How's it hanging?

[Eithni Vala Stark]

Theme​

Kashyyyk was absolutely mindblowing for Eithni as she stood leaning over the railing, keeping everyone from falling to their death. It was nothing but trees upon trees as far as she could see. And not just normal trees, these trees were absolutely enormous! On average reaching around three hundred to four hundred meters in height followed by an insane width.

Standing on one of the platforms by the main trading hub of small stalls, ran a young, overexcited and energetic Dathomirian witch around among all the wookies and other aliens walking around among the natives. The young foreign girl had no idea what those hairy creatures were saying and they were kinda scary in a way while still making her want to hug them.

She was pretty much minding her own business, balancing while walking slowly on the safety railing with both arms stretched out, for balancing sake. By doing something like that, would make any normal people see walking on the safety railing as idiotic and stupid for a girl so young, but not Eithni.

Though it did seem to get her into trouble by the local Wookies, roaring her to get off the railing, making her almost tip multiple times, giving them a heart attack.

After another hour of just, messing around, irritate some of the shop owners, being chased by them all over the market for an hour and a half, she finally managed to shake off the pursuer. After her little fun "game", she stood on the outskirts of the busy platform and just sat on the railing, again, with her legs dangling over a seven-hundred meter drop into the depth of Kashyyyk. She was not sure what to do now. She could always leave the planet, now that she was able to use some of her house's fighter ships, or whatever her mom called them.

She decided to try and call her mom, Eva Stark, to hear what she was up to and where she was right now. unfortunately, she didn't pick up EIthni's call. So instead would the young Dathomirian witch just sit and enjoy the insanely beautiful view that the jungle forest gave off. She was also blown away by many of those large platforms there was fourteen by her count and all of them connected to each other.

Her thoughts suddenly went to the Shadowlands or Shadowforest as some of the locals called it in a conversation she overheard while exploring. She wondered what kind of beast roamed the land down in the Shadowland. Would be fun to go down there and get a trophy or something cool.

[Sumas Solus]

No matter how many times Sumas visited Kashyyyk, the view would never cease to astonish him. The trees were as tall as mountains. Its inhabitants not too far behind. The planet always made him feel small in more than one way. But the beauty was unrivalled. It was to be expected from someone like him. Iridonia was harsh desert for the most part.

Though this was also not the place for Sumas to visit at all. A few years ago, before he joined the Mandalorians, he helped a gang of slavers to kidnap and traffic a few Wookiees. Thankfully he didn't show his face to anyone on the planet, but the fear was still there in the back of his mind.

The Meteor touched down on one of the pads and Sumas disembarked. He had a few things to sort out on the planet, though probably his highest hope was to find a chunk of Brylark wood. Having that exquisite piece of wood for the furnishings on his pistols or rifles would definitely go a long way for the gun-nut of a Zabrak. He wandered through the platforms, drifting from one stall or shop to another in search of his items. But as the day went on, his grocery list grew shorter and shorter until there was just one last thing remaining: that bloody piece of wood.

Eventually as he wandered he passed a young girl sitting on the rail...and reversed just like that as he did a double take. "Ummm...excuse me!" he called out, cautiously making his way towards her with raised hands. "You know, there's a lot better ways to end your own life..." he said to her. In his mind, this girl was contemplating jumping off the rail to the ground below. "I'm sure we can talk this through, you know." he continued, cautiously approaching her to not try and spook the girl.

[Eithni Vala Stark]

Minding her own business, she sat and bobbed back and forth with her legs on the railing, not thinking that this very meeting would change so much for her later down her life. "Hm?" Asked Eithni, turning her attention to the voice that came close to where she sat. "End my life?" Asked the girl confused, why would she end her life? If she wanted to end her life, there were much faster ways... or for that matter, easier. "Why would I end my life?" Asked Eithni confused, more to herself than to the Zabrak.

