Reya stood on her toes to see beyond the new comer, trying to find the 'other' person he was speaking of. Who else could he have been talking about when he said 'we'? After finding no one, Reya shrugged off the feeling that some other person may have been hiding from her. Instead, she continued her conversation with him.
"Yeah, I came here enough to get a job. What about you...guys...?"
Reya figured she would answer his question using the same tense that we did.

Now, Reya turned to face Valin, who now left to the other side of the counter. Gah, there goes my meat-shield, in case anything goes wrong. She thought to herself. Again, it seemed like Valin was a pillar of knowledge after he enlightened her on the ways of 'the Dark Side'.
"Well, I guess when you put it like that, it does make it seem bad. How could you decide, though? I'd want to do both and become the strongest."

Soneko couldn't help but snicker. That was the first time anyone had ever reacted that way. He raised his right arm and covered his mouth with his hand while he chuckled. He moved his hand away, showing an almost chilling smirk, though, as was his cold stare, was not intentional.
"There's nobody else here, Blondie. We've got more than one person upstairs if you know what we mean. And it's not a disorder, we had a few extra people fuse with us three years back."
He was sure he had confused the girl. Not many people understood that story due to the way he spoke. His left arm began to burn. He winced lightly and clutched his bicep with his right hand, his breathing becoming slightly heavier. This was a normal occurence lately. Sometimes his arm would act on its own. It was trying to right now, but he had it under control...For now. He let out one last breath and looked back to the blonde.
"We came awhile back, a friend of Deity's. We must say, if it hadn't been for our hatred for his brother's power over us, we would never have met Deity."
Soneko eyed the man sitting at the bar. Every male he ever saw, he judged only one thing...
'I could take him...' He thought to himself.

Valin looked at Reya, his eyes full of seriousness... and something else. Experiences, bad experiences. His eyes were full of fire and a hidden, dark past that certainly spoke something about him.
"You cannot master the Dark Side. You get a taste for it and it... it promises you an easier path, a road with less hardships and more immediate power than that of the Light Side. It will promise you greatness if you give yourself over to it, and you think you can be the master of its incredibly tempting power. But the darkness corrupts all things it touches and you will learn to act in rashness, in anger, in fear. You will learn to hate and see nothing beyond yourself. And in the end, you will look back and see that in your quest to obtain ultimate power and ultimate knowledge - you have failed. You have destroyed things you loved, slaughtered innocent lives, and betrayed everything you once stood for. And in the end when you have nothing left, the darkness has you for its own - it has become the master over you."
He passed a glance over the brooding man, he was rather creepy. Valin didn't really like him at this first glance. The Jedi gave a light mock shudder. With three lightsabers on his belt and the power of the living Force at his side, Valin had no worries.

Reya understood the concept of fusing, but never fusing people. She thought about the pros and cons of doing something like that, but dismissed it after something else broke her train of thought. Blondie. It was not a name she cared to go by, even as a nickname. Although, Reya felt that it was sort of her fault for not giving him anything else to call her.
"Well...ho-..wh-....why don't you all just agree on one personality? Is that possible?"

Reya felt that she knew Valin well enough to not expect any outburts like this, apparently she was wrong. This lecture came as a shock to her and she felt bad that it was her who envoked it on Valin.
"Oh...sorry... It would probably be best if I didn't know more. I feel that too much information could be a bad thing, you know? Like, I'd want to explore this 'Dark Side' more and try to understand it. But if what you say is true, then I think it's best that I don't."

Soneko watched the man out of the corner of his eye, sensing the physical sarcasm when the man shook. He smirked to himself. With what seemed to be a gust of upward wind flowing from below only Soneko's stool, came a transparent black aura, dark purple lighting spiderveining across it every few seconds. This was a non-verbal way of showing that what this man called 'The Dark Side' could be used and not tak you over. Sure, Soneko had lost himself and killed the first woman he'd loved, but that had nothing to do with the fact that his powers were dark. He also had a light side, though, but that was merely because his Guardian Angel had fused with him. Then again, why would he have--No need to worry about it. His hair swayed gently for a few more seconds, and the wind calmed, settling back down into nothing, his aura gone as well.
"Watch yourself..." Were the only two words he allowed to escape his lips to the man beside him.
He looked back to the girl in front of him and shrugged.
"Possible, but with how stubborn two of the three of us are...Wait..That sounds awful...We...He...Dammit..." He looked into her eyes for a moment, then sent his thoughts over to her.
'I can think as one person, but speaking is a different story. Now then, I am very stubborn, so is the other demon boy inside of me. We'd never agree on anything, so say the angel girl in me. So, I have an angel and a demon inside of me, with my own demonic blood to boot. Make sense yet?' He cut off the pathways that allowed his thoughts into her head.

