Johnathan smiled at her,"It will be better soon and you'll be up for slaying Jedi and breaking hearts all over this big shebbed galaxy."He laughed and finished his breakfast, finishing it off with his water. "Only the best could teach a headache like me."He joked,referring to his time as a padawan when he was much younger and much less mature.

*Morri laughed, handing her finished tray off to the passing service droid. It was true... Johnathan had come a long way since she had first met him all those years ago. It was back then that she learned that there would never be a dull moment when he was around.*
Lek, you were a handful back then... I'm pretty sure half the Jedi in the Order wanted to pull their hair out on your accord a time or two...
*She says, tucking her hair behind her ears.*
But then... we've all had journeys and adventures that make life all our own...

Johnathan smiled in agreement. "Ah yes, you are so very correct." he chuckled and watched her for a moment. "I miss the old days..when we used to spend hours together at the Temple..when everything was peaceful..before the dark times...hell before Paymon fell to the dark side."he laughed and then checked his comm unit, still nothing, the council is probably running around like chickens now, he pictured them in his head and how a few he'd like to bash their skulls into the wall for holding him back so much, simply because they were full of fear of what he could do at such a high rank.

*Morri nodded in response to Johnathan, giving him a soft smile. Even she had to admit that in the chaotic world they lived in, sometimes the "Good old days" seemed to have their moments of luster.*
Those were good times... I must admit...
*She looked down at her hands and then back to Johnathan.*
...I can admit there were so many good things about life back then... it was certainly easier being a fly on the wall of the Jedi Temple, than it is some ass whooping Sith lady...
*She says giving a smirk, adding a laugh at his mention of Paymon.*
Paymon liked to throw a wrench into the mix that's for sure... but no one can deny that in all endeavors he had potential...
*She fake coughed*
Even if he was a pain in the ass...

Johnathan sighed, he knew it was probably pointless to act, but he knew he would hurt his family by leaving them and honestly he didn't want to leave them..but he knew he has to unless she can see that the darkness is wrong.
Johnathan smiles, and looks back up at her, his soft green eyes meeting hers,"Maybe you weren't meant to be a dark and evil thing? Maybe you were meant for the life of healing and bringing peace to the beings of the force." Johnathan held out his hand for her, "I don't know what you feel in your heart, and I'm not going to tell you what you feel or what you should feel. I just remember what I saw in you, how you protected..me..maybe now its my time to return the favor..but maybe I already did."Johnathan gave a soft sigh, giving mention to when Paymon almost killed her and then when Johnathan drove the blade that was now in his own possession through the heart of his own Uncle. Deep inside him his hunger for death was content his eyes were turning yellow, a voice in his head was screaming. He knew what the voice was and he brushed it off of his back.

*Morri reached out, taking Johnathan's hand and letting her thumb trace across it. She could almost feel his inner struggle, she could certainly see it. Her green eyes turned to his, she gave a small sigh. She never wanted to cause him anymore pain than she already had... but she felt as though for herself... she had gone too far... that turning back was damned near an impossibility. She could feel herself being tugged in two directions...*
You have saved me... In more ways than one... You've given me my life back, my ability to feel and to love...
*She brought his hand to her lips and kisses it lovingly.*
Those are things that I never thought I'd get back... I know you're struggling, I can see it written all over your face... I'm not asking you to chose a side or to change who you are... only you can determine your future... and what you want in life...
*She listened as he spoke of what he had seen in her, it appeared it was something he'd always seen in her. He was right.. her heart wasn't completely cold... but it certainly felt tainted sometimes... okay... all the time... she would die for the few she cared about, would kill for them too... She wasn't like most Sith though... she wasn't out for her own power... or her own self preservation... She still had a common goal with the Jedi... she wanted to restore balance... she just had her own style of getting there... After a moment, she speaks up again.*
I'll admit.. I'm not like your Uncle was... cold... ruthless... there are those I would kill for... die for... I don't seek to make myself into some all powerful being... I seek to bring back a balance into the Galaxy...
*She sighs, shaking her head a bit... she didn't want Johnathan to feel as though she were insulting him personally... because she wasn't... she had never seen him as she saw the others... she just hoped that he was open enough to see that...*
...I tried the Jedi ways for years... they never were willing to put out the effort to sustain a balance... all they wanted to do in my time there was hide out in their precious Temple, sipping coffee and gossiping... Very few times when I was out following instincts and seeking to do my job as a Guardian did I ever see council members putting themselves on the line...
*She frowns, obviously thinking back.*
...When I left, it wasn't because I wanted to be some death dealing sith witch... it was because the complacency and non-action of the Jedi Order disgusted me... I felt like a dirty pawn in their game of self sufficiency...
*She looked back to Johnathan, her green eyes wide, sparkling a bit... it was obviously something she sincerely felt... *
There's more to life than what's inside the guarded walls of the Jedi Temple... and someone had to look after it all...
*She knew that some of what she said seemed like a contradiction... and perhaps even made her seem a bit crazy... but she had been more open and honest with Johnathan than she had anyone... ever... she just hoped he could not necessarily agree with her, or want to change for her... that wasn't what she wanted... but she wanted him to at least know where she was coming from... why she had done the things she had done... Yes, she was a dark, dangerous woman.... yes she had caused trouble, and hurt more people than she cared to admit... but she had done it for a cause she believed in... *

