Kyradia was laser focussed, the Milirian her friend were trying escaping from the temple but not for long, she was gaining on them fast. This problem should be solved before it begins, they were clearly up to something and she had to catch them then she could find out. As she turned the corner they had just left through the temple entrance, hmmm if she could just aim the saber right she could take them out, she had to stop for accuracy but as she tried to steady herself she felt a sharp pain in her leg making her stumble for a second. Suddenly the bright light from out was diminished and as she looked back up she saw a cluster of rocks now covering where the entrance had once been

"DAMN IT SITHSPIT" Kyradia shouted as she got into a stance to move the boulders. As she moved she felt her ankle keel over and next thing she knew her head hit the floor with a wack, her leg burned with pain suddenly where was it coming from? had they done something?

"Kyradia are you alright?" Ashara had been lagging behind a bit and was now running round the corner

Kyradia began to try and steady herself "yeah no I'm fine I jus-" as she began to stand she felt her leg go again, damn what was with her leg? "just need to move these rocks" Kyradia stumbled onto the ground as she began to try and move the rocks

Ashara rushed over to Kyradia's side "ok no you're injured you need a rest" Ashara was probably right but she couldn't let them get away

"no no it's alright just gim-" she began to try and stand again and had to grit her teeth to work through the pain her leg was wobbling but she was up "gimme a second, see fine good as new"

Ashara folded her arms and raised her eyebrow "uh uh no I can see your whole leg trembling you need to let me help you" ugh Kyradia knew she was right but the enemy were getting away who knows what they were up to

"but Ashara t-the bad guys… they're getting away" Ashara walked over and put her arm around Kyradia steadying Kyradia with herself

"no buts we're going back to the main room and you're resting" Kyradias screwed up her face, the bad guys could be doing anything right now why didn't she care

"really i'm fine I just need a minute then we can go back to the chase" Ashara gave her a glare

"alright then stand on your own" she suddenly let go of Kyradia and the pain quickly returned as her foot hit the floor, she began to stumble but felt a hand grab her arm as she began to fall

Ashara lifted her back up and Kyradia gave in "ugh fine we'll go to the main room but it just started hurting out of nowhere i'm sure it'll pass no biggy" she hoped it would pass

"uh huh the reason it just started because your adrenaline is wearing off, I hope you didn't do too much damage to it while in crazy fight mode" Ashara seemed tense, Kyradia kinda got it she did go into a bit of a frenzy when fighting but it usually worked out for her, except that one time with Arcann.

They arrived back in the chamber and Ashara laid Kyradia down against the wall. Ashara placed her hands on the injured leg "this may hurt a bit" she closed her eyes and began to apply pressure to the wound. As she did Kyradia felt like 1000 tiny needles were pressing into her leg, she gritted her teeth and thought of the things that made her angry to fight through the pain. Ok ok ok smiling, hugs uh uh, young sith lords who think they're hot shit, any of the 5 sith lords i've been in rivalries with, uh prophecies, Saresh, as she continued to think the pain began to pass as a warm feeling spread across her lower leg.

"alright awesome healed up and ready to go" Kyradia began to sit up but Ashara stopped her with her hand.

"woah woah woah I'm not even close to done, I was just making sure you couldn't feel it" damn it

Kyradia slumped back down "oh… okay sorry" Ashara narrowed her eyes at her

"even so you're gonna need at least an hour or two to heal it properly after this" oh god damn it, this never happened to her she could usually shrug off her injuries. "why are you so adamant we keep chasing them now, they're not anyone to us they're just two low tier sith. We can catch them after you've rested"

Kyradia didn't want to go into it right now "because, when we leave these escapees like this it always spirals into some big thing. I just wanted to have this one be open and shut so." That sufficed right?

Ashara didn't look pleased with that answer "Kyradia…" she sighed "please don't lie to me, if you're going to lie to me I don't know if I can do this" Kyradia was shocked, it wasn't technically a lie but it wasn't the whole truth, damn it she was right though.

Kyradia sighed one more reason for her to look like a jerk "alright… I'm sorry I wanted to catch them because I wanted to make things right"

Ashara looked confused "make things right with who?"

"you know I said I had a fight with a friend recently?" Ashara nodded "It was with Kavaraa, we got into a huge argument after I made a bad call and… we never finished the argument" Kyradia tried to read Ashara's face but she couldn't tell how she was reacting to any of this, why was she so hard to read. "I… said some regrettable things we both did, she went off in a huff and well then she disappeared… I haven't seen her since"

Ashara still looked confused "what was the argument about?"

oh god how to answer that "uhhhh… it was about a lot of things, we clashed a lot due to our different ideologies so a lot of it came out" Kyradia did feel good telling Ashara even if it was lacking some of the details.

"and what? you thought catching trespassers in her temple would make her forgive you" Ashara lifted her hands off Kyradias leg and moved up next to her "she'll forgive you if you say sorry" Kyradia frowned at that

"Ashara, I don't think I was in the wrong entirely, I mean I regret a lot of things I said and I was the catalyst but… I don't think it's a simple I'm sorry either way, we both said bad things" Ashara looked down for a second

"oh… I see" Kyradia put her hand on Ashara's shoulder

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you I just know you looked up to her and I didn't want to ruin that" Ashara rested her head on Kyradias shoulder

"it's fine Kyradia for what it's worth I think I'd side with you if it came to it" Kyradia was shocked Ashara would actually side with her over a jedi maybe she didn't look awful for all this honesty "I… I just don't want you to keep things from me" Kyradia looked at the floor solemnly

"yeah I'm sorry I"m uh I'm learning" Kyradia sat up she should change the subject

"hey how about I rest up here and you see if you can find out where these guys are going, I'll be right here healing I'll not move a muscle" Ashara chuckled to herself

"alright be on you guard just in case"…