She rotated around, sitting with her back to the depth of death, facing Sumas. She looked the stranger over with her red ruby-coloured eyes and a sweet smile formed, "I'm Eithni, what's yours?" Asked the Dathomirian witch, not at all affected by the seer among of depth under her and a little push was all that mattered. Then her eyes went wide when she realized what he reminded her about and jumped off the railing. She quickly skipped her way over Sumas until she stood right in front of him, "uhh, you look like the Nightbrothers!~ wait, nevermind, Hi! I'm Eithni, but you've of course already knew that, so I guess it's just, hi again!" rambled Eithni, when she realized she said something that she wasn't supposed to tell strangers about.

Eithni then turned around and went back to the railing and crawled up onto it, but instead of just sitting down, she got up and stood on the bloody thing as if she wouldn't die from falling off. "I wonder how far down there is" commented the young girl curiously as she began to bend forward, balancing only one food, to get a better look at the depth below her. Now started other people to look her way, some cast cautious glances at the crazy girl on the railing, but decided against it, as Sumas already were there, trying to talk her out of jumping, or that was what they thought he did.

@KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

Judging from her reaction, ending her life was the last thing on this girl's mind. He stood there, helmet in one hand with a gobsmacked expression. If she wasn't planning on jumping, then what the hell was she doing?! There were better ways to admire the view than that.

Just like that she stood in front of him with a cheerful smile and happy red eyes...yeah, this girl wasn't going to end her life. "Uhh...Sumas." he said with a confused tone, looking her up and down. She looked...off. She wasn't Sith, that much was clear. But she looked rather close to one. Her description of him caught his interest, though. "Nightb-OH! You mean those Zabrak cultists on Dathomir?" he asked her. He wasn't familiar with the Dathomiri Zabraks. All he knew was that they were related as a species and that their lifestyles were vastly different. He couldn't help but gave a slight chuckle at her rambling. She seemed nervous for some reason.

And just like that she was back on the railing. A hand rested on top of his horned head as he held his breath for her part. "About a mile or so...now, don't you think it's a good idea to get off there?" he asked her quickly, almost rambling. He inched closer until he was almost right behind her, holding a hand out to help her down. "Please, before you tumble down there." he practically begged her. This girl was insane! Balancing on the railing like this.

@Raven_41

 

[Eithni Vala Stark]

"Uhhhh, that's a long way down" replied Eithni excited and leaned just a bit further, now standing on her toes. A small smirk formed and disappeared quickly again before Sumas saw it as Eithni suddenly started to tip, "woooaaah ahhhh!" yelled the young girl as she started to tip over, wailing her arms crazily around as to regain her balance. Then, all of a sudden, she did a little jump backwards and landed beside Sumas, and then Eithni just started to laugh. "Did I get you? I totally got you!" Grinned Eithni wholeheartedly with her hands behind her back.

Some of the bypasser breathe a sigh of release but cursed Eithni under their breath for scaring them to death. "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" expressed the young witch with a bubbly grin and turned around and just jumped back up on the railing. The Dathomirian girl decided to just slowly balance walk along the edge, one step at a time with both arms out to the side. "You should try it, it's really fun, just do like I do" offered Eithni.

@KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas eyed her carefully, trying to think of a way to get her down from there. His eyes went wide and he gave a sharp gasp as she wobbled and threatened to fall off the railing. He closed the distance, but before he got the chance to pull her back she landed safely on the platform with a laugh. He eyed her with a shocked look on his face. It soon turned to confusion and then to annoyance. "You're crazy, you know that?" he said to her...and coming from him that was saying something.

Just like that she was back on the railing, walking along it like some circus trick. She suggested joining her, making him smirk. "Alright." he said simply and jumped on as well. But unlike her, he simply clipped his helmet to his belt and folded his arms across his chest as if he was a master at this.

