The Stygian Reaches? It was the first Kyssiara was hearing about it, though by Ra'sa'd's description it seemed plausible that some very ancient Purebloods might have ventured out here before mention of their journeys were lost to time. His answer provided some clarity, though the acolyte wasn't sure how helpful the information ultimately was. On that note, he seemed to be talking with a little more confidence than Kyssiara would have expected of a guide who was scared for his life—
Everything next happened so fast. A droid activated, catching attention of the girl's master (@Akheron) while she felt Ra'sa'd drawing on the Force; out of the corner of her eye, the Pureblood noticed some kind of scrap or debris at the gorgeous redhead (@GABA) who'd been piloting the shuttle. Kyssiara had no time to shout out a warning, though, as the thief-turned-guide turned on her next, his arm cocked back and ready to throw a punch.
This is what she got for playing nice. No more.
Ra'sa'd was halfway through his swing when he'd find himself thrown back against the wall, Kyssiara's hand extended as she pinned him there. Golden eyes shone bright as the girl channeled the Dark Side, drawing on all her pent up anger from her earlier humiliation on the deck of the Wildcard. Behind her, she could feel her master drawing on the Force himself, sensing his focus was on the other Pureblood as well.
"I've got him!" Kyssiara called out, beginning to walk forward while she addressed Trodai behind her. "He's mine." The acolyte continued pinning Ra'sa'd to the wall as she closed the distance; intensifying the pressure to not just restrain him but to hurt him, threatening to crush him like an ant under a boot. "Let's make one thing very clear." she began. "You're only alive at our mercy. At my mercy specifically, got it? And I ain't the regretful type like the first guy ta shoot you."
Kyssiara's eyes bore into Ra'sa'd as she sent him brief flashes of memory through their psychic link, images of what she'd done to the bankers of Aargu. "So ya either help us leave, or I kill ya; right here, right now."
