The Sith acolyte pondered over Yerbol's words as she followed him down the exit ramp towards the two stern-faced Jedi Masters that waited to meet them in the docking area of Taris. On first appearances alone she had to admit she was no more keen on them than any of the Sith Masters she had made acquaintance with but perhaps it was the way they were glowering disapprovingly at the odd pair that gave her that impression. Aria tried to shake it off and out of habit did her best to keep her awkward limp to herself, having been trained to do so and to not outwardly ask for help unless it was offered first. She seemed all too glad to sit down when invited to do so as they reached the private room. Aria kept her gaze fixed on the star map rather than focusing on holding either Master's gaze, it made her uncomfortable to look them in the eye and she had to admit it was hard not to look at it when she could almost feel the dark energy rippling off the sphere... "I can assure you it's a map, yes." the acolyte confirmed. "But I doubt it would open for you, at least not like that." she tried to maintain the same arrogant and indifferent persona she had used with Yerbol but it was clear that she was intimidated by the two stronger Jedi. "When we..." she swallowed uneasily, clearing her throat before continuing. "...we found it, it was on a pedestal. It opened after we got closer to the pedestal, when Yerbol took it off, it closed it." Aria had to wonder whether it would open for a Jedi at all, after all, it [i]was[/i] a Sith made artefact. "I wouldn't be surprised if you had to be a Sith to get anything to happen with it at all, to be perfectly honest...Ma'am." there was a pause as if she were considering whether it was appropriate to address Master Shan in such a manner before she attempted a polite bow of her head, crossing her injured ankle over the opposite knee. "We were fighting before we stumbled onto it, it's highly possible that it's activated by reading the counts in a person's blood or some other such alchemy, which I haven't the knowledge of or the liberty to speak of." She was vaguely aware of the dangers of giving away such information to their enemy, but Aria had heard stories of Jedi interrogation techniques and she knew it was highly possible they could pull the information from her head just as easily some of the members of the Dark Council often did when they wanted to know something. The last thing she wanted was a Jedi crawling around through her memories and helping themselves to anything and everything they pleased. Therefore, telling them what they needed to know even if it was in the most basic form possible, seemed the better option. It may get them to trust her more, too...
