 Raised within the society of the rich, the materials selected for Luxeria’s dwelling reflects her high class status. Tied with her simpler tastes and mindset acquired from her Sith training, her room is crafted to be luxurious, smooth, and dark with black marble floors and walls, broken up by golden trim. Collections of Sith artifacts, crystal formations, and books lie upon shelves and display cases, revealing her interest in rare and ancient relics. Granting a clear view of the barren world of flame are full length windows that run along the back wall of the living area and bedroom while shutters with holo projectors descend, allowing for a change in scenery. A curved sunken floor allows for close interactions upon the half moon couch, be it for conversing, watching the holo screen, or communicating with others via the holo projector in the round coffee table while more intimate encounters take place within the large shower and jacuzzi. Ambient lighting strips along the edges of each room, as well as each individual light in the shelves can be adjusted for color and dimness to influence the mood.
With accommodations many would consider worthy of a deity and Luxeria’s particular desire for power, it is sometimes referred to as the Chamber of the Goddess. |

Making their way down the halls and up a couple levels, the group finally arrived at the door to what was Luxeria's chambers. she thanked the escort and let them depart, disappearing from sight before she finally turned to the door and opened it. She was both excited and nervous to see what waited for her. Viox had asked her how she wanted her room to be, allowing her to customize it and shape it to her desires and needs. It was a surprise, to say the least. And when all was said and done, there was no denial in her requests. She hoped it meant good things.
As the door opened, she was greeted with the orange glow of the lava world beyond the full length windows running along the entire back wall. Moving in, she activated the lights to better see what was inside. Clean white lights illuminated the area, reflecting in the black marble walls and floors. It would have seemed to be a dark void if not for the elegant golden trim along the floors and walls. Along the back wall was a small section of marble, breaking up the windows and housing a large holo screen. In front of it was a sunken bit of the floor in a circular shape with a half moon shaped couch within designed in black with white pillows. Before it was a black marble table trimmed in gold with a light blue ring near the center. She suspected that it housed the holo projector she asked for. Along the left wall was shelves and two wall hanging display cabinets while tall display cases rested against the right wall.
Moving inside, she brought her chests in so to close the door and explore her room further. Just to her right opened up into a small kitchen designed similarly to the main living area. Overall, there was nothing special about it aside from looking nice and having nice appliances. Moving down was another door that led to a large bedroom. The back wall continued with the full length mirrors. The only extra bits was the bed, made of the same Greel wood as the display cases were, and computer in the corner. Still holding the marble and gold she moved to the windows to were a door rested, opening to a small walk in closet. Moving through it, she exited another door that led to the bathroom. It was large and spacious, housing both a large walk in shower and large Jacuzzi, each allowing for up to four people. Exiting the bathroom back into the bedroom, she moved back to the main area. So far, she was very satisfied with the set up. Reaching the sofa, she noticed a few remotes. She tried them, the first controlling the main screen, the second adjusted the lights on the shelves and ceiling, while the third dropped the shutters on the windows, removing the glow of orange in the room. Hitting another button, holo projectors began switching through different scenes. It made her feel like she was one different worlds, though she ended up settling on a deep space scene for the time being.
With a smile, she moved back to her stuff and began to unpack.

Luxeria spent nearly an hour unloading and organizing her things. She put away the few supplies and kitchen accessories she had and put her clothes and chests away in the closet. Easy enough in those unloading given the room she had to put them. But the part she enjoyed most was putting out the special items on the shelves and display cases.
On the left wall, she set her holocron on one of the lower shelves, allowing her ease of access for when she wanted to looked through it. In the display case closest to the window, she began to hang her trophy lightsabers gained from her victories. The two saberstaves taken from the Jedi Brutes during the raid on Felucia, two single lightsabers from two Jedi Knights on Vandelhiem, and a pair of twin lightsabers from a Jedi apprentice on Vandelhiem. It was a satisfying sight, though the was quite a bit of space left. She would just need to fill them up.
With everything in place, she sat down on the sofa to relax for a while.

