Phoenix Rising, Phase 2 (Invitation)

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She looks around the establishment as if she were checking on how things were being handled for the Matron. She wonders how Barzai will respond to her presence here. Surely, she was more warmly received here than on Obra-skai. It made her wonder what kind of hold Barzai had upon these people here. Indeed, Raviel was correct, there was no way to get past security, this was the only way.*

[Triune]

*The trek leads her deep into the walls of the Cavern, through halways that are hewn from solid stone and reinforced with not single but triple bracing. She has to rethink her idea, even a planetary break up would not cause this portion to fall apart. The scary sound of hammer on metal can be heard. Only through Holovids did Kyra even know what that sounded like. The scene makes the holovid pale in comparison. There stripped to the waist is the largest most muscled (and scarred) Danthiri she's ever seen, he stands over a large anvil and with tong in one hand he uses a replusor assisted hammer to work durasteel by hand! Lasers heat the forge rather then coal and a droid mans the fans to keep air to the near molten stones. He turns to look at 'Adesia' and a smile forms on his rugged features. he pulls his hand free and walks towards her. A glance is all it takes to send the guards away. He looms over her for a moment his face unreadable, what's even more disconcerting is his mind is unreadable as well...*

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She can't help but smile at the large man. Such strength....the size of his muscles...the sweat from the hard work he has done. She catches herself and the smile fades from her lips as she raises an eyebrow at his reaction and places her hands on her hips while tilting her head a little. She feels a little unnerved at his closeness yet strangely aroused as well.*

"Really, Barzai. I had thought you had given up doing things the hard way. This heat is unbearable."

*She frowns at him but maintains her cool. To further affect of her words, she fans herself with her hand but for more than one reason.*

[Triune]

*He chuckles, a deep resonant sound as he leans over, his nostrils flare as he sniffs in only a hairsbreath from her neck. A base rumble escapes his throat.*

"You smell wonderful... too long has it been since I have inhailed your scent... Far too long...." Before anything else happens he kisses her. Deep, abiding resonant kiss that all but explodes in her mind as this fathomless wall proves it holds a furvor as hot as the fires of his forge.

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She flenches at first as his massive frame comes down closer to her and he sniffs her. She swoons a little as he then moves to kiss her. Her mind explodes in a passion that she has experienced with no man before. Was this the connection the Danthiri had with each other or was it just this man? She had told herself that she was through with all men, yet she couldn't resist him. She lets herself get taken away in the kiss and forgets for a moment why she has come. Her arms envelope around him.*

[Triune]

*Barzai rumbles a growl deep in his throat as he lifts her from the ground, up into his arms. He breaks the kiss briefly to look at her, his eyes ablaze with hunger for her. He walks towards the door, his hand hitting the comm unit mounted there.*

"This is General Barzai, I am not to be distrubed for any reason till the rise of the fifth moon. That is all."

*His lips meet hers again, that riotous detonation of sensations and emotions bask her like a supernova engulfs planets... He carries her towards his quarters.*

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

************A curtain falls and time passes************

*She looks upon Barzai as she raises up and smiles at him. Her mind still feeling the after effects from being with him. Truly, she understands why Adesia is fond of him. She furrows her brows a little as she remembers what she is here though the reminder comes reluctantly.* "There's something else I need from you..."

[Triune]

*Barzai smiles up at her. Their bed, the Danthiri styled 'nest of pillows and comforters' in the darkened room he calls his. A collection of weapons taken from those he has defeated (including three lightsabres one simply must be a Sith's from the design of it) as well as delicate sculptures from water vapor, held in place by replusors. He brushes some of her platinum tresses from her face.*

"Mmm more then what we just shared, 'Sia? You know all you need do is ask..."

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*Her features soften again as she leans forward to kiss him again hoping to further his willingness to give her anything.*

"I need some meleenium....a large shipment of it. There is a spy within the Ebonclaws and we are trying to find out who it is....."

*She searches his eyes.* "I want to find this spy and skin him before he betrays us."

[Triune]

*He returns the kiss, a hand entangling in her platinum locks, his other hand cradles against the small of her back, she can feel the power there, a flick of a wrist he could snap her spine, where did he gain such physical power? No Danthiri could rival him no five could... Kyra had a small doubt that not even the force could hold him back... Where did the Matron spawn him? These thoughts fill her mind hidden behind the mask of Adesia. Barzai eventually breaks the kiss and smiles up at her again.*

"Very well 'Sia... You may have your shipment... how many haulers? two? I would check on that spineless Vulkur, Raviel... He always is into something."

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She chuckles* "Trust me. If he wasn't so important to the Matron, he would already be dead. I don't like him one bit."

*She pulls her hair to one side as she smiles at him.* "Two will do. One more thing....I want a Vorcia to fly out of here. For some reason, I can't get one without your approval." *She looks down at him clearly displeased by this lack of power here.*

"You may be General, but even you can be defeated." *She chuckles watching his face as she says this.*

[Triune]

*Barzai at first nods to her words, agreeing and is about to say something concerning the Vorcia when the last words leave her mouth. A scarred eyebrow arches for a moment before he speaks.*

"I may not be the most diplomatic, nor the most subtle but there is no strategist that can match me nor a being that can best me in single combat."

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She chuckles at this and smiles at him as her fingertip lightly traces down his stomach.*

"Oh? You were bested by one once before. Or do you not remember?"

*Her head tilts and the plantinum tresses tumble down across his chest again. A seductive smile plays upon her face.*

[Triune]

*Barzai chuckles softly his hand caressing her back.*

"You bested me in a sparing match, quite ably too. Single Combat has only one survivor, the victor... As I still live and my opponents lie screaming in the shallow earth I am the one to state no being can best me in such a match. What need you a Vorcia for?"

[Lady Zahra/Jules]

*She purrs with delight as his light touch and caressing as her gaze turns to his own face again.* "For business of my own. Don't tell me that you don't trust me, Barzai. I am never questioned of my actions. I am not about to start answering for them now. Will you authorize it?"
