Chapter Sixteen - Kweide

My limbs ached as I pushed them into a fast walk towards the servants hall, it was meant to hold high ranking warrior's servants if they had to leave them for a short amount of time. And lately, from what I've been told, it housed a young warrior's failed attempt to turn a foreign life form into servitude. That venture cost him his own life, and the life form earned it's right to be free. I could not understand the Elder's calm attitude towards it and leaving the ooman there.

He was no fool. This I knew very well. But her life could be in danger if she were to anger it and there was little I could do at this distance to stop myself from failing if it decided she was its next victim. I would certainly want to fight it, at least to defend my honor, but she was a servant and it out ranked her. If she offended it, her head was up for grabs and far from my own reach.

I slammed my palm against the door's lock to get it to slide up faster, much to my irritation it took its time registering the gesture and opened slowly. I moved in and almost called for her when I spotted her. Sitting on the chair with the life form in her lap. My stomach dropped.

"Ooman..." I spoke in a calm manner though I felt tension gripping me like claws. This venomous being lay content on her as if it were no more than a mere hellhound pup ready for sleep. I was not fooled by that demeanor, it could kill us both if I wasn't careful. "Ooman, set the life form down." I had no words for that recorded, I could only hope my movements and voice could convey what I wanted.

"I don't...I don't understand. Kweide, what are you trying to ask of me?" Her furry patches did that undoubtedly common motion of lumping together with her confusion. I pointed at the being, "Dangerous" I did have that word at least.

It began to growl immediately and rise from her threateningly in my direction. I unsheathed my wrist blades as a precaution, I did not want a fight in this environment with the ooman being in an annoyingly large amount of danger from us both. But if it came to tooth and claw fighting, Yautja lived and died this way. I would be no different.

"Hey shh, it's alright little one." I watched with disgust as she cooed at the creature and calmed it down again. "He's not dangerous really, you just have to treat him politely. You would be surprised how far one can get with a little common respect." Her tone was different, I didn't understand everything she was saying but the way she looked at my legs with disdain I knew her words were aimed at me like verbal plasma bolts.

My growl was enough of a response, I could tell from the way her eyes looked away and her head tilted lower that she was regretting whatever her words had been. I felt better though y response was not well received from the creature as I watched it snap at me twice. I twitched my mandibles furiously as I demanded she move away from it again.

She moved slowly to take the creature off her lap and set it back on the plush seating. "Goodbye little one, maybe later I will see you again?"Her face pulled into a lesser version of her ooman 'smiles' as she patted it once and pulled away to join me. Finally.

With a grunt I flicked my wrist blades closed and exited the room, checking once to make sure she was still in tow behind me. The ever present shadow drifting close but not too close to my back as the door slid shut.

"Kweide?" Her voice drifted up to me just loud enough to hear properly. I noted she addressed me more today than she had before. The little ooman grew braver it seemed, what I could do with that knowledge I didn't know. I turned back to look at her expectantly, she better make it quick.
