"Not so much a soul as most religions describe it. a very similar concept. When we die, we return to the Force. Some users if powerful or trained enough can retain consciousness when they do so. How this is done is beyond me. I have just heard it can be done."

That fits. I feel like he's been pretty open and honest in general. And while there've been comments that he'd be physically protective, I'm not sure I get the vibe that information or knowledge are things he thinks people need to be protected from, in general, even if he weren't aiming at being op...

As that epilogue rolls along... so disturbing and awesome. I have to ask how much he'll tell Dhel when she asks how it went? I realize you probably want to let it conclude before answering that, but didn't want to forget to ask. (there's a lot of overtime right now, so my brain is a bit Swiss chees...

Deonis raised an eyebrow at Sol's secret keeping but does not push the issue "I do not grapple with the darkness. It comes naturally. I grapple with the light. You seem an alright sort. I think you'll be fine as long as you keep doing what you think is right. Trust the people you put around you to k...

The reassuring weight and warmth of Dhel on him mixed with the exhaustion from the past few days and the comfort of their quiet discussion meant he needed little more convincing. Soon hos breath came deep and regular as he drifted off to sleep.

/Fade to sleep

/scene!

(Thank you so much!)

"Our..?" It made a certain sense with how ancient she was. There was a moments hesitation, a questioning of the wisdom in his next action. He took a breath, she was right. He had come all this way, she had exactly what he was looking for. He stood to his full height and clipped the lightsaber back t...

He gently squeezed her hand "could get used to this." His voice rumbled out slightly sleepily the cuddles and massaging having their effect as he relaxes into her.

Deonis paused "I, there is much I wish to know. About my people, about what I am. Our history, my connection to the Force. I did not have a specific question. Just a drive to learn. To know where I come from."

"I do not find a lightsaber to be a toy or the Force a party trick." he responded simply, there was no chiding in his tone nor reproach he was simply stating an opinion he had "I have heard of those able to use the force to protect themselves. A unique and powerful ability. If you have taught yourse...

"That is good. Solitude makes it worse." He grimaced a little but regarded Solork when he asked his second question "There is another. Newly discovered in her abilities. Requires guidance. I am not a teacher. But I have studied the force for a decade. I can help in some ways. But I am still learning...

"My intentions regarding you are based on your intentions. I've felt you. You've been in my head. I know the malice and hate that swirl inside you. Your presence helped sicken a planet." He took a deep breath "I am sure I would like the knowledge you possess. But indont know if I could ever trust yo...

Nuzzled against his back she likely can hear the beating of his heart if only just. "Everything happens for a reason. You haven't had an easy life either. But it's led you here. It's made you who you are. Shitty things happen. Horrible situations happen. It's up to us to do the best with it." He sai...

"As I said. I came for answers." He looked at her flatly. The talk of the holocron was intriguing but if it was something she wanted there was likely nothing he could do to stop it. "It seems the Force has decided our fates to intertwine."

Deonis put a comforting hand on her shoulder "do not worry Dhel. The force can allow you to see into another's mind. If it's an ability you wish to cultivate. You likely are getting them from me because we...share a bond." They had been training, among other things, for some time now. "It is easier ...

Deonis put a hand up "Was just curious. Not trying to say there need to be. Honestly not sure where I would fit in on a ship with roles like that. Unless you need big stuff moved around. Or someone punched in the face."

He frowns to the dead inquisitor. Shame. And returns his attention to her "Merely seeking the truth of things. Didn't mean to be irksome." His tone wasn't overflowing with remorse.

"So what is in that holocron?" He asks returning to his initial point.

"I thought you were a font of ancient knowledge?" he asked with a raise of an eyebrow ridge "What use do you have for stored knowledge from your time?" he said remembering some of what Tyllia told him of the spirit and how old and ancient it was "Or are you looking to remember things you forgot duri...

"This is the home of my people is it not?" he asked stepping toward her "I came here to learn about them. To see where I came from. For answers." he said feeling it easier to explain himself than to argue with her about it "Now what of you? What is that." he nodded toward the thing that emerged from...

he shivered a little at her kiss then a little sigh as she attacked the stronger points of muscle stress "Most likely." he just relaxed into the feeling of her hands on him for awhile "its something I've thought about. I would have been raised in a cult. Learned much about the Force their way. Drive...
