This is boring Ahsoka concluded.
She was in between the pair of Rhom, who whilst old could still take her down easily Ahsoka thought, and Kaylin who for some reason acted like the two girls were best friends rather than grave enemies, her smile wide on her face as she explained what these rooms uses were. The two of them were escorting her through the entire Villa of Shay's estate, though Kaylin would sooner reply that she was merely a tour guide and was showing Ahsoka what her new home would look like the Togruta imagined; and were showing her around what would be the meditation rooms if she had to guess.
You'd think that the leader of a tyrannical Empire would be more... exciting in his sense of taste Ahsoka thought.
"Bland isn't it." Kaylin asked, turning herself towards Ahsoka who barely heard the assassin, the Padawan having been buried deep in her thoughts.
"Umm... well..." Ahsoka started, not sure as to what to say in front of her captors.
Does she want me to agree with her or to actually be honest?
Before she could think up an answer, Rhom suddenly and forcefully grabs her shoulder and drags her to a more closed off room to the side, it having no windows meaning that shadows nearly covered the entirety of the room; pushing her forward and causing her to fall to the ground.
"You have no idea the amount of trouble your presence here truly is." Kaylin says with a more serious tone, her smile gone as she closes the door behind her; leaving the three of them in the dark abyss of the closet.
"What's that supposed to mean? If I'm such a trouble to you, why am I here?" Ahsoka responded in defiance, wary of doing anything too aggressive unless Rhom decides to step in.
A short, mocking laugh calls out before Kaylin responds "You are here because my master and father saved you from certain death Ahsoka don't forget that." A short breath through her nose and her body loosens up from the previous moment's intensity, but only by a small margin. "Your presence here has caused a divide between the members of the military and members of Dal'Ka. Some see you as the harbinger of a new war and therefore must... extract information from you before beginning a new campaign against your Republic."
"A new war? What was the first one?" Ahsoka asks, a sense of worry creeping up her spine.
"Never mind what the old war was, focus on the potential torture and death that may await you." Kaylin responds back with some urgency.
"Then what's going to happen? What are Shay's thoughts on this?"
"My father and I agree that we don't want another war. Not again, not so soon. It helps your case that he senses that the reason you came here is not what it may seem. That and your heritage." Kaylin remarks.
"What do you mean my heritage? What are you saying?" Ahsoka started to say, her voice rising in tension and unease.
Heritage! What heritage? And if they can't seem to stay on check with their own people, then I'm not as safe as they claim to be the case.
"That doesn't matter right now. All that matters is that we're on the same page. Are we, Ahsoka? Do you trust that I, my father and everyone here is here to help you, and only you but we also need to make sure that we can trust you."
"Do I have a choice?" Ahsoka remarks wearily.
"Not really but it will sure help." Kaylin replies, a small smile on her face again as she starts to pull Ahsoka back onto her feet. "Sorry about Rhom, he was just making sure we were not in the open; prying ears are everywhere."
"It's forgiven." Ahsoka states after briefly patting herself down, nodding to Rhom in recognition, the silent warrior responding with a nod of his own.
"Right, shall we continue the tour?"

"Who are the members of Dal'Ka?" Ahsoka asks, curiosity peaking after they just entered one of the corridors that left the ball room that they were just in.
"We follow the faith of our saviour and protector Dal'Ka, otherwise known as Dal'Ka the first, whom sent us here on his chosen crusade. It is his teaching about the ways of the force and how we must use it that defines us as one of the Dal'Ka's chosen, the chosen being those who are gifted with force sensitivity." Kaylin responds a hint of enthusiasm clear in voice as she notes the curiosity of her younger patron.
Before she could respond, Rhom who was about to go round a sharp corner to the left, quickly raises his hand to stop us in our tracks.
"What is it?" Ahsoka asks, noting the slight unease in Rhom's face, something that made her all the more worried.
Peeking around the corner, Kaylin gives what is obviously a cussing word in her language before turning back to them.
"Rhom get her out of here."
"What is it?" Ahsoka replied in a more annoyed tone.
"It's Krava Drayson, our spymaster. The one person you should hope to never be alone in a room with." Kaylin states drearily, looking back to find the contingent of spymaster and her personal bodyguards moving steadily at a determined pace; her reasons for coming here all the more obvious.
"Go. Now." Kaylin states, pushing them back the way they came, Rhom pushing Ahsoka ahead of him as Kaylin stands out in the open, distracting the spymaster.
"And why do I owe the pleasure of your presence Krava?" Kaylin called out, her smile and pleasant tone nearly unbearably obvious that she in fact hated the woman's guts.
"Where is she Kaylin? Tell me now!" Krava commands as she heads at an even faster walk, her strides carrying her directly in front of Kaylin.
"Whoever could you mean?"
"The Jedi cur of course, don't play games with me Kaylin, I have the Dal'Kaveen's personal permission that I ask her some questions." Krava stated with impatience, her good looks vanishing behind her anger.
"Funny. Shay never told me of this arrangement." Kaylin remarks with stone coldness, her smile now gone.
"Of course he wouldn't Kaylin, you're not his daughter, remember." Krava fires back before pushing Kaylin out of her way, her men following her with dead cold precision.

Following Rhom, who was walking at a furious rate, Ahsoka could only wonder where she was going.
Her answer was soon answered when a small door appeared, Rhom striding towards it with even more determination.
"Where does that lead? Rhom, where?" Ahsoka asked, receiving no response from her older escort as he pulled open the door to reveal the near dark sky, a servant frightened at the complete unexpectedness of what was transpiring.
A servant's entrance.
The servant rushing past, Rhom pushes Ahsoka out of the door, the Padawan confused at what he was thinking.
Seeing him stay inside the doorway she asks. "Aren't you coming with me, make sure I don't escape?" She is surprised by the man's shake of the head, who decided to turn back to see approaching guardsmen who were shouting for them to stop.
Turning back to face her, he utters a single word and the first one she had ever heard from him, his old yet strong deep voice confirming what he wanted her to do before he closed the door firmly shut; her last gaze of him turning back to face the guardsmen.
"Run."
