She could feel the cool of the wall on her shoulder as she leaned just outside the Director's office, the slightest chill prickling her skin as she crossed her arms and waited to be called inside. It had been a few weeks since she had first arrived, delivered here by Knight Iscandar and Cadet Khoovi Wan from her homeworld of Devaron, and she had began to settle in. Lora had expected many things when she had joined the Empire, discipline, structure and to finally be a part of the greatest organization in the galaxy.

She was finally doing what she was meant to be doing, so why was she waiting like a scolded child? Like when her mother would send her to her room to wait for her father's return home. An hour ago she had been going through drills with her fellow cadets, most younger than herself - having not been held back by a parent who seemed far too comfortable pulling against the Empire's supportive hold - and had taken her pad out between instructions to check her holonet feeds. She was mid update when the device had been snatched from her hand by the Knight instructor.

There was a time and a place for everything, she knew, but it had all been so exciting so far, and she barely seemed to find time to update her followers. They were waiting for her LazerLora lore. Plus she would never not enjoy putting that rebbiescum LeiaLover11 in their place. People like that shouldn't be allowed to use the Emperor's holonet. Her pad hadn't even been returned after the drills were finished, instead she had been ordered to Director Esalis' office, and she couldn't shake the stone in the pit of her stomach. Her left one, to be exact. The right one felt like a fluttering horde of flewts had taken nest in it.

She didn't know nearly as much about Director Esalis as she did other members of the Empire, she wasn't certain she'd ever even managed to find a copy of her trading flimsi back when she was collecting them. Considering she headed Imperial Intelligence and she'd been sent here after having her personal datapad confiscated, she did not have high hopes that this was going to be a pleasant meeting.
