For Alexia, it was just another hot day on Korriban. Hot. Nasty. Dry. Dead. She went through days like today where she hated it so much, she could spit and walk off. But more often than not, she found herself almost ... content. This was the first place she had come when her freedom was bought in blood. And this was where Valentai had found her, only to make the girl who came seeking help for the newfound, hate-filled power into a young woman who had control, and strength.

Deciding being intentionally objectionable was only making her more irritable, Lexi stood and covered her face with the cloak's hood. She wasn't very big, so it looked rather comical. A child, trying to frighten, was a good comparison. Deciding to look for trouble, she moved inside, feeling the ancient wisdom surround her like a putrid cloud of old. It was rank, but sweet all at once. As she was pondering on what to do, she felt a tug on her mind.

Freash meat was entering the temple.

With a devious smile, Alexia followed the call. She was using her extra senses. So when her eyes saw him and her ears heard him, confirming her feeling. She waited until he felt her, and began stammering. ~Well ... this may be problematic ...~ She removed her hood, dark hair spilling out.

"Who are you?"

Alexia worked very hard to keep a straight face. She ignored his first name, and focused on the last. Allo. It would be easy enough to remember. She wondered if this frightable man had potential. He seemed a bit ... squeemish to wield the dark power. But Alexia wouldn't judge him on that quite yet. She had come here quite unsure of herself a little less than a year ago.

"That really depends on you, Allo," Lexi answered. "I can be many things. Your best friend, your worst enemy, your friend, or the thing that haunts you in your worst nightmares."

Alexia had not taken on an apprentice yet. She was one of the newest Knights in the temple, and had planned on waiting till she was a little older. She was just 17, but a little attitude had brought her a long way.

"My name is Alexia Preston."

"Magic? No. It's power. Feeling it is one thing, but using it is another entirely. If you think for one moment that it can be defined and quantified, you should turn around and leave. Now. The Force is something of a tool. Again, as most things in life, how it can work is all about who is using it, and how they do."

He was stammering less. That was good. It was bugging the hell out of her. She didn't like weakness. If Allo wanted to make it in this place, he'd have to step up his game. It was absolutely not for the weak.

"If you want to change your life, I can help you. But you will have to keep up with me. I'm not going to hold your hand and lead you through like a child. This is a sink or swim game."

Alexia sighed with a little relief as Allo began to calm down. She didn't think she was all that scary, really. Lexi's methods really didn't exist. But she didn't want to cater to new hopefuls. The Sith didn't need it, and she didn't have time. He would be her first Apprentice. Let's hope he lived.

"Follow."

Alexia turned and led Allo through the halls, not turning to see if he was keeping up. There was much to be done, and Alexia's patience was limited. Should he choose it, Allo could become strong. If he worked hard, Allo could become controlled. The ball was in his park.