Luxeria woke suddenly with a slight jump as if startled by something. Looking around, she saw that she was still stirring on the sofa. When she looked to see what time it was, she saw that a day had passed. A slight twinge of panic set in, though it quickly faded. For what reason did she need to panic and start freaking out? There was none. Obviously, there was no meeting Gavin, or anyone for that matter, for training. She had only just arrived and if she was going to be given duties to fulfill while here, she had yet to receive them. She didn’t even have a meeting with the Sith’ari or Jen’ari. Right now, her time was whatever she wished it to be.
Standing, she made her way to the kitchen to fix something to eat, stretching herself out as she went. She thought she was adapting well to the training standards Gavin held. She was always up in time and made it through the hours of the day while undergoing the intense training. Perhaps it was because her body knew that the training had come to an end, at least for the time being. Anything from this point on was on her. As such, her body took the time to fully recover and rest up before undergoing the regiment on her own. While she ate, she thought in the training she had done thus far and how much it really improved her abilities. They had covered he basics of nearly everything. The four basics of combat: evasion, blocking, counters and parries, and finally attack. In the Force she learned how to better context and become enveloped within the Force as well as refining her control and manipulation of the Force. At the current moment, she wasn’t sure just how much it helped. Facing the man who knew how it all worked and who was very skilled made it hard to judge. Her next fight could possibly sort out those questions.
Cleaning up, she sat back down on the sofa after grabbing a bag. Removing the contents, she revealed pieces of metal in black chrome and gold with crystals of varying colors. When she first went off to gather the materials to make her lightsaber, she didn’t know for certain which idea she wanted to run with as she had a few. And while going with the selection she did, she gathered enough to make more if needed. Now was that time. It never hurt to have an extra lightsaber, or in this case, two. She was going to make a pair of curved hilt sabers this time around, just as elegant and beautiful as her first. Most of the pieces had been crafted already. All that was left was tuning the crystals and building it. With that, she closed her eyes and began to meditate, infusing the Force into not only the crystals, but each piece. They would be tied to her and she’d know them inside out.

A couple days had passed since Luxeria began her meditation. No one had tried to contact her or tried to visit her, which was good. It meant she could dedicate the entirety of her time in meditation, focusing properly on tuning the crystals, imbuing them with the Force and connecting them to her and the rest of the pieces going into the construction of the lightsabers.
Opening her eyes, she looked at the pieces of Hurrikane, Rubat, and Velmorite crystals, which had darkened in color due to the tie to the darkness that she had bestowed upon them. Just as with Kyana Rendi, she understood the make up and properties that existed within them. And just like her previous lightsaber, they would compliment her approach and capabilities nicely. Standing from the sofa, she moved to the kitchen to find something to eat. The Force had maintained her enough so that any fits of hunger didn't disturb her. But now that she was done, the feeling was starting to settle on her with each passing second.
Fixing up a nice meal, she took the time to enjoy what she had fixed, not often making anything so well prepared. And to top it off, she had a little wine to celebrate her small success and effort in tuning the crystals. Savoring her dinner, she spent nearly thirty minutes eating before moving to the bathroom to shower. It was strange, having such a spacious shower with none to share it with, but at the same time, it was nice. It was almost as if she was bathing under a waterfall in the middle of the jungle: open with all the room in the world. The thought pleased her greatly, letting her enjoy the shower all the more. As with her dinner, she spent nearly thirty minutes bathing in comfort before departing the glass walls that kept the water contained. Finishing off with the last of what she needed to do before bed, she moved out to her bedroom and plopped down upon the comfy bed, relishing its softness. She had asked for quite a bit, she admitted, but they didn't spare any expense in gaining what she wished, even if she offer up some of the funds to gain what she wished.
Not once had she changed the scene playing over the windows since playing the openness of space and she had no desire to as she let herself drift off into a deep sleep.

