Resident Cripple
Location: First floor hallway
Who I'm with: HK-50-01
What I'm doing: Talking
Why'nn sighed but did not let go of the droid. "But that would put you beneath me. You are a friend, HK-50-01. If you choose to be at my side I am honored, but I am in no way a Mistress yet. I have barely seen 14 summers and my training has only just begun..." The idea of him serving her like that put her on the level of a tharchion or zulkir. She was neither. Not even a proper cleric yet. No. Perhaps one day she would earn the title, but she had not yet. And he was kind to her, so loyal. Already, it seemed, she was gaining some sort of command. Father would be pleased. The thought was not comforting to her, but she kept from shivering at it.
"I like the temperature you are now. No need for heat. I am not quite human." Here came the hard part. She should explain to him what happened, he, out of anyone, deserved that. But this would make him dislike Connor and, while she wasn't his biggest fan at the moment either, she didn't want harm to come to him. Lying was against her nature, though, so she knew she would say it. "I am... a created hybrid of human and a creature in my world called a visage. A visage is an undead evil outsider that gains the ability to use the form and identity of whatever it kills. It can create spawn by killing evil outsiders, like demons, but cannot create them from humans. When I was an infant my... Father combined me with the creature." Here she paused. Was she saying too much? No, this was needed to explain. "Until I was 8 I had no face. I gained this one from my first kill..." Again, she paused. She'd never told this to anyone. Connor hadn't asked and neither had Master. Why was she telling this story here and now?
"My Father spent the last three years trying to merge my soul with the visage. It was working but... in class Connor attacked the Sith on his own and she ran him through with her... sword. I was sparring with James when this happened and the visage started to take over as I was angered and lost control. Connor believed the thing in my mind an intruder or something that would kill me so he forced a barrier between me and it. It split my soul from the creature and... I am losing the ability to keep the appearance I stole as it was. My mind is not stable. He tried to get himself killed because he believes he wronged me. I lashed out at him for trying to leave me. For his weakness of trying to find a way out instead of standing by me in my moment of need. No, do not harm him. He has harmed himself enough for my sake."
Now Why'nn let go. She again glanced back the way Connor was headed. She couldn't follow. "I must go find the Sith. She is to instruct me on the use of my new arm." Another pause, this one longer. "Will you accompany me, HK-50-01? I enjoy your presence."
