Saleairy went with Mission to talk with Griff, Dustil at their heels. Dustil seemed calm but Saleairy wondered how calm he could really be when he'd been through so much. She didn't understand how he could be so open and willing to learn. She was thankful for it but still confused.
"Hey Mission." Griff said, rubbing his neck and glancing at Daniel who had obviously kept him at their meeting place.
"I don't even know why they sent for you. You're never going to change. I can predict the first question out of your mouth." Mission said, glaring.
"Then I won't ask it. I'm sorry sis, I just can't help these things." Daniel's supercilious smirk turned to a scornful look and Saleairy sighed.
"Now you can. The Jedi have offered you a job here." Daniel said.
"Yeah sis. You heard him. I'll get a real job here and work my hardest, just for you." Griff said.
"We'll see." Saleairy took the cue and left the siblings to settle things. Daniel followed her out. She turned to speak to him and started, seeing a strange vision. Daniel's face close to hers, a dangerous snarl spread to his lips, his voice hissing close to her ears. She shook the vision off and watched the Shifter.
"Are you aware that Vrook wishes to send you on another mission?" Daniel said, blinking at the Jedi. Daniel was Vrook's personal assistant when he wasn't occupied with more important issues. Vrook rarely accepted that excuse anyway.
"I could've guessed." Saleairy said.
"Aren't you curious as to what it is?" Daniel asked.
"How would you know?" Saleairy asked.
"I am the Council's last and most reliable messenger. I get things done and I know how to get things done." Daniel flickered his eyelashes at Saleairy.
"What is this mission?" Saleairy asked.
"Has it invoked your keen sense of adventure?" Daniel asked.
"Not really." Saleairy said.
"That's because you know you'll have to leave your companions behind. What a shame that would be. A pilot, a would be apprentice, a failing mission to save the galaxy-"
"I was under the impression Jedi weren't supposed to be so pessimistic." Saleairy said.
"The point is that if you accept the mission, you'll be fighting something that matters." Daniel said. "In company that can truly help you." Daniel narrowed his pitch eyes and Saleairy realized he was very close to her.
"What mission are you talking about?" Saleairy asked.
"There are four planets you have seen on once from light years away that hold the key to every aspect of you and the galaxy you can manipulate. It's only a matter of finding them and conquering them. The true danger of the Sith that you discovered as Revan and will remember soon. Then you will beg to go with the company that can aid you." Daniel said, looking down into her eyes. She disliked how he said "beg" and the implication that she would would be begging for more than aid.
"And the company that can aid me?" Saleairy asked.
"I will be the only one allowed to come with you after a certain point." Daniel said.
"Why?"
"To ensure security." Daniel said.
"For me or the galaxy?" Saleairy asked.
"I don't need to watch you." Daniel said, blinking as his inky powers brushed Saleairy. She drew away and turned her back to him.
"Perhaps you should take that to heart then, Shifter."