Little did she know that he secretly turned on his gription boots in the process, making balancing and staying on top a lot easier. "Of course we can do this as well..." he trailed off as he stepped off the railing to fall to his death, but a few seconds later he was hanging in the air in front of her with his jetpack keeping him safely in the air. "Say, maybe you can help me. I'm looking for something." he said as he followed her through the air. "A type of tree. It's called "Brylark" or something like that. You know anything about it?" he asked her.

Hopefully she could help him. He was hesitant about asking the locals for help...

@Raven_41

 

[Eithni Vala Stark]

Eithni just gave Sumas a big grin, before she had jumped back up on the railing. The fact that this stranger just upped and joined her on the railing made her smile, though it was a smile Sumas couldn't see from his angle. She stopped when she saw him just jumped off and it caught the girl completely off guard. Apart from Zandrali, was this one the first one that just did something crazy like that without a second thought and that excited the girl.

And then he just flew up beside her and her surprised face grew to an explosive smile, "Oh my goddess! You're flying!" expressed Eithni with a loud squeal, unable to keep her giddiness back. "How do you that, is it that thing behind your back? What is it? How does it keep you up in the air?!" Asked Eithni in a very explosive questioning and just jumped off the railing with not a care in the world to get over to Sumas.

But instead of falling to her death, she just levitated in the air and was now floating right in front of Sumas, giddy as ever. Though, a few things he would notice that had changed about her, was the fact that her eyes were gone, devoured by a green sharp glowing mist with smoke escaping out of the outer counters of her eyes. Her hair even acted as if she was underwater, floating almost in a slow-motion.

Not paying attention to the small crowd of strangers looking their way, some surprised, other in shock and it was most likely directed more to Eithni than Sumas. The young witch looked behind the Mandalorian to get a better look at his jetpack and a long "uhhhh, how does it work" came from her and just started to poke to his jetpack.

@KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas swore his heart skipped a beat when Eithni suddenly jumped after him. His hands flew out to catch her when suddenly she was levitating in front of him. He stared at her, completely taken back by what he was seeing. Her eyes were...smoking? And her hair floated around her.

By the time he snapped back and realized what was going on, she was busy poking at his jetpack. Quickly he spun around and gently grabbed hold of her hand. "Please don't poke it." he asked her. "Last thing I need is for this to stop working." he said with a nervous laugh. "It's basically two thrusters that simply works like engines to keep my in the air." he tried to explain it simply, but he doubted she would understand what he meant at all. She didn't seem too clued up on modern technology. "How are you doing this? I haven't seen Sith do this kind of thing before at all. And you don't look like Sith." he asked her, looking her over as they levitated in the air.

@Raven_41

 

[Eithni Vala Stark]

The entire scenario of them being in the air in front of each other, looked like something out of dancing ballet holovid, expect they were levitating in real life. Turning her gaze to Sumas, "uh that sounds cool! How far can you fly with it?" Asked Eithni curiously and tilted her head to the side to take another look at the roaring jetpack on Sumas' back. Smiling proudly from ear to ear she, rather proud of what she was, however, she might not exactly come off as adorable or cute as her eyes were gone, replaced by green glowing mist and hair moving unnaturally.

"Well I'm a Nightsister, or Dathomirian" explained the young girl in front of the Mandalorian proudly. "And you are one of those helmety type warriors, right?" Asked Eithni as she couldn't quite remember what Mandalorian was called, so helmety warrior seemed close enough to her. The Dathomirian girl turned around and descended back down to the platform and landed gracefully on the safety rail and did a small bounce around, facing Sumas again. Her eyes were back to normal, ruby-coloured eyes looking at him as well as her hair now acting normally, even as a breeze came through the area.

@KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas was really curious as to how they looked. It was probably like a scene out of some sappy kids' movie on the Holonet. He smiled as she asked him further. Was there any limit to this girl's curiosity? "I can pretty much fly anywhere, though I only have a few minutes of flight time in this mode." he explained to her. Her smile was warm and bubbly, but the way her eyes smoked and her hair acted gave rather conflicting thoughts. Though he did have to admit...she was kind of nice. "Speaking of which..." he commented, flying back to the platform and touching down.

