It was still strange for Sorn to think that he had captured a Sith singlehandedly (even if that particular Sith hadn't done a whole lot of fighting, though his companion made up for it), that he had been involved in a deadly battle for his life against two arguably stronger foes and managed to walk out alive. He was still walking off the side effects, but the trick he had pulled under duress, giving over to his emotions, treading the Dark line in service of the light, was pretty awesome, he had to admit. He might even name it, if he could perfect it. But that wasn't what truly occupied Sorn's thoughts. He had been in fights before; he was somewhat used to the adrenaline rush that came with the territory. No, Sorn was fascinated by his prisoner.
His name was apparently Anima, which sounded false or perhaps a taken name (which the Sith were oddly fond of), but Sorn didn't really know. What he did know was that Anima was an extremely atypical specimen. Most Sith looked out only for themselves; the Dark Side glorified the strength of the individual, which was usually demonstrated by defeating other individuals in some way. He was told that the "power" in the Sith Code had many different forms, depending on how the Sith in question thought. It could refer to raw strength, knowledge, finesse, even tactical intelligence - anything that allowed the Sith to gain an advantage. The Code was viewed with a near-religious attention to detail, much as the Jedi Code was, though admittedly the Sith Code left a lot more to individual interpretation; further examples, Sorn supposed, of Dark Side philosophies at work.
But Anima had repeatedly saved his companion, whose name he had not revealed, from injury and certain capture (and in one case, instant death) and also allowed himself to be captured so that the other Sith could flee - an act of sacrifice, no matter how it was looked at. This was strange, and Sorn wanted to know why. So, in his usual direct manner, he had decided to ask Anima himself.
Sorn made his way through the halls of the great Temple on Coruscant, nodding to fellow Jedi who said hello and waving off friends and acquaintances, indicating that he was in a hurry. His path eventually took him to the massive library which had on the other side a makeshift detention center, very rarely used but still there, just in case. Sorn had even heard that there had been some issues getting the force cages to run, since it had been so long since they had been powered on and evidently they were not regularly inspected. It was here that Anima was being held, and it was here that Sorn intended to get answers.
