Author's note: Sorry, it's a bit short, but it seemed like a good stopping point. And I won't torture you with a cliff hanger, the next chapter is right there. I'm such a soft hearted author sometimes...
"What brings you here? I was mediating." Vrook snapped. Daniel may have been his personal assistant but his taciturn personality (making Bastila seem quite amiable) didn't spare the Shifter. Daniel ignored the obvious irritation.
"I wish to speak to you about Revan's mission."
"What about it?" Vrook said.
"I think we should make her go soon." Daniel said.
"Why?"
"She will soon become too involved with Onasi and her would be pupil. It will be harder for her if we wait." Daniel said.
"It will be hard no matter what and there is no making Revan go anyway, even if you are one of her cast aside experiments." Vrook said.
"I thought you were going to refrain from that reference Vrook?" Daniel said, narrowing his eyes.
"And I thought you learned how to address Masters. Do not make me report such disrespect to the Council when you are in such a precarious state in the Order already." Vrook said.
"I tire of your threats. If you have an earnest complaint, you are welcome to make it and see who they would choose." Daniel hissed.
"How would they choose when you are everyone and no one at the same time, Shifter?" Vrook asked.
"Don't bait me or you will find yourself in a very precarious situation." Daniel said.
"Are you threatening me, Shifter?" Vrook asked, standing.
"The Council knows our relationship Vrook, if you do anything resembling aggression I will be reassigned in a heart beat without a reprimand. You are the Master, you are at fault for leading a student astray." Vrook ignited his lightsaber. Daniel drew his own sabers, the blue and red blades buzzing.
"Whether you have fallen or not, you are not worthy of the lightsabers you bear."
"Will you end my life to prove a point, Vrook?" Daniel asked.
"I will." Vrook leapt at Daniel and their blades clashed, their faces inches behind their respective blades.
"Your situation with the Order will be precarious if you harm me." Daniel said, smiling.
"My situation has always been precarious because of students like you."
"I'll inform Revan of your sentiments when we depart."
