"This is getting rediculous, TK," Aasha sighed. "I mean, why do I keep going to meet him?"

Aasha sat on her bed plaiting and re-plaiting her hair unable to sleep after yet another meeting with Seth.

It had been almost a month now and her unexplained tiredness and midnight wanderings and disappearences were beginning to raise some eyebrows.

TK whirred.

"Absolutely not!" She scoffed, abanding her plait to cross her arms.

TK made a sound like a sigh before beeping.

"No! No I do not!" Aasha blew the plait out of her face, which backfired as it fell back into place, whacking her on the nose.

TK made a laugh-like sound before beeping again.

"No way, I do not like him. I guess I'm just... bored? No! I know it now! Its because I'm trying to get close to him and get information on the Dark Order! Yes, thats it." Aasha smiled proudly.

Aasha didn't feel any attachment to the blond at all.

But she still didn't hesitate to join her master on their new mission after he was spotted nearby.

Aasha and Souva carefully pried rocks off the ground using the force.

A small planet had recently  been caught between a space battle between both the Jedi and Dark Order, and another battle between two opposing crime syndicates. The debris had caused mountains of damage to the people.

"I'm glad you decided to join me," Souva remarked. "You rarely voulenteer for any of this slow-paced work."

"Well, I decided Ineeded a bit of a break from all the action."

Yes that is the only reason, nothing else whatsoever, she thought to herself.

"You're improving, my young padawan. I'm proud."

"Thank you, master."

The pair worked long into the afternoon. Night was beginning to fall and there was still work to do so the two jedi decided to stay the night.

Aasha waited up that night until her master was asleep before taking a walk in the forest.

Aasha had contacted Seth to tell him where she would be and the two had made plans to meet up.

"Took you long enough. Thought you'd decided to ditch me."

Aasha looked up to see the blond sitting in a tree.

"I underestimated how long it takes my master to fall asleep," Aasha shot back as he jumped from the tree.

"So how have you been?" Seth asked.

"Not bad. Although I have a feeling Nahlar might be getting a little suspicious of my constant sneeking out."

"Well then we'll need to be more careful."

"Yes. Although I doubt I'll be able to hide from her lie detecting for much longer. Not sure how much longer I can bend the truth! And how much longer she'll believe it!"

Seth whistled.

"Well anyway, I thought we'd do something different tonight," Seth smiled.

"Different how?" Aasha was intrigued.  Somehow she seemed to forget this man was a Sith Lord.

"Instead of sitting around and talking, how about we get some food and talk?"

"Ooh, sounds fancy!" Aasha marvelled, which was accompanied by an apreciative grumble from her stomach.

"Well then, lets go!"
