Nicolae stood on the balcony outside his chambers in Kaas City, staring idly out at the slate grey sky. Every now and then, lightning would spiderweb across the sky, but at least there was no wind or rain to lash his face. He paid mild attention to the skylanes. Traffic whizzing in and out of the city, one lane to the Citadel, the other to the spaceport some ways outside of town. He was expecting a guest, but his mind was less focused on their arrival and more on what would happen after.
His understanding was that he was to take a student. An acolyte. But this acolyte was not like the spunky recruits plucked from one of the Sith academies, nor was this an apprentice he had necessarily chosen himself. This student was from outside the Sith Order, which meant he needed to be very careful. Others might not be welcome to the idea of him training an outsider; but every Sith needed their contacts outside the Order, and Nicolae had his own way of collecting those.
His musings were put on pause when he spotted a hovercab arcing out of its usual skylane and veering down towards the landing pad outside his chambers. This must be her.. His mind yawned across the distance, stretching the Force like a lazy cat until he could feel the mind within the cab. The power of the Force thrummed there, but he could glean little else. No premonitions, no hidden potential. But that wasn't necessarily a bad thing. Not everyone had some grand destiny.
Nicolae waited for the cab to set down, then he put on his best muted smile and offered a curt nod to the girl who stepped out of it. "Welcome. I believe introductions are in order." @Melancholia
