As Dez slipped inside, the green blade swirled in a circle–an effective way to block larger volumes of blaster bolts, if you could get the timing right. Evidently, the timing was not right, because there was a yelp of pain as one of the training bolts got through, then a hiss of frustration. “You’ve gotten better at that,” Dez observed. Reath startled, then brightened, his posture transforming as he grinned with genuine delight. “Knight Rydan!” “It’s Dez,” he chided gently, not for the first time, though he couldn’t help returning the grin. “You of all people don’t need to be formal with me.” “Right. Dez.” Reath nodded firmly, like he was committing the correction to memory.

Or: Two sparring sessions, most of a decade apart.

welcome to day 2 of my @thehighrepublicweek fics, this time featuring dez and reath!

reading about the kinds of mischief padawans and knights get up to (dez rydan i'm looking at you) honestly just makes me sad bc yord and jecki were supposed to do all of that together

jecki was supposed to pass her trials, go out and party and drink things she shouldn't while yord sulks in the corner, and they were supposed to be best buddies and now they're not and i'm sad

Found this sketch in an old folder and thought I'd put it here - Reath Silas, Dez Rydan and Jora Malli celebrating taking Reath on as a Padawan.

I'm not quite finished yet, but I just reached the part where 17-year-old Reath Silas is confronted with a small army of flesh-eating plant people who have a bloodied, disoriented Dez Rydan in their captivity, caged, and repeatedly drugged through the use of "thorn" needles, which they inject fuck-knows-what into him. They call humans "meat", they're literally made up of slithery tentacle vines, and if Reath isn't careful, he's going to get violently fucked and/or vored by these guys, and quite frankly if this isn't right up my sick twisted alley, I don't know what is

I'd like to see more "Padawans whose Masters were friends end up being buddies" dynamics. Like, Keeve thinks of Reath as a younger cousin because Sskeer would babysit him while Jora had Council duties and he couldn't just be left to roam the Archives for hours.

Actually, this probably happened with Dez Rydan too when she was a newbie Padawan...
