He watched the groveling construct, but with only marginal interest. It did not seem any more advanced than the Rakatan droids that had floated and skittered behind their masters, first extolling the virtues of the Infinite Empire, then screeching its wrath when Adas had rebuffed them. Perhaps this one could kill as well, but if it could, it hid that capacity more thoroughly.
He took the glass, studying it for a moment, dipping a grooved fingertip into the liquid. No poison that he could taste. Simply an abundance of alcohol. The smooth shell of his face retracted, sliding just far enough over his skull to reveal lips that were almost like those of a sith. "Clean and uncontaminated will suffice," he said, and his mouth opened but did not move as he spoke. Something not entirely like a tongue curled inside it, visible for a brief moment before he brought the glass to his lips and drank.
