    Ask Carpe Diem

    It was strange—otherworldly, and yet alluring—to feel your own touch on your skin resonate with someone else's. But even more surprising was the grip on Kori's own hand. It made the Zeltron break concentration, open her eyes and look at the blonde, only to realize that it wasn't Alyse's hand...
  2. Nykoria Tallis

    Ask Nebulous Intentions

    As Alyse covered her with the blanket, Kori responded with a weak, shy, and yet radiant smile. The Governor's confused reaction and blushing were priceless on their own. But even more so were the countless pun opportunities that the blonde had presented with the mention of "not thinking...

    Ask Nebulous Intentions

    Even if Kori remained silent, she did sense the shift within her partner. It manifested as a sudden tug on the opposite of the ethereal string connecting the two; as waking up after briefly succumbing to drowsiness. As the blonde left the room, Nykoria remained lying on the bed, staring...

    Ask Carpe Diem

    "My Ashla" got the Zeltron every time. It drew a wide smile on Kori's lips, as her gaze shyly darted down, towards the hot black liquid in the cup. The two now found themselves sitting on the Governor's desk, cups of caf in hands. The hazels shot briefly to the side as Alyse adjusted her tunic...

    Ask Nebulous Intentions

    Kori gulped when she sensed the Sith's palms on her temples again. As the pain faded away, the Zeltron was left in a very relaxed state. To her own surprise, Kori found out that she could only blink in compliance when Alyse told her to "hold still". But she was not opposed to that in the...

    Ask Carpe Diem

    Alyse's plan was solid. As a Jedi once said about a lightsaber, "even when inactive, it could defuse a potentially volatile situation". The same applied to a Bakuran attack groups stationed in nearby sectors. The firepower alone would prevent a fight; which is what the Jedi were supposed to be...

    Ask Nebulous Intentions

    The touch of alabaster palms on her temples didn't elicit the familiar warm feeling in the Zeltron. If anything, it felt like going through a medical examination: a tense and somewhat awkward experience. The mental barriers were always a given; shedding them away felt almost like going somewhere...
  8. Nykoria Tallis

    Ask Carpe Diem

    Kori didn't have to be asked twice, so she entered the study on Alyse's gesture. Few words were exchanged with the Chiss, but something told the Jedi Master that there was more going on behind the scenes. With the Senator taking most of Kori's attention, the file binder was easily pushed away...

    Ask Nebulous Intentions

    Alyse presented Kori with two options. Splitting up was a no go: left alone, the Zeltron wouldn't be able to protect herself, should any more hostiles appear. Frankly, mental subjugation didn't sound like a much better option. Kori couldn't quite put it why; trusting Alyse wasn't an issue; but...

    Ask Carpe Diem

    Refreshed and dressed up in her preferred indigo robes—befitting a Jedi, but made of more refined Bakuran fabrics—Nykoria found herself brushing her hair when she heard Alyse's words from the room below. One benefit of being a Jedi was heightened perception: the Zeltron heard not only her loved...
  11. Nykoria Tallis

    Ask Carpe Diem

    Clearing the mind of all the ideas that Alyse had given the Zeltron with that Force Bond stunt proved problematic. Not that Kori even wanted to. That day, she'd rather not clear her mind and focus on her surroundings. Instead, she thought of the close bond that the Governor and the Jedi shared...

    Ask Nebulous Intentions

    Inhale. She lost track of time. Exhale. She didn't even see what was going on. Inhale. The thunder came to a close, replaced with the screeching of metal being bent in ways it wasn't meant to. Exhale For a moment, Kori even forgot where she was, and why she was there. All that remained was...

    Ask Carpe Diem

    With Alyse running off to meet her unknown visitor, Kori was left to herself. She did see the blonde off with her eyes, before returning to her meditation... Or so it appeared. In reality, Kori couldn't let go of one thing that had been bothering her for weeks now. How to reach out to the Jedi...

    Ask Nebulous Intentions

    In a moment, things got worse. Even though Alyse was quick enough to ignite her saber, the distraction of the pain allowed another shot to land; this time on the Zeltron's hip. And unlike the previous injury, it wasn't a grazing wound; it made Nykoria—not a stranger to pain by that point—fall...
  15. Nykoria Tallis

    Ask Carpe Diem

    It didn't surprise Kori that Alyse easily dodged her move. Nor was the subsequent swing of both blades downwards. It now took a conscious effort to hide the intent between the duo; to the point where an outside observer could see their duel as a rehearsed dance with lightsabers. Perhaps a...

    Ask Carpe Diem

    Kori had to give Alyse one thing: for all her Sith training, the blonde was playing fair with her. Maybe even too fair. There was definitely more to her skills and techniques than she was willing to show. But then again, neither of them were out there to utterly destroy each other. Having a bit...

    Ask Nebulous Intentions

    As much as Nykoria hated the heavy and cumbersome EV suits, it didn't feel right to remove them. Let alone leave them on a derelict ship where Force-knows-what had happened. Wariness was in the newly-refilled air. But the Governor's confidence shared by the two won out in the end. As Alyse...

    Ask Carpe Diem

    "It would. Making it sound better and better by the minute, Number Two," the Zeltron replied through gritted teeth as she pushed her opponent back, the blades still locked. She knew that Alyse knew that the tide turned the moment when things went from fencing—Alyse's forte—to a more physical...

    HoloNet News Senator Rayne Condemns ISC Vaccine Nationalism, Sets Out Prioritisation Proposal

    A few weeks in the Unknown Regions with Alyse Ti'Varnus seemed like another Jedi mission. They almost made Nykoria forget that her role was slowly changing to that of the Governor's advisor. But upon their return, things changed big time. Upon diving into the paperwork and catching up with the...
