tapered fingers skimmed over the questis’ screen, vast paragraphs of information scrolling past at a steady rate. contrary to his typically exact posture, the student’s back curved over the table’s edge, crimson gaze scanning the tretis laid upon the surface as cheek rested upon a fist. as casual a posture as cadet mitth’raw’nuru could ever be discovered in, utterly absorbed as he was, seemingly ignorant of the space about him.
including the woman across the table.
hardly. while his attention appeared adhered to his studies, when time permitted, he observed, flickering from the shift in her expressions to the silent slip of other cadets and professors past their tables, the movement of silent lips but spoke too low to be heard by any both those beside them. it was an eccentricity of the pale, soft wood chosen for the furniture and storage of the library, permitting quiet speech to be audible within a short distance only to be dampened completely once a wave met an object. it was yet another distinction between the academies upon rentor and naporar, the latter’s funding providing many an element to consider.
scrolling paused as his eyes lit upon a particular line, creases forming betwixt brows. ❝ cadet irizi’ar’alani, ❞ soft tones emphasizing her family name, gaze still lowered to the questis, ❝ this text mentions a family tradition in a rather peculiar context, one i am not certain is properly cited. if you have a moment, could you clarify? ❞

bright crimson gaze rose to meet her own, a subtle furrow still lacing his brows as he pivoted the questis about to face the senior cadet, glass and metal slipping easily against each other with a gentle push. there was something akin to mischief in the other woman’s gaze. perhaps nothing, but perhaps a hint of her response to come. a slender finger pointed at the passage in question upon the screen. ❝ do the irizi celebrate harvest moons, and in such a manner? or is this merely a fiction? ❞ such were too easy to imbed between several facts, and the truth equally so to lose as time wore on. it was an older text, one unembellished by the footnotes natural to later editions if such were required. never did this one receive any, not that he could discover, a large file entirely upon the publicly known traditions of not only each of the nine ruling families, but the rest besides.
focus skittered across her features, merely remaining on each for a heartbeat, cataloguing her reactions almost unconsciously before returning, undaunted to her eyes. though the conflict and jealousies which beset the families of the chiss ascendency were nothing but a harmful drag upon the power they wielded. a weakness for enemies within and without to exploit. and so, there was numerous reasons for him to study each, both in the written word, observation, and in their art. then, he could understand each, their motivations, strengths, and weaknesses best to bolster and protect the chiss.
as he swore.
❝ the text has a pattern to it. the author signals, subtly, where and when she doubts her own words but must not have enough evidence to prove it, possibly purposeful, but perhaps not. it is present here. ❞ naturally, it could be nothing but a misdirection by the family, set in places an eon before. if that were the case, she would hardly tell him, would she?

ʜᴇʀ ᴜɴʟɪᴋᴇʟʏ ғʀɪᴇɴᴅsʜɪᴘ ᴡɪᴛʜ ᴍᴀᴛᴛʜ·ʀᴀᴡ·ɴᴜʀᴜ was something ziara is undoubtedly still getting used to. or perhaps she's placing to much on his postured shoulders. for friendship itself was a newfound addition to her collection of burners, in which all four were previously occupied with the pursuance of her military career. four years at the academy resulting in her senior cadet rank, did not occur without strict dedication. & with thrawn under her tutelage [...] she had expected that was all that the relationship would heed. still hard pressed to understand what had possessed her to defend him as she had. however now she is spending more & more time with him. though there is early admiration that settles between the two, at least on her own part.
even now she finds herself looking up at thrawn more often than she would like. leaning back in her chair, legs crossed. questis in her own hand not moving nearly as fast as her counterpart at the moment. notable, the way in which thrawn was absorbed. not lost upon her. foot swaying with soft bounces. looking at him with a tight mouth & narrowed eyes.
at this time, ziara is thankful for his apparent ignorance. even if she's having trouble not feeling watched.
it's clear the two of them were of similar minds despite. she has had the luxury of having his tactics proven, after all. perhaps that is what has prompted the slight irritation in regards to the space he now occupies in her mind. [...] & in her life. the two of their instincts largely coming into play with their tactical prowess.
red orbs curve upward to regard, before head follows suit. sharp in cheekbone & jawline, with a rounded chin. retaining femininity despite sharpness as poignant as her personality. especially these days. eyebrows softly emoting in question, she places her questis down as her back leans forth -- opposite hand extended. "of course, cadet mitth'raw'nuru." [...] she curls a finger. brow lifting in a tiny, ghost of a smirk. unable to help mirroring his emphasis. "to which family tradition are you referring?" of course she must know, & see said context to weigh her opinion. her opposite brilliantly colored fingers placed patiently on the table. 'twas her job to assist him, after all.
