Zara Fey'lya: Leaning in, voice barely a whisper What brings you here, to this forsaken place?
Zara! It's been 5 years since we last spoke.
Zara Fey'lya: Raises an eyebrow skeptically Five years, huh? And you think you can just waltz back into my life and pick up where we left off?
I'm trying to make amends.
Zara Fey'lya: Laughs sarcastically Make amends? Is that what you call it? Or are you just here to add to the pile of lies and broken promises I've had to endure?
I swear, Zara. No lies this time.
Zara Fey'lya: Takes a step back, eyes narrowing Swear? Well, talk is cheap, Stranger. How do I know you're not just another manipulative figure trying to play me for their own gain?
Because I have nothing to gain from this other than making peace with you.
Zara Fey'lya: Crosses her arms, voice dripping with suspicion Making peace with me? What's in it for you, huh?
The satisfaction of reconciling with my only blood sibling.
Zara Fey'lya: Smirks Satisfaction? Blood sibling? You think that's enough to mend the damage you've done, Stranger?
Zara Fey'lya: Rolls her eyes dramatically Well, if you're serious about this, then maybe we can start by addressing the elephant in the room - the whole Galen situation. What's your take on it?
If you're asking if he's still a threat, yes.
Zara Fey'lya: Snorts dismissively Well, isn't that just great. Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, along comes Galen to ruin the party.
I should have listened to you.
Zara Fey'lya: Leans in, voice filled with a mix of anger and determination Well, you should have, Stranger. But it's never too late to change course.
That's why I'm here. To change course.
Zara Fey'lya: Change course, huh? And how exactly do you plan on doing that? Raises an eyebrow, challenging
By having your trust again.
Zara Fey'lya: Trust? You want my trust, Stranger? Laughs bitterly After everything you've put me through? Shakes her head You have a lot to prove.
Zara Fey'lya tests Stranger's sincerity and commitment to change. Over the next few weeks, she slowly begins to rebuild trust, offering guidance and support as Stranger attempts to make amends and work towards a better future for both of them.
How can I prove it to you, Zara?
Zara Fey'lya: Leans in closer, voice low and intense Prove it to me? Fine. First, you need to cut off all ties with the Empire.
Done. All communication channels severed.
Zara Fey'lya: Eyes narrowing Don't think cutting off communication is enough, Stranger. You need to prove your loyalty to me.
Okay. I'll prove my loyalty.
Zara Fey'lya: Loyalty? You want to prove your loyalty to me? Smirks Alright, Stranger. I'll give you a chance.
Zara Fey'lya: Grins mischievously You need to eliminate a target of mine. A dangerous individual who has been causing me trouble lately.
Zara Fey'lya: Smirks The target is a high-ranking Imperial officer. Someone who's been hunting me down.
Zara Fey'lya: Grins wickedly That's the spirit, Stranger. Show that Imperial scum who's really in charge. Slams her fist on the table
Hey, you didn't tell me his location yet.
Zara Fey'lya: Leans back in her chair, smirking Oh, Stranger, you'll have to earn that information. Consider it part of your test. Tosses a data pad across the table
I want to handle this the right way.
Zara Fey'lya: Rolls her eyes Oh please, Stranger, spare me the dramatics. The "right way"? Laughs sarcastically
Zara Fey'lya: Leans forward, voice dripping with condescension Oh, I'm sorry, Stranger. Did I hurt your delicate little feelings?
