It amused Palpatine to no end, the way that despite her resistance to him, despite her shields and her barriers, he could still force his way into her mind. And to great effect - she was coming out in search of him, saving him the trouble of having Vader find her himself. It was almost too amusing.

He allowed his mind to be a beacon; calling to her, directing her on the right path to find him. After all, if she was going to pay him a visit, who was he to refuse? She would find him as anyone ever found him - seated in his chair, his arms resting on the arms of the chair, leaning comfortably back, the black robes he always wore wrapped around his figure, obscuring all but his mouth and chin.

A slight grin came to his face. "I have been expecting you, Mara Jade," he said to her as she approached him.

Mara wanted to vomit. She couldn't breathe in the cloying presence of her former master. The trip hadn't been nearly long enough for her to do a thing, and as she started walking towards him, her fingers brushing against the familiar metal of her guns, something comforting.

Her mouth curled down into a frown, and she bored holes into his head. It wasn't hate. It was annoyance, defiance, resilience.

"I don't give a kriff who you were expecting. I came for one reason, sleemo, and that's to tell you to get out of my karking head."

"But you were the one who let me in, all those years ago," he replied, a slight smile coming to his twisted face, as he looked up at her from his chair. "I must say, your head has been quite a veritable font of information, my dear...useful information, at that." He laughed slightly, watching her glaring at him, his yellowed eyes meeting her own.

"You wanted me in your head before. You reveled in my presence, in my praise. Where did you go so wrong, Mara Jade?" He could sense her resistance to him, her defiance; he would soon break it down. "Perhaps... No, that would be foolish, even for you."

"No," she sneered, her eyes hardening as his met hers. "It was manipulation. Lies," she said through clenched teeth as she stared at him. "I went wrong when I figured out just how much control you had over my every move. How much you lied to me, just to get revenge, which you obviously could have done yourself anyway" she mumbled the last part, an offhand, derisive slap in his face. Obviously it hadn't worked.

"I never went 'wrong', I just got a little too smart for you to handle."
