This question explains a lot. He was afraid of the Jedi, and it was because of what they did to the Sith during the Hyperspace Wars. Deanna couldn't even comprehend holding a grudge from that long ago.
"Genocidal isn't the world I'd use to describe the Jedi. Useless, more like it. But the Sith are worse. Way worse. They're the genocidal ones. You wanna know why I'm going to Alderaan? Because right now they're wiping out whole nests of Kiliks. Sentient beings. Weird, slightly terrifying sentient beings that haven't been seen in thousands of years that have brainwashing pheromones, but sentient beings deserving of life nonetheless. Then there's Katarr. Dantooine several times, Telos. The Sith bring out the worst in the Jedi, but they do it by being the worst themselves."

"When you say Sith, do you mean the red skinned people or the Jen'ari?....do you mean the people or the Lords and Ladies....the 'force' users is what this one thinks....Killiks? The Sith that we have are rather docile...they...sometimes fight...but not as often since the Jen'ari left them..actually they are quite peaceful without having a particularly violent overlord. The only real issue is the Massassi, but we figured out what to do with them. They make rather good combat instructors.
This one knows that name....Killik....Killik....oh...OH ....KILLIKS....insectoid like things." Risanith went into deep thought for several minutes, "I think they had some form of contact with my people....and then they died. Thats all I know anyways"

"I mean the people who use the dark side of the Force, Sith code, through victory my chains are broken, mostly human and the other species what are common in the galaxy, major Oedipal complexes and daddy issues, think their lightsaber will make up for certain perceived inadequacies in their reproductive anatomy Sith. Not the red skinned Marka Ragnos, Hyperspace Wars, actually a separate species kind. I could be these kind of Sith. You could be these kind of Sith. I hope neither of us have the sort of psychological issues that make a Sith. But it has been a while since I've seen a therapist."
Deanna's a little weirded out that he knows about the Kiliks, but if he operated in the unknown regions of space for a couple thousand years, it made sense. "Well then, that's pretty much as much as I know myself. The Sith unearthed a bunch of them on Alderaan, a bunch of live ones and now they're rampaging. I sent one of my people to go see if we could use them to free Alderaan and they err, 'Joined' him."
Her voice gets real low. "It actually really worries me, and I'd really rather find a way to rescue him? But it's like he's a whole different person. They're absolutely tearing through the Sith, and the enemy of my enemy is my friend, but I'd've really rather got the Wookiees on my side."
She leans back. "But I guess the Force has something else in mind. As I said, the Force is a right bastard sometimes."

"Maybe it would be better not to ally with these Killiks, my people have a saying 'don't sign a deal with a Jen'ari', basically don't sign a deal if they want more then you are willing to give, especially in this case, when it would change you.....whats Oedipal complex?" asked a puzzled Risanith.

"Ha! I suppose that's wise, but right now, Corellia needs all the allies she can get. And even if I don't ally with them, at least I'd like to understand them? Or at least convince them to swarm at the Sith, not swarm at us. And I'm not bringing them to Corellia. They can . . . they can just stay on Alderaan. Alderaan needs liberating too."
Deanna sighs when he asks about Oedipal complexes. "It means they want to bang their distant, cold and uncaring mothers. It's widely discredited in the psychiatric community, but I think it explains way too much about the Sith. Especially since it seems to hit quite a nerve with them. Stoking all that rage makes them very oversensitive to even the most out-there insults. My parents are psychiatrists, and I still think that if they kept them on in the military, Revan and Malak wouldn't've started this whole mess. You probably don't know Revan and Malak. They're the ones who started this current round of Sithiness. You know the Mandalorians?"

So many details, they confused Risanith as he heard names being thrown right and left. "What precisely does bang mean? This one does not understand what you mean. This one does not know what 'Sithiness' is, nor Mandalorians. The names Revan and Malak this one does know of, they were taking over the Republic fifteen...seventeen of your years ago if this one remembers correctly, right?"