She followed him back to the platform, asking him what he was. "Yeah I'm a Mandalorian." he said with a chuckle. "Can't say I've ever met a Nightsister before. What are you doing way out here?" he asked her, leaning against the railing. "Don't you usually stick close to your home planet?" he continued, looking her over.

@Raven_41

 

[Eithni Vala Stark]

"A minute? You should like make it so it would fly even longer!" Added Eithni excited as she moved her legs back a forth on the safety Railing looking at Sumas. "Well, we tend to keep to ourself" explained Eithni with a shrug and looked up at some birds flying from their nests much further up, near the top. "I'm exploring! I want to see as much as I can as well and learn before I'm forced back to be in training for being matriarch for my mom's clan" explained Eithni again with such excitement.

She smiled sweetly and jumped down, and grabbed Sumas' hand and began to pull him away from the Railing, "let's go find that wood of yours you're looking for" suggested the young witch giddy, bringing up the Brylark that he asked her about earlier. "It could be our little adventure, sounds like a bunch of fun! Maybe we would even get to explore the shadowlands!" Proposed Eithni and as she let go of Sumas' hand, she was already skipping her way with hands behind her back, to the nearest trading area.

Sumas would quickly realize that Eithni had a lot of energy and a seemingly unending supply of it to use, as she would not slow down before they arrived at a large trading platform. Even there, she was all over, pulling Sumas with her, like lovers on their first date. Their first stop was by a young man, late twenties, simple clothing and black short hair. "Hey there friends, anything, in particular, you're looking for?" Asked the friendly enough trader with a business smile.

"Do you sell Brylark?" Asked Eithni, still holding Sumas' hand while looking at his goods. "No, unfortunately, but I got a lot of oth~" said the trader and was just about to try and sell some of his other good to Sumas or Eithni, when he was interrupted by Eithni, "No thanks!" commented the witch girl loudly as she was alway pulling Sumas along for the next trader before Sumas could say anything.

By the next stall, the same exact happened, Eithni asked for Brylark, the trader didn't have it and before they could say another wood, had Eithni pulled Sumas along for the next one.

Eithni stopped, however, by a food stand and just looked on with the widest eyes Sumas had ever seen, as she stood and almost drooled over the meat at the stand.

@KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas listened to her explanation, finding her bubbly personality rather infectious. He wanted to ask her over this clan of hers and how her culture worked, but before he got a chance to ask she grabbed his hand and dragged him off. As he stumbled along he slid his helmet back on and recovered.

He ran along with her, trying to ignore the stares. Thankfully he had his helmet on. He was sure it looked a little odd for a girl to be yanking him along as if they were on a date. They ran from one shop to the next, and he worked hard to keep his laugh to himself. She blew off each shopkeeper and moved right on, not caring in the least about how she addressed them. He started thinking that this wouldn't work. Perhaps asking the locals would yield better results...but he couldn't shake the sneaky suspicion that they needed to venture to the dangerous grounds below.

She suddenly came to an abrupt stop by a food stall. He looked at the food then to her and smiled to himself. "Would you...like a bite?" he asked her as he looked down at her. He pulled her along to the stall and bought themselves a meal each then led the way to a quiet spot by the railing. There he clipped his helmet to his belt and started eating. He glanced at her occasionally to see her reaction to the food she was drooling over.

@Raven_41

 

[Eithni Vala Stark]

Hearing Sumas actually offer made her nodded, looking like she was holding back a squeal of excitement. Eithni's eyes followed Sumas' hand give the credits to the man behind the food vendor. All the way to the little quiet spot had Eithni a very giddy smile as she eyed her food for a few seconds as she examined her meal before casting herself over the meat. The girl showed no kind of proper eating edicate as she ripped and tore at the juicy and deliciously tasty flesh of her meal. With both hands, she held the meat wing to her mouth and took a lot of large bits, before starting to actually chew.

