You've Got A Friend In Ni

"Still, your first assumption was not that I had seduced him," Ni says, smiling with gratitude, adding softly and emphatically, "you have no idea how much that means to me."

The Zeltron nervously picked at one of the leather straps on her thigh as she began the story. "Zeltron Jedi are very rare, and Zeltron culture is very different from Jedi ideals. As you already know, our race does not have the best reputation regarding self control, and I guess its for a good reason," she shrugged, "That is why the Alderaan academy wanted to get rid of me.

I was struggling with intimate urges towards my fellow classmates..." she smiled sadly and shook her head, "I wish he hadn't have tried so hard. Casting his lot with mine was the worst mistake he ever made..."