And of course he had to ask the most awkward questions possible. "It's a slang term for . . . listen kid. Thousand year old kid. Whatever. When people love each other very much, or when their hormones are into it, they have sexual relations. Uhh, birds and bees . . . uh, incest, which is having sex with someone related to you by blood, like your mother, is frowned upon in most cultures. Tends to produce uhhh . . . genetically questionable offspring . . . you know what I'm talking about."
She decides to get off the topic of banging and incest, and hoped that he would stay off that subject too. "The Mandalorians are a very warlike people who tried to conquer the Republic a few decades past. Revan and Malak were Jedi who rose up to fight them. They won, but then they went into the Unknown Regions and came back as Sith. And their followers came back as Sith. See, we had a good while since Exar Kun started up his own Sith. Then he came back from the dead and ruled these Sith for a while. But I hear he's now dead-dead and Allia of all people is ruling the Sith, but I'm not sure I believe it. Sith have an annoying habit of not staying dead."

Risanith took a lot of offense at being called a kid, he had taken his trials, he was no longer a young one, but a fully fledge adult. Talking in slow delibrate tones, to make sure he was understood, "I am NOT a kid, what ever I may or may not be, I am a adult for my species, I took my own trials, so if you will please refrain from calling me a 'kid'. and by your standards its two and a half thousand years, not a thousand."
"Who is Allia, a friend or ex-friend of yours?"

"All right! All right! Sheesh k-adult. I'll stop." She puts up her hands defensively. "You're inquisitive. I can respect that. I won't call you kid again."
"Allia, or Darth Sjena as I guess she's called now is . . . I wouldn't call her a friend. More of a friend of a friend. Or an enemy of a friend. She currently leads the Sith Empire, which I find funny, since we're about the same age, she and I. She had a crush on one of my Jedi friends, and expressed it by trying to kill him. Real whack job, that one."

"If it helps you any to think about my age, I'm the age just past your legal adult age...eighteen this one thinks, so think of this as being nineteen or twenty of your years old."
"This one is going to take a guess and say you do not mean crush literally."
"This one is curious, as this one has only heard anything about the Republic....galaxy...this part of the galaxy....what you would consider to be 'known' galaxy, from second hand information passed from other traders for the past thousand years. Also this one is something of a scholar" Risanith's eyes slightly glaze over as he thinks back to his vast libraries back home "so many books and scrolls...and data....so many artifacts...."
Losing himself in thought, he realized he was being rude. "Sorry, this one really like books and misses his libraries."

"Well, I guess that's something we have in common. When this is all over - if this is ever all over - that's what I'd rather be doing. I wish I had all my texts with me so that I could show you all these things, but they're all on my ship, so I'm pretty sure they all burnt to death. Sadness."
She sighs mournfully. "Alas. But I don't think I had any basic texts on the history of the Republic or anything very general like that. I know I have an account with the University of Alderaan to access their libraries. We go there, go to the library, liberate the planet, it'll be an adventure. You haven't seen the Republic until you've seen the Core Worlds, trust me. Especially the ones where the people were smart enough not to build ecumenopolises." She realizes he probably won't understand the term. "A city that covers an entire planet. No rural places, no farms, no wilderness. Not a wise development plan, I always thought."

"This one has seen planets like that.... more then a few of our colony worlds prefer to have that which you call ecumenopolises. The homeworld is large enough that could never happen, if one were to look at it from orbit our massive cities are bare specks on the planet." Risanith suddenly jumped, not literally, but more like a jolt, "this one accidentally mentioned the worlds....erm, could you forget anything you heard?"
Gaining something of a nervous-ness to his face, Risanith tried to change the subject, "So are you something of a fellow scholar as well? Hmmmm... If you ever prove yourself to be of absolutely no trouble to the Talortai, hmm... I suppose, you have so far since you did save me.... and Fred did seem to think highly of you....hm... some day this one could show you the Talortai archives, although there would be some very heavy resrictions on your visit, if it was approved in your life time. We have archives going back several galactic years, even if our years are slightly shorter then your galaxy's years, since our galaxy is smaller...so it would be...at least several hundred million of your galactic standard years....this of course is if you are interested, are you?"