The morning hours came quicker than expected when Luxeria finally rose from her sleep. Siting up in bed, she sat there, looking at the foot of her bed for awhile as if lost in a daze. Coming to Mustafar and not yet establishing anything in the form of a schedule as well recovering from her week long training with Gavin had disrupted her flow of being up earlier in the day and more alert. After a few minutes, she moved from her spot and went on about her typical morning happenings to prepare for the day.
Once she had showered and ate, she moved to the shelf to grab her holocron. She had yet to do much with it outside of the introduction it gave then a little bit of a lesson while on Coruscant. She was eager to learn more and expand her knowledge on what she truly wished to know. Sitting on the sofa, she set the holocron on the table and focused the Force into it, activating it. Once it shifted and opened, the image of a cloaked man emerged.
::Open your mind, young one as we continue your lessons. To start, we'll discuss the art of influence and control. The lowest of the abilities is Force Persuasion. In the end, the ability only works upon those who are weak minded. This might seem a simple and easy power to use, as many among the Sith to be weak minded, at least to their level of control. The minds of people are typically stronger than you may expect, so you should never be so overconfident to think that you can easily alter the thoughts of those around you. Still, you'd be surprised how many are actually weak enough to be influenced, even if a little extra effort is needed. But sometimes, a weak mind is not entirely necessary. This is mostly fact when directly interacting with someone. If you step into the mind of someone unaware of you, it is possible to step in and influence them better as they are not hardening your mind against you or not at all. be mindful of these situations and when they will serve you best. This is typically best used with a calm state of mind and a calm suggestive tone through verbal command. This usually acts as the voice for the one you are influencing.
Taking a step further, you can step fully into the mind of another, usually those who possess a stronger mind. This is considered Dominate Mind. This goes farther than just influencing thought and words of someone. It falls into this power that you begin to gain control over motor controls and can actually move your target. It also works in taking control of more than one person if you possess the control and focus to do so. However, this still is not a guarantee from those who possess strong minds or have developed the proper defenses to keep you out. When stepping into this technique, be exceptionally mindful towards your own mental defenses. If you extend your consciousness into the mind of another to control them, you may leave yourself vulnerable to them. With focus, those with strong defenses can fight you off while also slip into your own mind. However, that is just as much a possibility for you, something that would be wise to learn.
Finally, the greatest of mental control is Qâzoi Kyantuska, or Suppress Thought in basic. This steps beyond the normally means of mental powers as it is a power based within Sith Magic. Because of this, once mastered, even the strongest minds will fall to your control. Either a single target or multiple, you override the functions of their mind as they enter a trance-like state, unable to exhibit any control or resistance. No incantation or hand signs are required, only that you be in the presence of your target. Even more, this overrides the ability for certain instincts to push you out, such as the survival instinct. this will allow you to make them end their own lives. The ability to create a perfect slave.
These each hold different levels of power over an individual or group as you can obviously tell. Always be aware of those around you and think upon what ability you should use so not to waste effort, leave yourself open to influence from another, or even expose yourself if trying to keep your abilities hidden. That is your lesson for today. Meditate upon my words and seek out greater knowledge upon these techniques so that your understanding and capabilities will grow further.::
She watched as the image faded and the holocron closed. He had brought to light the abilities involved in simple control over the mind. There was much more, she knew, but it was most certainly a start. Deciding to do as she was told, she let herself slip into meditation to reflect upon what she learned.

The hours had passed by quite swiftly as Luxeria meditated, focusing on the words spoken by Ketsunum. She worked to not only understand them, but focus and establish her mind on how the techniques function. She had already become skilled at Force Persuasion, having used it a couple times already to gain information she needed. Not only that, but the work to set up for the Dominate Mind ability was something she had been working on since the first day she met Darth Andor. She had yet to utilize the skill, but was confident the years spent sharpening her mind would allow her to use it without too much effort like before. In fact, she was confident that Dominate Mind was what she used that first day in the bar to force her target to jump slightly to spill his drink. She had entered his mind and gained enough control to shake his body before losing her connection. A promising thought, she knew.
Letting out a deep sigh, she opened her eyes. Slipping off the couch, she picked up the holocron and went to put it back on the shelf. Grabbing her lightsaber, she decided to leave her chambers and explore the temple. The passed day had been spent in her room and she felt she needed to get out for a bit. Time to get familiar with the layout of her new home. And with that, she departed from her room.

