It’s hardly difficult to read others. So expressive are all species, something which resided in their shared genetic code. Disdain and anger being one of the most easy to represent. The tiniest shift in tone, the clacking of teeth, the hooding of lids, perhaps even a twitch. And of course your own species was the easiest, expression perhaps the best known of them all. There was no room for smiles and laughter in their line of work of course.
And he knew what it felt like to be punished, surely Snoke wished to convey a message to him by stationing this one on his ship, a less direct method than his usual methods of punishment. Inadvertently the man rotates his neck as if to diffuse a creak caught along his spine. Power was so easily abused, beings lacking in such were classified as lesser than the owner of this power, made it easy to hurt and abuse.
To share in his responsibilities was hardly the current status quo, or something he would not see this situation. The Knights were a pack of feral dogs, one he had been given to keep at heel for the time being. “I will hope you honor your word, I will not be accompanying you on planet, but you will not disconnect our line of communication do you understand? Nor should you act of your own accord.”
A scoff, the hint of a smile, perhaps the gesture of rolled shoulders and confidence is cast towards the young woman, a taunt. “I will allow you five troopers, but you need Vostao’s elder to agree to our terms, all recorded in their vile tongue on this datapad.” Handed over to her at great arms reach, the farther away physically from her kind, the better.
shit. ❛ what. ❜ arms are outstretched to receive what is offered but grip is lost as the weight of the thin metal sheet drops to the floor without any proper support. justifiably startled, the knight stumbles forward and quickly picks the data pad up to scroll through the unrecognizable script. she swallows, chest heaving nervously as all sense of security and interest diminishes under a veil of paranoia. ❛ you’re not coming with me... ❜ hearing herself say the unfortunate makes current conditions worse. and she finally breaks character.
boots swivelling to march in the opposite direction, a fist knocking at the side of her cranium as the other is accompanied by the cold surface of the data pad. head tilted down in a silent scream. there’s blood in her mouth from biting her tongue. now she understood. now she understood why she had a notion that a certain hooded bastard had a smug grin on his face under an expressionless mask as she boarded the general’s ship. why she heard the taunting whispers of a deep voice mocking her with false luck through the force. that prick.
❛ you’ve lost your bloody mind ! ❜ while that statement does stand true for most that are involved within the FIRST ORDER, she has never blatantly addressed it with such certainty and venom before. wide eyes. brown hues filled with absolute horror as the knight shakes her head and frowns in the most ungraceful of frowns.
the bridge is quiet, and all eyes are staring but she couldn’t careless about anyone else’s opinion at this point. ‘i’m no diplomat.’ she reminds her self. she’s no diplomat and she would never challenge those better suited at the job that can get negotiations done properly. diplomacy is not her forte, nor is it her talent. she’s been bred to kill. to strike first, and ask questions later. her entire world ran on chaos and destruction. she was fuelled by blood. words... were difficult. arms gesture wildly at the man that stands before her, ❛ you have to come with me i’m not ---- you ! ❜
