A brief commotion was heard as Valstrol came darting to where Nicademus and Tyrana were outside. Nic was somewhat confused by what was going on as Valstrol approached his daughter. He gently touched her shoulder, sending waves of the Force through her, trying to get his daughter to relax.
Tyrana, please, take a deep breath and relax.
The Sith knew how Tyrana was getting close to Nicademus now. He would not let this ruin any chances. After a couple moments, Nicademus began to approach Tyrana, causing Valstrol to step back. The Imperial looked at Tyrana, his voice trying to help her.
Tyra? Please...show me your beautiful face again.

Sensing her Papa's touch and feeling the calm waves, Ty tried to do as he said, but she was too far overwhelmed by her own power. Instinctively she reached out quickly, the first thing she grabbed was Nic's hand, and squeezing tight she gripped the railing with the other.
Th-that woman..... was no mother.........
Feeling as if she were about to burst Ty began to breathe deeply, sending out a plea to her adoptive father for help, he would be able to feel a sudden change in the pressure of the area as she began to lose control

Valstrol sensed the plea by his daughter. He took in a deep breath and grabbed her shoulders. He used the sheer pressure of his own Force presence to counteract the growing instability and forcing it down to a containable level. The whole time, Tyrana would feel Nicademus holding her hand tightly, waiting to see what would happen. He would eventually speak as the Imperial gazed at Tyrana.
Tyra? Tyra? Tyra are you okay?

For a moment it seemed as if Valstrol's efforts were not working, but Ty felt the squeeze of Nicademus's hand against her own and held on to that for dear life. With the aid of both men, Tyra seemed to find herself again, suddenly very glad that she had agreed to leave such a crowded area for this more private one. It took a few minutes for her to calm down completely, breathing heavilly with tears in her eyes, her own gaze never once leaving her Papa's
y-yes.....
Completely calm, but a little shaken, she turned from the two men and took a step away, before being stopped by her own hand in a strong grip, connected to Nic. She looked into his eyes, and stared for a moment or two before shaking her head minutely
Y-you... didn't run.....
She looked at Valstrol for a briefly, then back to Nic
Most people... men especially... run.... when that happens...

Nicademus smiled as he looked at Tyrana, glad to see she was calming down. Valstrol would back away, letting the two make a connection it seemed. The Head of State looked at his hand which held hers, then looked into her eyes. He keeps smiling at the young lady.
Well when you have your father as a mentor on Imperialism, you see a lot of strange things, Tyrana. Plus, my former lady did worse and she wasn't even force sensitive.
Nicademus chuckled lightly before taking Tyrana's hand into both of his hands.
We all have negative sides to us, Tyrana. Sides that we are afraid to show to others. Its just part of who you are, I would never judge you for it.

The pressure which had been building subsided as Ty gazed into Nic's eyes, everything else dimming away. She bit her lip as she took in his and tilted her head slightly
You are very brave...
Tears began to flow down her cheeks, more out of exhaustion from both her travels and the last couple of hours here on the surface. She removed her death grip on his hands and instead took his arm gently with one hand, and wiped away her tears with the other
I know you are busy, but I was wondering... could you take me somewhere to sit and have a drink? It might... calm my nerves
She looked to her father
Where am I staying tonight Papa?

Nicademus smiles lightly at Tyrana. Valstrol looks at his daughter, deciding not to answer and to leave the two alone for now as the Sith walked away without a word. The Head of State then takes Tyrana back inside and allows her to order a drink at the bar inside. He sat down next to her and glances at Tyrana.
Well, Tyrana. I have to be brave. I need to be brave to ensure that I can face the challenges of the Imperial Remnant that are to come. Brave to present the lead the forces of this growing nation to victoy. And brave to face the challenges of my own life.

She nods as she orders her drink and sips it, the liquor shooting fire down her throat and calming the jitteriness of her limbs. She listened as she drank, and said nothing for the longest time. After a few minutes of silence, she turned and looked to him. Her eyes showing that she was contemplating something
I should explain my behavior back there......
Ty took another long sip from her glass, her eyes on his face, gaging his reaction
I'm sure you'd like to know....

Nicademus turns his body fully to face Tyrana as she asks to explain her behavior back there. He quietly strokes his chin while she had her drink before the Head of State ordered himself one and then smiled.
If you wish to explain it, then by all means, go ahead, Tyrana.

