It was clear they were arguing, and Della's words went largely ignored if only because he already knew what she was saying. Call it 'male intuition' or 'carelessness,' but her words were as natural to him as Revitalize. Her emotions still pulsed through the room unhindered, though they were quite separate of the Force which would allow this to happen. He only opened his eyes when Della shouted an outburst he couldn't understand. His own name in Saculean speech was largely unrecognizable and he couldn't tell they were speaking of him at the moment. Still, he touched her gently to indicate that she should be calm, though she knew this already. Of course they'd be suspicious, or at least one of them. Such was the way of a human, regardless of where they they were born and unto whom.
The sound of his name in the foreign tongue easily caught his attention the fifth time, however. The woman started listing off names, apparently those within the room. His eyes kept on he woman, glancing shortly to those she gestured to. He hardly bowed his head in a sense of respect, though it was clear the current situation was far outside his comfort. Still, his ability to keep solid and sound was impressive. The woman's words were like water along the harsh sounds of Della's native tongue. It was almost a different language coming from this woman and he could understand her much deeper than the words she spoke after this initial introduction. He was pleased someone felt obliged to introduce him to those who showed courtesy to his presence which was probably more than intimidating if only because he was strange and unknown to them.
More strange language was exchanged until the man, Della's father, Johnathan, gestured for him to follow. Della's idea of trapping him within this house was instantly foolish in his mind. Still, he listened and looked. The doors were large and heavy, made of metal. The other holes out of the morgue weren't easily discernible. Still, the sight within the dark room was mortifying. Sebastian remained stiff and emotionless, but understood that this was at the hand of the Sith. There may have only been a few. Still, these were current bodies and he could only imagine how many more there were piled into the ground, or how much ash was actually of human remains, or wherever the bodies were currently located as he knew not of the customs of treating the dead. Regardless, the talk of trapping, subduing, and even killing a single Sith was hopeless and could even be amusing to some.
He touched her shoulder once more as she confessed her concern for the threat they were to encounter soon enough. This admission of deep emotion was coupled by a sharp tug at his mind. The Force whispered to him of a Sith nearby, preparing for an attack, meditating on how to kill, or whatever it was doing within the night. It was quite far away, but large. This was quickly expelled from his mind and turned to his Apprentice. Now the rolls fell into a proper conduct between the two. The Light flickered from him and into her if only to show how powerful she was and how resilient her mind was and that such a concern was absurd, if not for him, but for her alone.
"I don't feel this house is enough to contain a Sith. We'll have to do more than contain him in that room. There's no doubt he'll quickly become violent when he learns of your plans and crumble this building. Instead of attempting such a feeble tactic, perhaps it's best to perform some guerrilla tactics upon their troops. With the two of us, we'd be more than enough for a single Sith." He paused. Perhaps he wished to keep her childhood home in tact as an act of sentiment. But something familiar had neared. "We have numbers they have no chance of defending against," he uttered quietly, more quietly than before. Their personal dialogue may have been suspicious, but it'd bring hope to them as soon as she learned who was now among them. It mattered little if they'd be welcomed or not. They'd do their duty in spite of the encouragement of these few people. The actions of the Jedi would be more than enough to sway their hearts.
