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.

"You warn others to not underestimate me. Very wise of you, Mara Jade. But you should not underestimate your friend, either." He got close to her, very close, his face mere inches from her own, his eyes meeting hers, as if they were looking through her to her very soul.

"If you did not come here to kill me, then I suggest you stop wasting my time. I have no further use for you right now. Don't worry - when I need you, you will know." He raised his presence in the Force, as if it were a dark, thick blanket covering everything, weighing it down. "Do not think that you can escape your destiny, Mara Jade. And you cannot keep Luke Skywalker from meeting his own, as well."

Mara stared at him coldly. "Trust me, I plan on warning more than just a few about you. You're not going to get a hold here, not without a fight," she snapped, green eyes blazing in anger right back at his. Her green eyes flashed in defiance, her mouth in a hard ridge.

"If I'm such a waste of your kriffing time, then stay out of my head," she added, her arms crossed in front of her chest. She had to remain strong, continuing her show of solidarity. "You have no idea what destiny is, you couldn't even prevent your own."

"You are a waste of my time. The information that's stored in your pretty little head is not." He laughed as he sensed her anger at him, turning away from her. "I have already made connections, my dear. People much like how you were - young, inexperienced, seeking power. One of them even believes that she is able to manipulate me. Even you should find that amusing."

He returned to his chair, sitting down, his eyes closing as he visibly relaxed in his chair, as if taunting her, completely unafraid of her weapons or her anger or anything about her. "I look forward to seeing you again, Mara Jade."

"You never gave me a choice, sleemo. There was no seeking of power from me, but everyone just has to conform to your sadistic view of the world, don't they?" she asked, her lip curling in disgust, before she turned, striding out of the room, her arms tight at her sides, the temptation to grip her weapon, turn and shoot him straight between the eyes taking over everything.

The one thought that kept running through her mind was that she couldn't escape the feeling that she had just done more harm than good.