Her gaze fell to the bar and her hands slid into her lap
From the time I was born, to about the time I was...... eight?
She stopped to think about it for a moment
Eight... that sounds about right.... I was abused, for being less than perfect compared to my elder brother. I was pushed up and down stairs for not being able to climb them fast enough, I was burned by flame and chemical.... And I was beaten, several times a day....
She took a long sip of her drink and gestured for another
On what was supposed to be my eighth birthday, I pleaded and begged my-.... mother..... She forced the word out between clenched teeth to allow me one birthday to have a party, as they gave my perfect brother every year on his own... She spoke of it to my..... father.... and they showed me a dash of kindness and she took the day with me, getting me all pretty.... We got our nails done, make overs.... I was finally a high society member's daughter..... That woman took me to my room after and told me to wait..... So I did....
Her throat grew tight and she swallowed back the tears, tears she had tried so long to overcome at this part of her hard-to-tell story
After a few hours of waiting by myself... thinking that they were preparing a party for me, my...... father.... came in and he-... he-.............
Ty turned her face away from Nicademus so that he could not see the look of agony on her face. It was a long time before she spoke again, and when she did, it was a whisper so soft, if he was not intently listening he would have missed what she said
He raped me... an eight year old girl.... and when he was done, he pulled me from my chambers, naked, and tossed me down the stairs into the foyer where my "party" was waiting for me... I think it was a dozen or so of his friends, all senators, peace keepers.... and they all had a turn with me.....
Her lip quivered as she recalled her father's words as he sneered at her from up the stairs
He watched them, happily! And when I pleaded for them to stop... he said: "But isn't this what you wanted? A party all your own?"
A tipsy sob escaped her lips
Then I saw my.... that woman.... and she just stood by and watched me........... I called to her..... screamed for her......
Ty dropped her face into her hands, shaking her head slowly
When I am sober and I recall them... I cannot control this force sensitivity.........
She shot back the new glass that had been sitting in front of her for a moment and slammed it back down on the bar
What really makes me angry about him...... that "father" of mine......
When Ty looked back to Nicademus she had a look of anger
He was a jedi...... a JEDI!

Nicademus was remaining calm while he listened to Tyrana's story. However, with the story escalating so quickly, Nic could barely even hold his glass. Tyrana had come from such a terrible childhood, an innocence ruined with a snap. The Imperial slowly set down his drink. It was evident that he was trying to speak words, but they weren't coming up from his throat. Nic only managed to quietly look at Tyrana and gently touch her shoulder, rubbing it gently before looking away slightly. He took in a deep breath, finally managing to speak.
No words can really give any sort of comfort for what you have endured, Tyrana. Such a horror and traumatic event is something beyond my own comprehension that I can't even think straight. I just...all I can do is just display concern and comfort to the best of my ability. I just...am speechless of someone like you experiencing such a terrible event. I am only happy that Lord Horica managed to save you and take care of you.

She looked at him for a moment, then broke into a fit of hysterical laughter, then she shot him a cold look. Her eyes were hard and unforgiving, as they had been for a moment or two when they spoke of her beauty an hour ago
He didn't save me from them........ He didn't even adopt me until about a year or so ago.
Ty's smile was cruel, her expression dangerous
I saved myself from their clutches...
The memory of her brutally murdering the entire family with her father's lightsaber which she had stolen when he had gone to shower after one particularly brutal night of having her playing in her mind as she spoke, her tone icy.
The walls were painted red when I was finished with them. I spared no one, not even the servants...
She tilted her head back and quickly drank the liquor the bartender set in front of her
I took what money I could find in the house, stayed in a run down flat in the Underworld of Coruscant, made a living as a call girl, until I followed a Mando to Alzoc where I met Papa...
Her gaze softened, remembering just how he had helped her
It was a long road, and Papa was very adament on my coming clean of the drugs I had been on.... He put me in a room and had me handcuffed to the bed where I was cut off completely from access to any form of drug or liquor... I had to stay there for two weeks, having no contact with the outside world other than th servant who fed me and helped me
She smiled softly and looked at Nic
I am grateful for him...

Nicademus continues to listen quietly to her life's story. He finishes his drink as Tyra finishes her story. He smiles lightly, reaching over and gently rubbing her shoulder lightly. He glanced over where Valstrol, disguised as an Imperial official, was watching them quietly. The Sith smiles lightly in return before walking off for now. Nicademus turns to look at Tyrana.
For a Sith, Valstrol cares a lot about family. Its something he taught me. Family can always be trusted, no matter the circumstances. And that's what he wanted to do for you; he wanted you to have a family you can rely upon for support and care whenever you needed it, whether you did need it or not. And I do judge you for what you did...they deserved every terrible end to their life for what they did to you.

Ty looked at him for a long time before setting her glass back on the
bar with a soft "clink", running her fingers through her ear length,
messy hair
I fear for what I might be like if I hadn't met him... but enough about my past... I am tired
She looked tired now, the vibrancy to which she had showed up with had dulled slightly
I haven't.... rested in a long time....

Nicademus pondered slightly when she said that. He suspected that Valstrol had plans for her to sleep somewhere safe, but the Head of State had a safer place for Tyrana to sleep in. Hopefully this was alright to suggest. He turned to her and lowered his voice.
Well...I do have a full suite that I stay in at the Imperial Center. Maybe you can stay there for now...if you want.

she looked shocked for a moment and lowered her voice as well
I am not a call girl... Master Nicademus....
After a few seconds her gaze softened
But yes... If it is only rest you are offering.... I would be grateful to you

The Imperial laughs at her comment before lowering his voice once more, showing her a good grin.
Thought you said not long ago that you would show me a great time. Besides, I would never treat you like a call girl. You are of honorable blood and I will treat you like a Queen. I am only offering rest to you. I could dare not even think of violating things further than that.

After hearing that she couldn't help but laugh, the sound light-hearted
Oh I see! Well yes, I would appreciate that!
She finished up the drink that she had and set the glass down on the bar, looking at Nic as she stood up from her stool

Nicademus had a serving boy go and get the air limo ready for depature. Stormtroopers lined the center area in order to escort the Head of State out of the building. He looked at Tyrana, offering his arm to her.
Shall we?

She took his arm with a smile and nodded, but then stopped a moment, looking behind them
Shouldn't we tell Papa? He will be worried if he doesn't know where I am....
Nic would be able to tell that she was genuinely worried about it
