It would have ruined our friendship, I think, since she has never shown any indication she was interested in romance at all, let alone with another girl.
"And I sure noticed Zule a time or two. And there's something about Padme, something that is drawing me to her, just like it is you." Aayla shrugged, answering some of the questions she felt coming from Harry before he could voice them. "I don't know if I was always going to be bisexual, or if that is some carryover from our connection, and my interest in the male body besides yours went away because you're about as straight as a hyperspace jump. But it is what it is."
"So, so where does that leave us? I thought, I thought after we met up again, after our bond deepened so much and our hormones had been added in, that we wouldn't even look at other people. But I can't deny that I've noticed other girls…" Harry admitted, his projection looking a little shame-faced even as his arms went around Aayla's body, his hands falling to her hips. It wasn't as if Aayla hadn't already known that, but it was the first time he had actually admitted it. "And Zule for sure is one of the ones I noticed. I just, I…"
"Jealousy is one of the emotions which cause Jedi to fall, Harry, but with this bond, we both know what the other is thinking and feeling. Jealousy won't ever come into it, not on our end…" Aayla murmured while kissing Harry's neck, trailing kisses up his neck and chin. The feelings in their mental plane were almost exactly the same as physically, thought they hadn't gone any farther in the mental plane than in the physical one.
That didn't stop Harry from shuddering slightly, but he still nodded, his arms tightening around Aayla as they both reached the same conclusion. "If we both know about it and if we can somehow share this connection with someone else like we did Mother Fay then…then why not share?"
"Exactly, though we'll need to be slow about doing it, and…" Aayla replied.
"All firsts have to happen between us first, then we share them with others. And we need to make certain they know that…" Harry answered, the two now sharing thoughts so quickly they were finishing one another's sentences.
"It won't be like whoever it is would be secondary, not quite, but they would have to know it wasn't exclusive…" Aayla said with a smile, before Harry twisted his head down just enough to capture her still wandering lips in a searing kiss.
The two lovers found themselves back in the real world once more, as Harry pushed Aayla back against the side of the seat he had conjured, kissing her so ardently it took her breath away. He broke off for a second, letting them both gulp in air, murmuring, "And that, I think, is enough of the deep thoughts. Now it's time to go back to the romance…"
OOOOOOO
Deep into his mediation, Dooku had continued to go through his memories year after year, slotting them into place in his new mental plane, which in his case looked like a library. He had just gotten to an image of a Senate party he had been forced to attend with his old friend Sifo-Dyas, and suddenly gasped as the image of the banking clan chairman filled his mind, the words he had spoken to the two Jedi coming back to him with such clarity that Dooku knew the Force was telling him something.
The Muun, Hego Demask was his name, had attempted to warn the Jedi of the Senate, had talked about the Senate and the Jedi Order both falling into a trap of complacency. He had said that the Senate was collapsing in on itself, and the Order might follow.
There was more to it, but now, now Dooku sensed an undercurrent there, a current of controlled anger and avarice, even a hint of Force power which Dooku had not felt at the time. He knew. Dooku knew with certainty that the Force was telling him he had found the Sith Lord.
After a moment Dooku regained control of himself. I must be cautious. I must be centered in the Force before I undertake this task. I must prepare. I also, Dooku, thought, surprised to find a small smirk crossing his face, need to find the man in question.
With that in mind, Master Dooku absented himself from the training center, devoting his entire time to researching his target. Even now, however, the idea of asking for aid did not occur to him, or if it did, it was waved aside. Dooku might not have fallen to the Dark Side, but the guilt of how close he had come to doing so still haunted him.
OOOOOOO
Darth Sidious gasped, leaning forward in his throne as a trembling hand rose to wipe his face as blood streamed down from his nose and from his eyes. Now he was certain of it: having two masters was greatly dissipating the effect that they could get from the Veil. Yes, it wasn't quite strong enough for him to truly manipulate Jedi minds, if it ever became that powerful, but sending a specific force vision like that should've been easier. Sidious knew that he would have to spend an hour or so in the bacta tank to heal himself before once more donning his public guise. Nonetheless, it is done. Dooku knows about Plagueis and will take action against him.
All the connections between myself and Plagueis have been removed. As much of the superstructure of our Order is no longer connected to him as I can make it, although the Jedi might be able to discover some of his personal dealings with the Hutts and others. But the Hutts never saw my face, and they and others Plagueis have met have no notion of my existence. Dooku will strike, however he does, though I have no idea how he will go about it, and Plagueis will be removed.