Having returned from the Meditation Chamber, Luxeria did little else the rest of the night. Taking the time to break in the Jacuzzi, she made sure the rest of the night was meant for relaxing. She was still recovering from the week of training with Gavin. Each day, the amount of time spent training kept going up, spending an hour focusing on the lessons from the days before, then spending another hour on the new task for that day. By the end of the week, he had her going for seven hours worth of training. She was able to grasp the purpose by the third day, but her body was working to catch up to a suitable level that didn't leave her worn out. The days spent training usually kept her up. It wasn't until the trip here and the time spent there after that she realized she still wasn't fully back up to speed. And under that condition, adding the couple hours spent amongst the potent darkness in the meditation chamber, she was about drained for the day. She debated sleeping in a little late to help with recovery. She doubted she'd need much more than just ensured relaxation for a few days before bed. If he had to go into a fight, she'd still be more than ready enough to go at it.
The next day showed her just that. Waking a few hours later than usual, she went about her morning routine of a shower and breakfast, taking little time to truly indulge herself in each. Rest and relaxation might be the best medicine for a worn out body, but she knew she couldn't spend that much time sitting around. There were still things left to do, and while they could wait, she saw no point in it. Once all was finished, she moved to the sofa, looking at the pieces of her lightsabers resting upon the marble table before her. It was time to finish her new additions. Taking a deep breath, she reached out with both hands and began lifting the parts for one of the lightsabers and began the work assembling it. She connected herself to it to ensure everything was properly aligned and fitting correctly

With everything set for the construction of her new ship, Luxeria returned to the planet's surface. She'd be grounded for quite awhile in waiting, but it'd be fine. There was a lot she needed to turn her attention towards. After losing her apprentice status, she ended up departing Mustafar rather quickly and had left her training in stand by. She needed to further her dive into the holocron, continue with the training sessions Gavin put her on, work on furthering her current abilities and contact Gavin again to set up the next lessons. So much to do, but now she had the time.
Entering her chambers, she knew where she wanted to start. moving to the center of the room and descending into the sunken section where the couch rested and took a seat. She sent a message off to Gavin back on Iridonia and waited for him get back with her.

Having received Luxeria's message, he responded, his image activating on her tabletop holoprojector. Looking down, he saw her sitting there on her couch. ::Luxeria, it has been a little while. I have to expect, I was expecting you to contact me sooner. Been busy?::

Luxeria watched as Gavin's image appeared above her marble coffee table. She was still satisfied with the results of the table's build. Taking a deep breath, she nodded. "You could say that. A few days after arriving, I went off on a mission that turned out to my final trial that allowed me to be elevated from an apprentice. After that, I ended up doing a few other things, had some things made, got involved in a pirate raid, and lost my ship. With that, I have more than enough time on my hands to get some training done."

::Well, I would say congratulations are in order for your elevation. But remember, it doesn't mean your training is over. Even masters have things they can learn and improve on. Of course, as you said, you have time to get more done. So, I'm glad you have the proper state of mind. In that case, I'll give you something else to begin working on. I've shown you the basics of combat. I've helped you establish a better ground for evasion, blocking, counters, and attacks. There is nothing else I can teach you. You have the knowledge, so that is left is to continue training and practicing to hone your skills. I've given you the basis to further enhance your connection to the Force and refine your control, even given you a state of mind to follow to aid in the effectiveness of some Force abilities. I already helped you establish understanding for both Shii-Cho and Makashi, not to mention your already spanning knowledge on Soresu and Ataru. The most I can recommend to you in regards to actual combat is learn utilize Jar'Kai, the art of wielding two sabers, and double-bladed lightsaber combat. So with that knowledge already there, or something you can easily gain on your own, there is only one thing I can start you on through holo projection.:: He ignited his saber so that Luxeria could watch. ::Learn to enhance your connection with your weapons and the Force to blend them and yourself into perfect unison. There are two approaches to this, one that follows the mindset of the Sith in using the Force as a tool or weapon and sharpening that skill and one that embraces the Jedi's mindset of being one with the Force and letting it flow through and around you. Now watch so you can understand what to do in each approach.::
He then went through a flow of lightsaber tricks and movements, showing Luxeria just what he meant by his words. After a few minutes, he ceased his actions and spoke again. ::The actions are yours to take. You must find your own rhythm and approach to this. Find your oneness with your weapon and with the Force so that you are always in sync.:: And as had become common when speaking with Luxeria, nothing else was said as his image faded from the holoprojector.

