❝ No? I- I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have assumed anything... May I rephrase? ❞
There is treachery in the air, a heavy cloud of deception and betrayal. It clings to her like a veil, obscuring her soft, curious expressions and muffling her lies so that they almost sounded innocent. Even were this conversation happening elsewhere, away from a buzzing thoroughfare of sensory distortion, she would simply be just a touch beyond too well hidden. And for good reason, too.
The Parasite, like the Coruscanti Noble she was so casually impersonating, was simply fascinated by the notion of a Clone Army! Descending from the stars one day, uniform and unbeatable, carrying the Republic on their backs and leaving clankers in their wake... How exciting! How grand!
So grand, in fact, that even her masters, who'd 'already created the perfect clone long ago' found themselves on the back foot in a race they believed they'd been leading... But why?
Why were they worried about these clones? Why did their presence make hers seem so... frivolous? What did HE have that SHE didn't!?
Questions pressing enough to drag her far and away from the safety of her moons, deep into the heart of enemy territory, where only death & the truth awaited her.
❝ I suppose what I'm asking, @rexihka, is... what makes you tick? What is it about you, and yours, that makes this great conflict seem so... winnable, all of a sudden? ❞
