#mortis is also canny enough to see where the winds are blowing imo and he is canonically capable of going so i was wrong

You never asked, Mortis, why I chose to be loyal to you in an Empire of schemers and traitors. You, a traditionalist who opposed Darth Karrid, who disdained aliens.

You changed my mind on a great deal of things, Calumnia. You spoke your mind, I disagreed, and time proved you correct. On multiple matters.

Careful, that was nearly an admission you could be wrong.

Upstart youngling. I was wrong about Karrid. I wasn’t wrong about you, though. You’re a snake, and a threat to Sith tradition. A reformist, of all things.

Mmm. You almost sounded proud. You have changed.

#oc: darth calumnia #swtor ocs #sith inquisitor #YES mortis is OOC here but this conversation is after like 6 years of cal being his spymaster and unofficial advisor #i wanted her to have a mentor and it needed to be someone who opposed thanaton but didn't really have a fandom presence #mortis is also canny enough to see where the winds are blowing imo and he is canonically capable of going so i was wrong #so she may have originally just been a conveinent and well trained pawn #endgame is like sometimes your found family is several dark lords a handful of ciphers and also the barsen'thor #just because thats like so funny to me. yes calumnia and her sister cordatus organize a political movement #yes they really put their roots down in the empire and start trying to reform it #and yes calumnia is stupid over a jedi master #darth umbris doesnt have shit to do with the politics; shes just there to be intimidating and violent #rowans doodles