Luxeria listened as he spoke, remembering the lessons he had taught her during that last week on Iridonia. When he spoke of dual lightsaber and double bladed lightsaber combat, she knew she had started on the Jar'Kai path already. But it was the newest lesson that caught her attention. She watched in awe as he progressed through the movements of lightsaber control. Much of what he did didn't seem relatively effect in combat, but his words were more than enough to clarify what the point of this was. It was only about creating a oneness with her weapon and the Force. if she could connect and flow with it as easily as he made it look, he effectiveness in combat would be increased. She never got the chance to ask, though, for as quickly as he finished a spoke, his image was gone.
She scoffed with a smirk and a shake of her head. It had become his thing since she started training under him. Train her, say his piece, then just walk away, leaving her to contemplate and put together everything on her own. Maybe it was a lesson in and of itself. Then again, it could have just been Gavin. Either way, she had the next bit to add to her training regiment.

Having established the next phase of Gavin's lessons, Luxeria opted to dive into her holocron for a bit and see what else there was to learn from Ketsunum. Moving to the shelves, she removed the holocron from its resting place and sat back down on the couch. Focusing on it with the Force, she watched as it opened and the Sith appeared above it,
::Now that we've covered the abilities of mental control and manipulation, we'll begin discussing illusions. There are many types of illusions, each with their own application and effects. The first is Force Illusion. Using Force Persuasion as a stepping stone, one can craft illusions into the minds of those they have control of. These illusions become essentially real to those effected as it encompasses all senses of a being. You can trick others into falling into traps, make them see what isn't there. But you can't make nothing out of something. You can't hide something from view, such by the means of rendering it invisible, yet it can be hidden by crafting a new image over it. While the ability is in effect, you can partially see what they do and control the actions and movements of it. But this ability doesn't work on Force-users, those resistant of mind tricks, or droid brains.Not only that, but the farther you must display that ability, or the larger the picture, the more taxing it'll be on you.
Another technique is the doppleganger. This skill allows you to create a perfect image of yourself in the Force, and, unlike Force Illusion, isn't placed in the mind of another but given substance with the Force. As such, all can perceive it, even droid brains and audio and video feeds. With use of telekinesis, this copy can interact with the world around them and seem like the real deal. Another advantage of the ability is your capability to perceive all of your copies senses, making it valuable to send ahead to scout out a situation prior to actually going yourself. You can also use it to create duplicates of other objects just as indistinguishable visually from the real thing.
Next is Force Projection. This mysterious ability allows one to create an illusion, then program it to distract or lure an enemy. All are capable of viewing it and it could intercept incoming fire. The Sith ability, Force Phantom, is very similar as it uses Sith rituals to tether the illusion to a living creature, which would die if the illusion is destroyed. One could say that it works almost like a holocron.
Alter Mind is another ability, capable of shaping the minds of others and twisting their perception. It can also be an illusion placed in their mind to conjure the same effect, but in combat its effectiveness cannot be overstated. Organic beings rely heavily on their senses and if you can alter them, change what they perceive, you can lead them to their end with little effort. In combat, if you step into their minds just enough to alter how they perceive you, you can completely disrupt their ability to fight. In a simple means of explanation, you can make yourself closer, farther, or even in a different direction than you actually are. They will see you in the altered state and attempt to defend against that attack, leaving them open to the true attack. However, you must be wary how the way you use it and how much. Use it too much and your enemy will be able to work against you and push you out. Use it a particular way too often and they will be able to predict how to defend.
Finally, we end on Alter Image. This particular power allows you to change yourself. Your appearance, height, race, age, gender, voice, everything about you can be change to seem as if you are someone else. The more you know about the person being imitated, the better the appearance. However, if used against someone with receptive telepathy, and they may see through it, which will lead to a contest of skills.
That is all I will reveal to you for now. Remember that despite how effective grand illusions can be, always craft them to match the situation. You may find that a more subtle change is better. Now, meditate and work on these abilities.::
Luxeria sat back on the couch as the image faded from sight. She actually knew the doppleganger ability and what could be achieved from it. But with these other forms of illusions, she knew she could become even more effective in bringing others to their knees.

