"Mmm, sometimes. Did you ever hear stories about Darth Jadus?" He might be
dead now, but gossip and rumor about Dark Councilors took up about 50% of
'serious discussion' in old Sith families, and he'd unfortunately
been sober enough to overhear at least some of it, before he got sent to
prison. And they--okay, everybody had always seen Jadus as a freak,
so of course he got talked about any time he did something in public.
"The Sith Code is stupid in so many ways, but it doesn't say
anything about anger or fear, just passion. An emotional
attachment of any kind can be a way to harness the Dark Side. I love my
work, I love my hobbies, I find the fights I get into exhilarating,
and it's all meant I can drop most of the fear-and-anger methods."
And it meant he could openly have a fruity, glowing drink in a club without
feeling like he was going to die of anxiety if anyone noticed him enjoying
himself. "Thank you," he said to the bartender, taking his glass.