She had her eyes closed for a few seconds, releasing a long and maybe a bit too sexualized moan to notice "nMmmm~ This is soo good!" expressed Eithni and turned to Sumas and saw him glance at her. Eithni just smiled overjoyed showing a tiny bit of her teeth. She looked a bit like a hamster with how big and round her cheeks looked with all the food in her mouth. "Thos os osmazing! Thonks!" Thanked the young witch Sumas, or at least tried, mumbling the words with difficulties. Nevertheless, she got through the sentence and returned to her meal and continue eating.

Hearing the background chatter of vendors trying to get people to visit their stall, while other vendors were in the middle of deals with costumers. For a bit it nothing really happened around Eithni and Sumas, an almost nice change of pace for these two beings. However, all that changed when a shouting broke out between a Twi'lek and a Human. "What do you mean you're not going to give me my order of Brylark?!" Yelled the Human now really annoyed. "Sorry friend, but I've found a much better buying" explained the Twi'lek and turned around and was about to leave with a large suitcase of some sort, most likely carrying Brylark. The human was not about to get cheated so he jumped the Twi'lek and one thing let to the next and they both tumbled to the ground.

"NO! MY BRYLARK!" Yelled both men as the suitcase slide off the platform and fell down towards the Shadowland. Eithni blinked as she saw the suitcase slide towards the edge, she looked at Sumas and if he looked back at her, he would see a very mischievous smirk. It was a smirk that meant, "I'm going to do something fun but dangerous right now" and before Sumas could stop her, dashed the Dathomirian girl at the edge of the platform.

She did a three-point-jump, first from the ground, then on to the Twi'lek's back and then upon the safety railing where she jumped off. Turning around in the air she looked at Sumas with the biggest and joyous smile he had even as she plummeted after the suitcase freefalling. The last thing Sumas heard was Eithni laughing heartfully and a long "weeeeeee!" yell from her.

Eithni saw the suitcase further down and formed herself into a spear shape to get the least wind resistance from falling. After a good ten minutes of just freefalling towards the Shadowlands, she reached out with her hand, getting so close to the suitcase, filled with Brylark. Within another couple of seconds, she finally got her fingers about the handle to the large suitcase and hugged it into her. "YES! GOT IT!" Cheered the young witch and did a little shake-your-hips-and-arms dance in the air, still freefalling. Eithni had maybe 5 or more minutes left before she would hit the forest ground and die if she didn't levitate.

Flaring up her magick, gathering the Ichor spirit around her, her eyes lit up like a green glowing star and gracefully, she landed safely on the forest ground. "THAT WAS SO MUCH FUN! I got to try that again!" Cried Eithni out as she jumped on the spot, unable to keep her overexcitement back. There was nothing better than to free fall through the air, or it was one of her favourite things to do and then save in just the right moment and land safely. Eithni was is such a cheery mood that she didn't even notice she was finally in the Shadowlands.

@KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas calmly ate his meal as he watched Eithni. He raised an eyebrow at her moan, looking around to see if anybody heard it. When she thanked him, he gave a smile. "Don't mention it." he quipped, taking another bite of his meal.

His gaze shifted when he heard some commotion off to the side. He leaned against the railing, watching the exchange. But when he realized what they were arguing over, his attention sparked. Though things quickly escalated when the one tackled the other and they fought over the briefcase. Next thing he knew, the case slid off the side of the platform. He looked over and watched it fall the distance. He glanced back to Eithni...but the look on her face made his heart sink. "Don't-!" he tried to stop her but she was over the edge in a second. He looked around then threw his meal over the side before slipping his helmet on and diving after her.

He flew down the side of the tree, his hands tucked against his sides to build up speed. As he flew he came up right next to the meal he threw over the side. He eyed it for a second before grabbing it and tucking it against his chest. In the distance he say Eithni use her magic to land without a scrath, with the suitcase in hand as well. When he got close, he activated his jetpack and used it to land next to her. "You're crazy, you know that?" he asked her with a hint of anger in his voice. He looked her over and gave a sigh of relief before holding the meal out to her. "Hungry?" he asked her.

