Trace could sense the waves of negative emotions coming from Ailis and directed at her. It was disappointing in a way, but it wasn't too shocking. They were born on opposite sides of the upper layer and that put them at odds without so much as a chance.
She didn't really respond as Ailis said it must have been nice, more resentment than she probably intended leaking into her voice. Trace didn't bite the bait, however, and it seemed Ailis snapped out of it moments later.
See, now you're giving me mixed messages. First it's terrible, now it's nice, she said, cracking a grin and hoping to lighten the situation. And maybe draw attention away from this awkward situation.
Yeah, I've done some traveling along the Hydian Way with my parents, but not much. I've done way more in the last year or two as an Acolyte than I ever did before the Academy, she said. Most Sith had to get used to traveling these days. The Empire required them everywhere and they were in short supply.
Coruscant is a long way from the Empire, how'd you end up in the employ of the Sith? she asked. I'd have thought Jedi were more likely to find you that deep in the Core.