Deanna tries to forget what she heard. Maybe she will. Maybe she won't.
"Oh, definitely, but I'm a little busy now. In case you haven't gathered, there's a bit of a foreign occupation problem on my homeworld. At the rate the revolution's going, I'd say I'll be about a couple thousand years or so and your people'll let me in. Unfortunately, at the rate I'm going I don't anticipate living past 30. Though I probably would've wondered if I'd live past 20 ten years ago. I probably sound like a small child compared to you, don't I?"

The irony of being the one called a child a little while ago was not missed by Risanith, "Why didn't you think you would live to twenty if this one may ask?"

"Because I'm not very good at thinking ahead. Live in the moment, I always say! Or not. Maybe that's just me making up for my inability to think ahead or pay attention or make good long term plans. Or maybe it's because I'm a mysterious Jedi master who always speaks in riddles!"
She holds up her fingers and wiggles them to emphasize "mysterious."
"Ooooooooh! Mysterious!"

One of Risanith's eyebrows shoot up, clearly giving the look of 'I am NOT amused',
"You did not tell me you were a Jedi Master."

Deanna frowns back at him, looking even LESS amused, but at the same time, INCREDIBLY amused.
"No, I'm not a Jedi Master. I'm a Force God! Fear me, lesser mortal, for I am the Force made flesh!"

Risanith stared at Deanna, giving her the same stare she was giving him, just without amusement.
"I am immortal"
Risanith said this in slow deliberate tones.
"Short of having my heart or brain ripped out or destroyed, fully destroyed or incredibly rare, flesh eating diseases, I will never, NEVER die, I'll just regenerate. Thereby I AM immortal. "

Deanna rolls her eyes and groans. "Ughh. You're no fun, Mr. 'I'm Immortal.' What's the point in pretending to be a god if people go and take you seriously?"

"see this is amusing for this one, because amongst my people if this one says that it would go like so 'this one is immortal!', to which others would respond with 'yes, so are all of us'. With you creatures with finite lifespans, our response is usually 'holy crap you are?!?'. That is the point."
A minute long pause ensues as no one has a response.
"So...you mentioned you are quite adept at the 'Force', could you teach this one some of your tricks?"

"Eh, I can do a few tricks, I guess." She lifts up a few tools with the Force and starts juggling them in the air without using her hands. "It's all just mind over matter."

"Some of my people chose to learn it, others don't particularly care to learn. They all eventually do if we live long enough...boredom forces you to."
Pausing to thinking
"I've never tried to consciously use it, this one did by accident in our little incident on the landing pad"

"That's not uncommon, among the Force sensitive. My grandpa was a Jedi, so he sensed potential in me before I ever did stuff by accident, but I know several people who would do things by accident before they got training."
She sighs and tries to figure out how to explain any of this. She tried to imagine herself as a wise teacher, but it seemed false. But he seemed eager to learn, and who was she to deny him?
"All right. Close your eyes. Let go. Reach out and feel the Force, the single thing that is All. The broken barriers between you, me, the hull of the ship, the dark matter outside it, the atmosphere inside, the particles of the air in your lungs."

Risanith closes his eyes, and starts to focus inward. He has found consciously the Force before, but he had never done anything with it before. There was a huge difference from knowing where to find it, and from accessing it and using it. As he reached for it, for lack of a better word, he found it like he had previously had when he had done it out of boredom. Yet for some reason it was easier to find it now. This was odd. The only reason he could think of was the fact he had unconsciously used it recently.
Talking with closed eyes, "Okay, what now?"

Deanna shushes him. "Focus! Focus on, uhhh . . . the blaster in my hand." She takes her blaster out of its holster.
"Don't worry, it's fake. It doesn't even fire so you won't break anyone or anything. But keep your eyes closed! It's easier when you can just focus on the Force alone without mere sight getting in the way."