He looked around. The air was dense and heavy. The sky was almost entirely blocked out by the massive trees and canopy. He shifted his gaze downward and looked over their surroundings. "I'm pretty sure this is the one place we shouldn't be at. Come on, let's look for a way back up." he said, motioning her to follow him.

@Raven_41

 

[Eithni Vala Stark]

As Sumas landed on the ground as well, was Eithni just grinning innocently sweet to him over his comment. "But it was so much fun! I just love free falling" explained the little witch, swaying a bit with her body before him. When Sumas offered his meal to her he could see her excitement almost came in phases. First, her eyes widened in followed by her grin turned into such a smile she might burst with happiness. Then her squealing came, a high girly squeal of overexcitement from been offered his meal and then finally when she took the wing meal, she looked at it as if Sumas just offered her, her own set of Mandalorian armour.

Eithni started to giggle as she held the meat wing in her hand and bounced a bit where she stood, before jump hugging Sumas to the ground. "Really?! Thank you! No one has ever offered me their meal before iiiiiiih YOU'RE THE BEST!" Squaled with such a joyous voice. "Oh!" Said Eithni suddenly and stopped hugging Sumas like he was the only person in the universe and got up again. She quickly went over to the suitcase and lifted it up and just handed it to Sumas, "here this is for you!" Said the witch with a large grin of gratefulness.

"I have no use for it" explained Eithni and placed it on the ground by Sumas if he didn't take the suitcase Eithni offered. Of course, Sumas could always return the suitcase to the man that lost it in the tumble with the other man.

Eithni showed pure happiness as she stood there and munched on the meat wing, being in her own little world. A faint roar sounded in the distance, followed by a couple of howlings in the opposite directions. Of course, none of the threating animalistic sounds was near where Sumas and Eithni was, but for how long?

Eithni would just follow Sumas if he decided to find a way up as she was focusing on her gifted glorious meal of tastefulness.

 

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas watched with a smile as Eithni went through the stages of happiness. He braced for a hug he saw coming a mile away. He laughed as she jumped him and returned the hug, careful to not squish her meal. Just like that she let go and handed him the briefcase. He took it from her as he smiled behind his helmet. "Thanks." he said cheerfully. He had a few plans over what to do with this.

Sumas pulled out his Personav and got a detailed picture of the area. "Well the good news is the pads are just up this tree..." he commented, pointing at the enormous tree in front of them. "Bad news is we have to climb it." he finished, putting his gadget away and pulling a pistol from his holster. The sounds around them was more than a little unsettling but at least it wasn't the worst situation he's been in. Iridonia wasn't exactly a walk in the park.

"Stick close. Let's not get lost down here." he said over his shoulder, making sure Eithni was still there. figuring she would wander off sooner or later, he fell back to make sure she was walking next to him. If he had a harness or leash he would have used that too. "Keep an eye out for any animals stalking us. I'll look for a way up." he instructed. As they walked, he lightly ushered Eithni in the right direction in case she forgot to look where she was going as she ate. She seemed heavily invested in that meal. He didn't bother to suppress the smile behind his helmet.

@Raven_41

 

[Eithni Vala Stark]

Sumas would soon learn the power of food when it came to Eithni as they started to wander back towards the tree that would lead them back up, he would see she would put all her focus on that bird wing. Like a compliant child, she just skipped after Sumas, completely lost in eating her new food gift from her new favourite person. "Hm? Where?!" Asked Eithni surprised but also kind of excited and looked around as if she had been taken by surprise with a large piece of meat hanging and dangling from her mouth. "This taste so good! Thank you, Sumas!" Thanked Eithni joyfully, giving him a big grin after swallowing the meat in her mouth.

