Aria frowned thoughtfully as she considered Yerbol's theory that there was a way to use the Force without it being either Light or Dark aligned. The suggestion seemed farfetched to her, but he claimed that the Jedi had written records in their archives that said otherwise. She wasn't sure if he wasn't just stretching the truth a little. 
"But...that's not possible." She muttered in protest as they started along the next tree-enclosed pathway. 

"Raw Force power? The Force can't exist without there being Light and Dark. It's why you Jedi are always chirping about all that 'balance and serenity' bullshit, isn't it?" The acolyte's features creased into another toothy grin, her thin eyebrows disappearing into her hairline.

As they trudged onwards, the level of heat steadily increased. Sweat began to bead on her brow, dripping down into her eyes, which she reached up to swipe away with the back of her hand. 
"Shit, it's hot out here!" Aria huffed, her strides slowing considerably. Yerbol was starting to falter as well, also suffering under the heat. 

It wasn't long before he was spitting expletives and shedding layers like a drexl shed its skin, until he was left in just his pants and his cotton undershirt (sleeves removed and discarded with his outerwear). 
She tried not to stare, which was difficult given the impressively toned musculature that his shoulders and forearms sported. The suggestion of stopping went down well, Aria slumping against the tree trunk immediately beside where Yerbol had taken cover. The heavy boughs of the trees provided just enough shelter from the blistering sun rays to prevent the duo collapsing with heat stroke then and there.

"[i]Karkin[/i]' hell!" The Sith gasped, throwing aside her own cloak and the reinforced leather vest that protected her torso. "This place is...hotter than Korriban and...Tatooine put together!" They should have brought more water with them, in hindsight. If only they had known. "Nice of them to...tell us the planet would be covered in...magma." She scoffed, though how were the Jedi to have known? No one had come out this far, not for a long time, at least as far back as Revan's second disappearance.
