A dreadlock of jet black hair, streaked with tendrils of electric blue like some hirsute version of blue-vein cheese, fell across Khaen's face as his fingers flew over the keyboard. He tried futilely to blow the lock from his face, then reached up to tuck it back into its place with a sigh.

Falling back into his chair with a second deeper sigh, Khaen resigned himself to failure. "I give up," he muttered to himself.

The new Drynwyn's Flame elite phyle Tetrarch had been trying to hunt down the meaning of the word Drynwyn on the Holonet for two hours, with no success. Just who or what was this "Drynwyn" that the elite phyle of House Acclivis Draco took its name from? He had not wanted to approach Quaestor Sabe or any of the other clan leaders, a reticence grown not just from pride but also from a desire to research things for himself, a quality present and infinitely desirable in most students of history.

Hearing a nearby door swish open, Khaen stopped feeling sorry for himself and got up to see who had entered.

He grinned when he saw his new XO, Guardian Aeishline Strathaven. She had been out and about making plans for the entrance trials for prospective elite tyros. Until more members transferred into Drynwyn's Flame, it was just Aeishline and Khaen inhabitating the elite quarters.

"Hey, Aeish," greeted Khaen, flicking the lights on with a wave of his hand. He liked to work in the dark.  

"What's up, Tetrarch?" the young human woman replied, flopping with a sigh on the couch.  

Khaen shrugged. "Pretty bored actually."  

A grin formed on Aeishline's pretty (by human standards anyway) face. "Want to do the usual?"  

Khaen smiled. "Sure."  

*Jump to the end of the report to find out what 'the usual' activity is!"*

*Fiction continued*

"Cool, I'll get the equipment," Aeishline said, walking over to a storage cupboard.  

Khaen raised his arm with a swiping motion, and the assorted junk on a coffee table at the other side of the room fell to the floor. MSE droids would sort it out later. With a series of fluid movements of his right hand, Khaen lifted the table through the air and deposited it between the two couches of the phyle's rec room. Most Dark Jedi preferred to perform telekinesis without any physical gestures as accompaniment, but Khaen had his origins in rudimentary 'magic' study as a member of the secluded Djeth sect in Chiss territory and had learned basic telekinesis accompanied by archaic gestures. He had never been able to leave this habit behind, nor did he want to; it gave an air of mysticism and romance to an otherwise grisly profession.  

"Here we go," announced Aeishline, returning with a box containing the equipment needed to play sabacc.  

"Let the games begin!" Khaen said with a clap of his hands.  

(Author's Note: You dirty, dirty people.. I know what you were thinking :P)