They were pretty lucky, all things considered, as they walked through the feared Shadowland by the Wookies as they didn't really meet any predators at all. Instead, the only thing that jumped Sumas, was the energetic witch, who suddenly threw her arms around Sumas' shoulder and swung her legs around his hips. "Hi!" Greeted Eithni with a smile. "Whatcha gonna do with that wood-thingy, now that you got it?" Asked the Dathomirian girl curiously, looking down at the suitcase that Sumas held as he walked.

@KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

Sumas almost fell over when Eithni suddenly wrapped herself around him. He laughed as he adjusted to make sure he didn't fall over. He holstered his pistol and awkwardly held onto her to make sure she didn't slide off as she clung to him. "Yeah no problem." he said as she thanked him for the meal. For some reason he really didn't mind the girl clinging to him. Thankfully she didn't weigh all that much so giving her an awkward piggyback ride wasn't an issue.

She asked him what his plan was for the wood, making him glance down at the briefcase. "Decoration." he said simply. He gave one of the pistols on his hip a tap before looking at her again. "Been wanting to make my guns look pretty. Brylark wood is way at the top for that. Either that or some exotic type of bone." he explained to the girl as they made their way around the tree.

Finally after several minutes they reached an elevator and boarded it. The caged elevator started to ascend and Sumas looked at Eithni once again. "How's it hanging?" he quipped with a smirk. He put the briefcase down and decided to get her off him. "Mind letting go? My arm is kind of dying right now." he said as he tried to get her off him. It would take a while for the lift to get to the top...which left Sumas in an enclosed space with the hyperactive Nightsister. He wasn't sure how he felt about that.

@Raven_41

 

[Eithni Vala Stark]

"Uhhh, decoration?" repeated Eithni and looked down at the blasters that he tapped, "cool!" she replied with a grin. The two Wookie guards that stood by where the elevator was located looked at each other in quite a surprise when they saw Sumas and Eithni coming over to the elevator. While they didn't say anything, it was visible on their faces that they weren't expecting two strangers arrive unharmed from the Shadowlands, not to mention not take the elevator down.

"Hihi, it's the best, I could get used to getting carried!" expressed the girl happily while the elevator ascended towards the top. "Awh, but I'm comfy," replied the Nightsister and whimpered a bit, making her lower lip shake a bit, "oh~ alright," said Eithni and jumped off Sumas' back and landed gracefully on her feet. Sumas would very quickly realize that Eithni was a curious creature as she started to examine his armour and all the different kinds of buttons and what else interesting that she could touch and ultimate totally mess up.

"What's it like being a Mandalorian?" Asked the witch finally, looking up at Sumas, "I've seen your kind before, why do you all have different coloured metal on?" added Eithni to her first question, looking at Sumas expectedly for a reply and hopefully one that would fill her curiosity.

@KinkyPrawn

 

[Sumas Solus]

Finally Eithni got off him and stood next to him, still looking like she was ready to bounce up and down with some joy she got out of nowhere. He saw her inspect his armour and gear, ready to stop her from pressing any buttons or touching anything on his kit. Her next question was a surprise, though. At first he didn't answer her, since it wasn't an easy question at all. But her next one made it a lot easier. "Well the metal is our armour. It's part of the Mandalorian tradition. As for the colours, that's a way to express ourselves. To give us identity. Similar to how one would get a tattoo." he explained to her.

The way up would still take a while, so he decided to take his helmet off and clip it to his belt. "As for the horns...well, I think you can guess what that goes to." he said, nodding upwards to gesture to his own horns. He studied Eithni's curious eyes then looked her over. The rags she was wearing wasn't exactly something he found interesting. Why she chose to wear it, however, was a lot more interesting. "And you? What can you tell me about the Nightsisters? Are the clothes part of that? Or did you not get the chance to buy something else?" he asked her, giving a chuckle at the end with his little joke.

As the lift went higher and higher the view became more and more impressive. Soon enough Sumas was staring out over the landscape. "I pity the people that are afraid of heights if they take this lift." he commented as he glanced at Eithni with a smirk.
