Watering cans, oddly shaped in resemblance of a flowering bud and vine like spout, were presented to the guests. None had to take them and neither did Koto enforce it. Testing them to see if their care extended. Observing which flora was suitable in the eyes of each individual. Tallying how many plants were given life sustaining water. “Our arrangement of kingdom plantae is extremely varied. Most are foreign, some are native, but all live harmoniously together. If you have any questions about them, just ask.” Koto took his can and started forward. Suddenly he was approached by one of the guards who whispered something into his ear. “Apologies. I must excuse myself for but a moment.” The two walked into an alcove.
Were voices bestowed upon flora, what songs might they sing? Would such a plethora of chromaticism ring pleasantly? Doubtful, each singular thought or speech rarely conforms as individuals perform their own aria. Altruistic hands grasped outward, palming a blossom hanging delicately. Gripped tightly, It became sheltered in these hands. Ongye wondered, pondered more so, if fear was capable by such a simplistic creation. Pleading for release, begging for life, or complacent and thankful to embrace death. There came a smile, not sly but comforting. Happily he’d embrace oblivion, tortured by his past. Propelled forward with monstrous fortitude. Sunlight shined splendent upon the pink blossom. Petals flexed freely, unabated, and unharmed. Wind flowed to stimulate movement though it may have been gratitude. Ongye disqualified any notion that such an entity made of simplistic cells was capable of appreciation. With watering can in hand he moistened the sod just enough. ”May I say something Alek?” The words came with a promising invitation upon the tongue which spoke them. Deserving of adequate attention. What followed depended on Alek but nothing would hinder a progressive thought. Chuckles of rewarding candor following sarcastic responses should they come. ”The Sith have changed since last you’ve been enslaved. Our methods of coercion have changed. Sadly pain and fear are still predominant teachings but dulled since the dark ages.” Clever was the demeanor in which he spoke. Careful to demonstrate half hazard approach and remorsefulness. Such was a silver tongued serpent to do. ”I apologize for earlier. Nothing warranted such hateful words. Truly you are still that young boy. I see it in your eyes. Carrying sins best left in the past. Say I, you should never forget them. Instead feed upon them. If title is nothing more than such, should you continue practices befitting of the name?” Ongye refused to turn around and focus on the two. Partitioning rations of water along the soil’s bed. ”I’d be honored to call you my fraternal brother. With the Jedi it’s only a matter of time before you’re sent to exile. Were you in need of a new home, your presence would be welcomed amongst our kinship.” Lofty hands grazed prickly vines, leaving each intact. Lovingly lifting petals into the air to smell graciously.
“The girl, is she alright?” Koto asked stroking his chin whilst an eye followed Arador.
The guard looked down unsure. Kneeling before his lord. “Possibly, we’re having her taken to be looked at.” Looking up to catch the man’s wandering gaze he said. “What of the boy? Servants say they saw him leaving the yard.”
Separating the space was a drawn out silence. Koto seemingly lost in transient thought. Sighing before speaking up. “We do nothing. His discovery only broadens our future endeavors. Should he speak up now it would only further his criminality. Allow the servants to spread word but make sure it never reaches his highnesses ears.” They parted respectfully. Bowing to one another. He took up the watering can, eyeing Ardor in passing.
