"Yes..." Rianna replies absent-mindedly. She turns around to face away from it when Vera-Kin asks her question. "That I want it back. It is mine, and even though I have Myraline's saber, it just doesn't feel right..."

"I see you are admiring my collection!" comes a sultry female voice as the Dame Gwylwyleth Astrune approaches, wearing a strapless black dress and her red hair up in a variation on the odango style, with four buns at the base of four ponytails. She is very fair skinned and freckled with piercing green eyes and a sharp jaw. "Welcome to my home, Master Jedi. I hear you request an audience with me!"

"I must admit to being curious about some of it," Rianna replies, still wanting to just take back her lightsaber. "But yes; there is something rather important we need to speak with you about, and thank you for agreeing to see us."

"You are quite welcome," Dame Astrune says. "Tineas informed me that you were worried about Dark Jedi infiltrating my home. Is that what you wish to discuss?"

"That is part of it, yes. The other part is what they would be after."

"We have been told that you have a certain artifact in you possession, a Box. The Dark Jedi we are searching for are after this Box, and I believe it would be an exceptionally dangerous item for them to have."

Dame Astrune chortles when you mention the Box.
"Oh my, General Hirget didn't send you to take it from me, did he?" she asks. "I told him the only way he could have it is if I were dead. I didn't think he'd seriously consider it."

"He told us that we could find it with you, but that is all. Nor would we, even had he done so. The Box itself I have no interest in. Keeping it from falling into the wrong hands, though, I do," Rianna replies. She pauses for a moment, glancing back at where her lightsaber is displayed.
"Out of curiosity - where did you get that lightsaber?"

"I was going to say, if your story were not true it would have made an excellent ploy to snatch the Box from my possession," Astrune says. "I can assure you that the Box is safe with me, Jedi."
When you ask about her lightsaber, she looks over at it. "Anonymously donated to my collection. Why?"

"Anonymously, of course..." Rianna mutters to herself, before replying to Astrune. "Because it belongs to me, and was taken from me by one of the Dark Jedi we are seeking several days ago."

Astrune raises an eyebrow at this, her smile fading a bit.
"I see you already have a lightsaber, though," Astrune says. "Are you certain it is yours? How odd it would be for that to have happened. I thought Jedi never let their elegant weapons out of view."

"The one I am currently carrying was loaned to me by my former Master, to use until I recovered mine or constructed a new one. And I am quite certain; I crafted it myself when I was still a child," Rianna replies.
"And no, normally we do not. I had been too injured to stop it from being taken from me, though, nor was I able to take it back. Believe me, I did try."

"I am sorry to inform you, then, that nothing can be removed from my collection," Astrune says, quite firmly. "You say that these Dark Jedi seek to steal the Box from my collection? They will not succeed. My collection documents artifacts reaching back to the first settlers of Ord Coridari. The Box is part of that history, as is the lightsaber. The Jedi fought for Ord Coridari's very existence; not to have something to represent their sacrifice here would be an insult to your Order in my mind."
As she talks she guides you through her collection towards one special plinthe in particular. Resting atop it on a pillow is what can only be the Box. It is small and black and square, with an ornate keyhole as its only descriptive feature.
"It would also be an insult to the Order to let this object leave the best possible protection this world can offer," Astrune says.
Vera-Kin, you make the connection. The Astrunian Guard, Tineas called them. This is that Astrune! There was a Corellian man by that name who befriended the Jedi Order long ago, during their trials against the Sith. He had invented a form of martial arts known as 'Bhesj Eharl,' or 'The Impatient Trickster.' The Order eventually rejected it as being too violent for their Knights to learn, and so he gathered disciples to pass it on to, including his own kin.

"I believe you may underestimate these Dark Jedi. I believe they would not stop short of killing everyone here to get their hands on it, if they needed to. I have no interest in removing it from here,' Rianna says, getting rather annoyed now. "And I fail to see how my weapon could possibly be a part of this planet's history, nor how I can be denied having something that was stolen from me returned."

"I believe you may underestimate my men and their art," Astrune says. "Anyone, be they Dark Jedi or lowly peasant, trying to steal from my home would find themselves unable to function after my Guard cripples them."
She smiles wryly when you begin to get annoyed about the lightsaber.
"I understand that the weapon itself may not be from Ord Coridari's history, but it is representative of the Jedi Knights that engaged the Sith here. However... I may be willing to give it to you, under one condition."

"Defeated me in single combat," Astrune says, smugly. "My Bhesj Eharl against your Lightsaber."

"You wish to fight me, unarmed, while I use my lightsaber?" Rianna replies, surprised.

Astrune nods.
"Is that a problem?" Astrune says.