It wasn't long after Luxeria left to start training that Gavin tried to contact her again. There was a list of things he wanted her to work on, and while he'd slowly reveal and open these routes to his students, Luxeria was a different case. She was advanced in her skills, which meant he could push further in what he taught her. Their distance also made it difficult to just train her in every opportunity. That's why he wanted to pass all he could to her before she left to get her started, leaving everything else that didn't need him to be there to be discussed via holo communication. But trying to figure out the list of things for her to work on in one go tended to leave some holes that needed to be looked over and told a bit later.
With Luxeria out, all he could do for the time being was leave a message. ::Luxeria, there are many things that I'd like to teach you, to help you improve. However, in trying to convey as much as I can for you to work on until we can meet up again, things can be missed. In physical combat, there is nothing else to teach you. I have given you all the knowledge, all that is left is practice. But, as I told you years ago, work on enhancing your balance. Elevate yourself high in the air, use small things for footing, even have things at different lengths while moving quickly about them as if in a fight. Whatever it takes to further that balance. Next are particular abilities on the Force I want you to learn. Force Sight is a must. Jedi learn to use it to a degree in the early stages of their training to help them see when their eyes are left dark. Learn to use this as a second nature ability. You never know when you will be robbed of your sight. Next is Crucitorn. A skill that can be used to inflict pain in others, you can also use it to inflict pain in yourself. Sith use pain as a stimulant along side emotions to strengthen their abilities. When we meet, I will take that lesson further. And finally, like I mentioned the first time we met, learn to use Tutaminis or Force Absorb. It is a vital skill that can replenish your power in battle and keep you safe against attacks like Force Lightning. If you are to eventually face off with your old master, or any other strong Sith, it could be your saving grace. That is all. Otherwise, prepare you mind and body, train hard and keep pushing forward. Until we meet again.::

Luxeria said much of nothing on the way back to her room with Vasari in tow. She didn't even bother to think on whether her friend was serious or not in her final comment about touching books with dirty hands.Truth be told, she might not have showered, but she knew enough in washing her hands at the very least before handling much of anything.
Such was true when interacting with anything in her room. Reaching the door, Luxeria looked back to Vasari and gave her a small smirk before opening the door. Even compared to the locations they visited on Coruscant, Luxeria's chambers stood above them in every regard. Black marble floors, walls, and ceilings broken up by golden trim that was etched with interesting designs. The sunken section of the floor harboring a marble table and half moon couch. The full length windows making up the back wall, giving a clear view out to the terrain and the large holoscreen. Yet, Luxeria knew that the parts that would stand out to Vasari the most was the shelves and display cases. For the most part, they were all empty aside a few things. A wall display on the left wall closest to the windows held two saberstaves taken from two Jedi Brutes on Felucia and four single hilt lightsabers taken from three Jedi on Vandelhiem. On the central shelf rested her holocron, the necklace taken from Darth Vader's castle, and the Sith mask she had made while visiting Ifrit on Sullust, all on display for any to see. Just from these few things alone, it was easy to see Luxeria's growing interest in ancient artifacts.

