*Nonplussed, Emnast leaves...and lets Shia sleep...The next morning, someone knocks on her door*
Shia...it's me...may I come in?

"May I make myself presentable first?" she replies crawling out of the bedroll with a yawn.

Shia nods and quickly changes into clean clothing, unfortunately nothing really seems to match up. Wanting to kick herself for not looking more carefully at the stuff she packed, she pulls out the dress she had made to wear to Kerobian's wedding, half hoping she would have been allowed to see it, if only a little. A quick brushing sets her hair straight and she opens the door, surprised to find it unlocked, feeling silly and more than a little over dressed.

*She finds Emnast waiting with a tray, which he gently hands to her, then turns and leaves*

"Emnast,..." she begs in a hesitant voice. "W...won't you eat breakfast with me?" She looks at the tray and sighs. "There's really too much food here just for me."

*Emnast shakes his head*
Why would I eat with someone who doesn't want me around...besides, if I hang around here, I'll wind up asking you to lie with me again.

"I never said I don't want you around." says Shia testily. "I said you were asking me to do things in the wrong manner. How else am I going to learn anything about you, if you don't visit from time to time?"

*Emnast sighs*
Why would you want to learn something about me? I'm nothing...I'm a shadow, consumed by lust...and I can only be freed when truth and lies are one...that is my curse...for killing my sister...for power...

Shia looks outside hopefully and suggests they eat out in front of the cave. "Kero has told me a little of what you did. He has never told me why. I don't think he really knows. Do you." she asks gently.

*Emnast laughs humorlessly*
For power...that was all it was...I was blinded by shadows...and thought of nothing but increasing my own might...for no other reason that to simply have it...go and eat wherever you wish...this shadow can't stand the sun...

Shia reaches out and touches his arm, steeling herself to the rejection she knew she would feel. "We could go under a tree or just open the window to my room? I... I really want ot be with you Emnast. It... it's lonely in here by myself."

*Emnast looks at her...and the longing in his eyes is plain...*
You....really want to be with me that bad?

"Please..." she says gently, with a small smile of encouragement. "I really do want to be with you, Emnast. I want to know you... all about you..." she sighs and lowers her gaze shyly. "I've never met anyone like you before."
