Dashthea chuckled softly to herself, giving her head a slight shake in Bok's direction. Truth be told, she wasn't sure if she would rather see Sikka's mouth run off with her straight into a tangle with a Jedi, or watch her suffer through an exercise in restraint. Whether she succeeded in maintaining her professionalism or failed and paid for it, this mission was going to be good for her.
Schooling her expression, she strode confidently after Rhett up into the ship. Keeping all comments to herself, she allowed an appreciative eye to wander over the hangar - and to take stock of the equipment lying about. I can think of a few uses for a mini fleet like this.... The ship was old and a little dusty looking, but it seemed remarkably well manned all the same. I hope they did a thorough mechanical analysis, though. I'd hate to be blown to oblivion because some buckethead didn't do his job right.
Still casually inspecting the hangar, Thea allowed herself to drift back behind the others a bit, now and then finding something interesting to look at that was behind them. Even if the Jedi had a solid reputation for being the 'good guys,' cautious habits were never worth overlooking in unfamiliar places. And besides, lots of people were incredibly good at seeming good when they were anything but.

[fieldbox="Arvana Tarron, darkred, solid"]Arvana kept an eye on Kuno as he laid into the bottle she'd brought him and the droid went about its work. She frowned at the heap of metal her Master was talking about, gauging its parts and coming to the conclusion that Kuno was right; it didn't look like any kind of standard droid she had ever seen before, now that he mentioned it. She wasn't expert enough to determine anything more useful, however.
Turning her attention back to Kuno, Arvana smirked and uttered a short dry laugh. "There are a lot of things you've done - and do - that I know better than to imitate, Master," she said, enjoying the opportunity to tease him.
She stood with him, attentive if he needed support, although her concern seemed unwarranted. She wasn't expecting the monologue he launched into just then, but it brought a passing smile across her face. Anytime is time to learn.
She nodded her head slowly as he finished. "That is strange. I can imagine it's useful in a pinch, though. How hard is it to learn?" Arvana had heard a bit about Force healing before, and now and then she had seen Kuno use it a tiny bit. But if he was bringing it up in more detail now when he had never volunteered the lesson before, she was eager to learn as much about it as she could.
Impressed by the disappearance of the wounds, it was hard to believe what Kuno had just said a moment ago about it all being a facade. I'll have to keep an eye on him and make sure that he's not going to do something dumb, such as pretending he's alright. She strode quickly to keep pace with him, light steps maintaining her position at his side with ease.

Arvana halted and turned midstep as Kuno stopped at the door to the common room, curiosity prompting her to peer around him at what had caught his attention. Her face darkened into a frown, and she glanced once between him and the young woman with the collar before settling into a calculating stare at the woman. Her hand slowly wrapped around her lightsaber.
Sometimes, she had found herself in firm disagreement with her Master - and this happened to be one of those times. What was he thinking, bringing a Sith Apprentice aboard the Sojourn? Did Master Ken know about this? And more importantly - did he approve?
The image of Kuno standing disheveled and droopy with a bottle in his hand didn't bolster her approval of his casual treatment in the matter, or raise her confidence in his ability to make wise decisions presently. She nudged his ribs with her elbow, and shot him a knowing look before fixing her glare on the Sith Apprentice once again.
Once she had an opening to interject, her tone was sharp. She ignored the introduction and moved straight to the most pressing concern she had with this. "Yes, and it's been dealt with" she jumped in to answer Erisi's question, her tone perhaps a bit too sharp to be considered polite. "Droids aside, Master.... I really don't think it's wise to leave Sith 'converts' wandering freely about our ship?"
She realized after she said it what her Master must be thinking - and she felt instant regret for the harshness of her insinuation. As a reformed Sith himself of course, Kuno would have faith in this girl. But wouldn't that make him all the more susceptible to deception? We can't just trust her because it worked out with him....[/fieldbox]