Johnathan smiled at her,"There is nothing you can do to go too far from the light, only you can choose the path you walk, I know that the path I walk is in the shadows and that I am never going to be a member of the Jedi Council, I want more than that though. The council is simply a committee and that is not what the galaxy needs, we need fighters, we need warriors, because this is a time of war, maybe thats what our destiny is for the time being, to prove to the Jedi that they are more than just robots, that they are only weakening themselves and the galaxy by sitting around and never actually instilling the peace that they so preciously want in the galaxy, now I understand why my Uncle said the Jedi were pathetic..its not because he felt better than them, but because they don't know that the power they have could indeed bring out a peace in the galaxy."he finally finished. Then he smiled at her,"Now why you wouldn't listen to me before is beyond me."he laughed and stood up, giving his tray to a droid he smiled as he heard them announce over the comm that they would be out of hyperspace momentarily.

*Morri laughed, standing to her feet as the announcement of the hyperspace exit came of the PA.*
Because I'm a woman, and it's my job to torture you and be as stubborn as humanly possible?
*She asked with a teasing smirk. She couldn't help but be glad that Johnathan could relate to her feelings towards the Jedi and the council... it was nice and refreshing to have someone actually get it... and more than just because she needed allies... but because she could finally be free to be herself...*
Come, love...
*She says, moving towards the corridor.*
It seems reality is trying to interrupt our time together...

Johnathan smiled and followed by her side, he was very content that she wasn't evil now that everything in their past had been laid aside and they sat talking one on one about their problems with both sides. Johnathan was wise to know that he would never have the chance to be somewhere where he had no problems with anything at all, but he was going to make the most of his life with Bettie and no one would dare try to take that away from him or they would endure pain and suffering beyond their wildest dreams.
Johnathan followed her patiently awaiting when they would fall out of hyperspace and enter the hot desolate system of Korriban. Johnathan knew that they would have to explain everything, he had been a part of the Old Sith Empire and he was quite sure many people here would most likely recognize him and that there would probably be a time when he would have to prove that he wasn't there for revenge, he had over the years had his revenge and avenged his fallen brother and even himself. The avenging days of his soul were over this new dark side of Johnathan, it craved the fight, it craved the blood of his enemies, and most of all it craved death.
Johnathan looked to Morrigna as they made it to the bridge, this ship was laid out alot like the one he himself had been the commanding officer of, but it was much more clean and much much more state of the art. As Johnathan stepped onto the bridge with Morrigna, he could feel the anger in the air, people were very wary of Johnathan being there and the fact that Paymon was no where to be seen.
Johnathan simply followed along side Morrigna and once they received the ETA he himself was please, a ship this big that moves as fast as it does, thats magnificent and very good because of the fact that during battle speed and accuracy are the two things needed the most, and then Johnathan felt it, they dropped out of hyperspace into the orbit of Korriban.
