation. Those are the strong ones. I hold great respect for them. But the rest? Not so much." he admitted, ending with a chuckle.

He took another sip of his coffee then held out his hand. A piece of her omelette started to float in the air...then float over to his plate and land neatly. He smugly smiled at her as he proceeded to eat that small bite. "Power like that does have its perks." he teased her.

Occasionally, there was a certain feeling she felt around Arthur but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was nor make sense of it, all she knew was that she wanted to feel it more. Soraya listened intently to Arthur's answer to her question and as she suspected, it was a rather long winded and complicated answer and he seemed to take care in answering it, it seemed like he was trying to persuade her to have a certain view.

"Oh, wow." She thought aloud, surprised by the heavy answer. She had never even considered that using the Force could be so dangerous but she didn't know a lot about it in the first place to even make that judgement. If this path was the one she chose then she doubted she'd be tempted to gain too much power, sure being more powerful than the average person sounded pleasing but becoming some almighty supreme overlord wasn't exactly on her to-do list.

Soraya's brows furrowed in thought, it sounded risky to her and she wasn't sure if it was worth the risk so she remained uncertain at the prospect of utilising more powerful aspects of the Force at the risk of becoming corrupted. "I don't want to become corrupted." She told Arthur. "It seems like a high price to pay." She observed. After all, she still had her mother to lose and she didn't want to be unrecognisable when they met again.

"Hey!" She leaned forwards over the counter and picked up a piece of his omelette with her fork and sat back down on her chair and stuffed it into her mouth before he could do anything about it before pulling a big smile. "If I knew how to use the Force, I would but until then I'll get along like I always have done." She told him before she took a sip of coffee, enjoying the warm feeling of the mug against her palms.

Arthur blinked at her comment. So she knew about her force sensitivity. And she wanted to learn. That just made his life much easier. But now he had another issue to deal with: winning her over.

He laughed when she stole a part of his omelette, smiling warmly at her. "You should be careful." he spoke calmly. "Because I know how to use the force..." he gave a sly smile as he leaned forward. "And how to punish people with it." he teased, giving a wink. He sat back and continued with his meal for a moment before speaking up again. "Corruption is only dangerous to those who allow it to take hold of them." his mood shifted to a more serious tone. "I can teach you, if you like. You have potential. You can learn the basics. And if you want to learn more, become stronger, then I can teach you further. And like I said, the corruption is only dangerous if you allow it to take you." he explained, finishing his meal and placing down his cutlery next to each other.

He sipped at his coffee as he looked at her. "Trust me when I tell you, you can still grow stronger without falling." he reassured her, taking another sip. He rose from his seat and made his way around the counter to lean against it next to her.

Soraya smirked at Arthur's comment and looked up through her eyelashes at him. "Is that a threat or a promise?" She teased him back. After finishing her meal, she placed her folded arms on the table but immediately removed them after noticing that Arthur hadn't done the same and it could be considered improper of her. She didn't want to show herself up after he had offered her such hospitality.

It sounded tempting, to say the least, to learn to harness an innate power which could be used to your advantage. The corruption sounded ominous but she believed Arthur saying it was only dangerous to those who allowed it and she knew she wouldn't allow herself to change, she didn't want unlimited power anyway, just enough so that when she found her mother she could prevent her from ever being taken away from her again.

At the offer of being taught, Soraya pondered for a moment. She had been so long without a family, maybe it was time to find another and come to understand who she was at the same time. "Ok, well... I'll try it." She told him, unwilling to give total commitment to Arthur and his order the first time meeting, but she was curious to learn more about the Force and how to control it and this seemed like the best way of doing so.

She rose to join Arthur and closed the distance between them and when she was close to his face, she whispered. "I trust you." Before leaning in to kiss him passionately and looping her arms around his neck. After a few moments, she pulled away and reached for his hand to guide him back to the bedroom.
