She said no harm would come to her, but she had no way of knowing Elsa's real fear was harm coming to others. All because of her. This being that had brought them to this place would soon see what a mistake it was. It had to. This wasn't right. She'd had a hard enough time adjusting in Arendelle, and that was home.

Though she gave a sarcastic little laugh, she accepted the drink as her breathing slowly started to steady. "Some powers have no advantage." Which wasn't entirely true. She supposed with enough thought she could see the advantage of her skills. But they certainly hadn't served any positive purpose in the past several years.

Slowly she sipped at the drink in her hand, grateful that it didn't taste too out of the norm. Some things of this new world and time were too much too quickly for her. "Thank you," She finally said, her voice a bit hesitant.

Like many things, fear could be used. Better to use it yourself than let it control you. If she was reading her right, there was fear in the way Elsa stood. Back in the Empire, she would have to learn to control it, or die. That had been the way of the Sith. A way that Lomea had wanted to change and a line she'd toed for years. Somewhere between the utter madness and stupidity that was the Sith and the disgusting altruism and self-righteousness of the Jedi.

"Perhaps you've not found the advantage, yet. Give it a little time." Lomea swept her hand down the hall. "Would you like to go for a walk? I believe they have some kind of arboretum or botanical garden. It might help set you at ease."

A walk. She could do that. "Are we allowed?" It felt a strange thing for a queen to be asking. But this wasn't home. Maybe it never would be. Not really. Truthfully, she didn't want to settle in. She wanted to be home, making up for over a decade of missed time with her sister and exploring her castle. Instead, she was in an entirely different world, with people like this one - Lomea, her nametag said - who looked at her as if they knew her. As if she hadn't spent the better part of her life avoiding letting people know her.

There was, admittedly, a tiny streak that wanted to visit those gardens whether they were allowed or not. She'd spent her whole life trying to be perfect, preparing to someday take the throne. A little hint of rebellion never hurt anyone. Right?

"You are a queen and I am a Sith Lord," Lomea told her. She'd noticed the scratched out word and a member of the Dark Council really did only answer to the Emperor.

She flashed a rebellious grin of her own before offering Elsa her arm. If nothing else, she showed no fear. "We go where we want."

Lomea had gotten herself into trouble more than she could count by both going where she wanted, and making unusual acquaintances.

Though her cheeks flushed slightly, Elsa spared only a glance down at her nametag. She supposed she could have been more thorough in crossing it out. It wasn't that she wasn't proud of her title. She just hadn't exactly gotten time to use it.

She did not, however, accept the offered arm. She couldn't touch anyone, not when she was like this. Her powers were erratic at best, and this was not best. This was more towards worst. Still, she did start walking. "What's a Sith Lord?"

Maybe talking about someone else would help keep her calm. Help keep that magic at bay.

Lomea said nothing about the slight, simply dropping her arm. Another Sith Lord might have gotten angry. Lomea sounded matter-of-fact. "The Sith control a vast empire, stretching across thousands of star systems. Those within the empire who show the necessary powers and personality are trained. Those who survive the training become lords. Those who are ambitious and cunning enough, obtain the title of Darth. I had my own fleet, a seat on the Dark Council. And I did it without the usual body count. I suppose I remembered what it was like, before I was Sith."

She walked along with Elsa, folding her hands into the sleeves of her white and red robes. "Tis better to be loved, than feared. Wouldn't you agree?"

People were more loyal that way.

So she'd worked for her title. Trained for it. Meanwhile Elsa was there, having been born into royalty and almost throwing it away. Admittedly, looking back on it, she felt a cold chill at the thought of Hans in her throne. Anna she would have been fine with, but that man? Absolutely not.

"So you're used to space, then." That seemed so strange to her. That there were many others used to this sort of travel. To her, space had always been where she could wish on stars. Where the sparkling lights held her attention on lonely nights.

Better to be loved than feared. She once again got the feeling that Lomea knew her more than she let on. "I've always been feared. It was never my choice."

"I am. It was my only home for a time." Lomea missed her personal ship. Though it wasn't all that warm or inviting it had been useful. It had felt like home, at a time when it had been the only place she had, before she'd become Darth Imperius.

"Fear can be useful." Lomea stopped in front of a door. It opened when she waved her hand in the direction of the controls. "To hold others in line. To give yourself something to focus on. But you cannot let it control you."

She smiled, one corner of her lips quirking up. The Force told her much, though not everything. She had to guess a lot of the time. "It is so easy to let it control you. Clearly, you do not wish this. So what is it you wish? Perhaps I can help you. This is not well know, but I was afraid once."

True to her word, the room was filled with plants. Flowers and ferns, and even a few trees. One of the botanists was on duty, and she nodded at him.
