Obi Wan Kenobi: (eternal silent screaming)

♛ ┆ ❝ OUT OF ORDER. whatever i'm making an american horror story 'verse. i just gotta decide which one i wanna write in. i'm between the original and coven. (will probably go with coven)

       ❝ then you will learn, ❞ the statement is terse in that there is no suggestive nature behind it. it is a command. the former half of an ultimatum with the latter understood. reaching up, she draws a hand softly down the curve of his face, not breaking eye contact. ❝ you are many things: strapping. focused. sharp. but we both know that without me... all of that is without use, ❞ a bitter grin threads her lips punctuating such a vain reminder. she has no plan in place for maul, if he is going to learn to let go then all paths are his to choose. all consequences his to discover.

       ❝ likewise, of course. ❞ there is a slight shift in her posture, a nervous type of fidgeting sincere in only that it is caused in part by her wanting to kill him herself. but she can't. the plan that t'aav has up her sleeve is long, thought out. she will not allow her own selfish desire or whim to set it off track. ❝ i don't know if you'd let me.. but i would love to have you for dinner. as a thank you? ❞ for some bullshit sob story she would be forced to conjure.

       a sharp grin is brought to her lips by the curt manner in which she is being spoken to. there is no reason for her to masquerade any longer. the young man is firm in his belief and he is not wrong in any accusations but the one. ❝ you are almost entirely correct. the empire will not rule over the rebel alliance... we will D E S T R O Y the rebel alliance and leave you and your friends bleeding out and cowering in the rubble. i am here to give you a chance to be SAVED. ❞

♛ ┆ ❝ OUT OF ORDER. like if i owe you!!

       she scoffs almost immediately. ❝ everyone needs friends...whether we know it or not. ❞ the woman does her best to speak gently and understandingly without coming off as condescending as she most naturally does. the other seems smart, observant. snatching her up will be no easy task.  

       at the question she smiles wide as if she is flattered that he would be interested in knowing her name. acknowledging her presence. they make eye contact for less than a second before the woman focuses elsewhere. seeing his face, being only an arm's length away makes t'aav's skin hot and irritated. but she can do nothing to him. not yet. ❝ aleph, ❞ she answers in a voice even softer than before. ❝ i'm sorry it was rude of me not to introduce myself in the first place. ❞