Vasari was not hesitant, so much as careful as she stepped through the threshold of Luxeria's chambers. She looked around, careful not to brush against anything - leaving as small a footprint as possible even before she knelt by the entry way and unfastened her combat boots and left them by the door. She looked around the room, her eyes passing almost at once to the shelves of books and artifacts that Luxeria had collected and that sat displayed for anyone she wished to entertain to see. She moved carefully on the black marble floors, her bare feet leaving a gentle imprint of moisture that was made from the hot on cold surface coming into contact with one another for a brief moment before evaporating leaving no trace she had been there. she stopped at the holocron looking over it tilting her head slightly and giving it a quizzical glance before moving on to the necklace they had retrieved in the castle not far from here. She crossed her arms across her chest looking at the necklace before lowering her hands once again to her sides before turning back to look at Luxeria.
"You've got quite the minor collection started here... im a little jealous you have a holocron!"
She smirked at her friend and looked around for exits or anterooms that would probably house other rooms, like her bed chamber or the shower room.
These rooms were nothing like her own - mostly because she hadn't decided to move into proper rooms and at the moment simply had a room in the Barracks with the Soldiers.
Viox believed that she saw herself as above them and so she was set out to passively prove him wrong - also she had other reasons to be so close to Viox's army. Quietly she moved her thoughts passed this and began to unwrap the fabric around her chest as she glanced back at Luxeria.
"Will you be joining me?"

Luxeria stood in the middle just off from the couch as Vasari began to look around at what few items were on the shelves. She smirked, knowing that it would catch her friend's attention. However, she couldn't help but tilt her head at the mention of the holocron. She made it sound as if this was a holocron she had never seen, though it was the one Luxeria had carried with her after claiming it in Vader's castle. "Well, there were a few in Vader's vault, but you chose to go with the book instead. I took the holocron."
Luxeria only watched from there as Vasari began to move around the area, already stripping from her clothes as she set out to find the bathroom. Shaking her head, she moved across the floor, passing Vasari to head into the bedroom, where the full length windows continued. Currently, little existed here except for her large bed and a computer in the corner. Moving to another door further down, she led Vasari into the bathroom.
Large, it housed plenty of room for a Jacuzzi and shower that could hold up to four people each and still had room for the rest of everything needed a bathroom. Stepping into the center, she held a hand out to the Jacuzzi and shower before starting to remove her own clothes. "So which do you prefer?"

Vasari followed after her smirking carefully to herself as she removed the armorweave mesh wrap from her body and held it lightly between her fingers until she moved through the bedroom into the larger than expected bathing room. She raised an eyebrow, not really surprised at all at the extravagance of the place. After seeing where Luxeria grew up it wasn't hard to believe that this was her default. Vasari was starting to enjoy it. She placed the wrap on a nearby table as Lux held out her hands guesturing towards the two different options she had before her before beginning to strip down herself.
A devilish smile took her lips before it was quickly replaced by a look of sheer delight that she had agreed to join her and then set her mind to task of choosing. She made an over dramatic thinking face and looked back and forth idly playing with the waste line of the compression pants she wore, lowering them bit by bit down her hips as she swayed back and forth at the options.
"Jacuzzi's are for relaxing... showers are for playing... both are good for getting clean!"
She giggled softly finally shaking the pants down her hips and pushing them to her ankles before stepping out of them and moving towards Luxeria setting her arms lightly at her hips looking down only slightly into her eyes.
"I prefer the shower!"

Luxeria gave a shrug as she looked to the showers and used the Force to turn on the water, giving it time to finish warming up as she finished stripping down. "Shower it is then."
Standing by the door, she kept check of the water's tempature as thought came to her mind. She guessed Vasari wanted to enjoy herself and gave a little fun, but Luxeria's mind had been heavily focused on training and expanding her knowledge. And without her friend being around so often, it had left little in the way of discussing things. Right now, there was one question she was seeking answers to that Vasari could help shed light on. "So, a question for you. I've been studying up on a few things, and there's on topic that's eluding me a bit. What is the true difference between the Jedi and the Sith?"