Reya appears to have a better grasp on the situation. It seems there is a difference in what he thinks and what they do. She never encountered someone such as him and could not help but relate him to a hydra serpent, for obvious reasons. Although, after 'hearing' his thoughts, she realized he can not be all bad, considering there was some angelic figure inside him. Assuming, of course, that the angelic figure had influence over what he did.
"Well, I don't know how you do it. I have enough trouble controlling my own emotions, let alone two or three more."

Valin Lobel took a deep breath, calming himself, clearing his mind. A few seconds later, he started talking about - speaking in the cool and collected manner more acostumed to him. Basically, the proper manners of a Jedi Knight.
"The Force is something that has never been understood completely," He smiled lightly, looking at Reya, "Many of the greatest Jedi Masters have said that the Force was less complex when they first started than when they have become the visible symbols of our Order. The Dark Side of the Force is an enemy who constantly whispers in your ear, who offers its 'support' when it just offers lies."
He looked away from Reya, his voice slightly lower, "Perhaps these are just the excuses of a man too cowardly to face all the evils he has caused."
Again, he was silent, but quickly spoke up again, "The Light Side of the Force. When I used it earlier - that was the warmth you felt. It is a harder path I have chosen but these rewards are truely worth it. I act not for myself, but for others. As a Jedi, I give up the 'self' to see the bigger picture the Force has to offer us. A difficult path, indeed."
The Jedi justed ignored the other man. Perhaps he wanted to show his 'mastery' of darkness - but as Valin had stated, the only master of darkness was darkness itself. And it was a clever trickster able to offer the illusion of mastery to the person it wanted to use.

Valin was right. The Force perplexed Reya and now she had even more questions about it. Although, she kept them to herself; it was probably for the best, too. For now, she had to focus an mastering one art, let alone this Force that Valin keeps talking about.
"I don't think you're a corward at all. You said it forself, it takes a lot more discipline to follow the 'light' path. That takes a lot of strength!"

Soneko smirked yet again.
"No, no, no. They do their own thing. This body is just their host and channel for power. This body is under our control, other than our left arm. But that was one of our fellow Sinner's failed attempt to wipe out all traces of demonic blood in our body, making it simpler for him to annihilate us. Unfortunately for him, his power was useless against that of an angel's. The angel inside of this body protected us, but only to a certain extent. Our demonic blood was almost lost, and to keep it in, the angel needed to store it somewhere before it escaped. It was leaving through the right arm, so she sealed the animal inside of it. Now, the arm has a mind of it's own for the most part. If we don't let it out for a long amount of time, it gets itself out. It's useful when we're controlling it, but when we're not...Bad things can happen. Anyway, the two inside give us the power we need, and stay inside. The most they can do is argue."
He looked to the man beside him.
"Normally, we try not to let this arm do what it wants, but we might just test it out on you. Do you know what would happen? Because we don't. Let's find out, shall we?"
Soneko stood from his chair, the belts and glove around his left arm becoming tighter and tighter until the ripped open, revealing a bulging pitch black arm, with what seemed to be veins of dark energy flowing from his shoulder down to his wrist. The arm began to sprout horns across itself, bulging until it was five feet in width. Soneko lifted his arm and allowed it to jet forward, growing in length, his claws like talons. His hand jetted past the man and continued going until it slammed into a wall, causing it to cave in around his hand. The arm pulled itself back to it's regualr length and width and Soneko rested it back at his side.
"Be greatful we try not to let loose in front of women. Bad things happen when we do."

Valin sensed it in the Force, before it even happened. He wasn't surprised at all - the man or creature-man seemed quite uncontrolled. Valin merely shifted slightly as the arm flew past him.
Why did every idiot have to announce what they were going to do right before they did it? Good times - when smugglers or pirates would announce their amazing plans to kill the Jedi. Minutes long speechs that only gave Valin more time to plan and act. He had interrupted plenty by just carrying forth with his plan, using 'aggressive negotiations' to put an end to a speech and everything said pirate or smuggler was trying to do.
Blast first, talk later. Good motto. That didn't work quite well either though - after all, he was still alive.
Valin turned to the man, not seeming all that interested - though he was planning his never move. Though you hadn't seen it, a lightsaber rested in each hand, "Though I love these little games, I would prefer if we could all just get along."

For the time being, Reya shielded her eyes from seeing his arm sprout the horns. She could still hear what happened. Reya heard a loud crash, even though it did not sound like his fist came in contact with another human, for this she was grateful. The loud must have been him banging against the wall, which would have obviously left a large crease. Oooo, Fiece is not gonna like that, she thought to herself, but decided not to mention it to anyone else. I shouldn't be here to see how this turns out.
Reya got up from her stool and placed both of her hands together, right in front of her upper chest. She began to make several hand gestures before a cloud of smoke engulfed her and by the time the smoke disipated, she had teleported to her room on the thirteenth floor.
((Sorry, I'm tired. D: ))
