He hates how he’s not good at keeping the panic out of his voice. Even as there’s a groan and a splutter and Kira’s shouts bleed out in the noise. The whimper. Electric blue and burning by his leg, when her hand finally falls, laser sword falling silent.

Lightsaber. Never called it that to her face. Laughs as he says that. Does he really say it though? His hands aren’t shaking but it feels like he is. Tweezers and Kira, keep her down. “Nona.” Once, twice. Rinse and repeat. “Come on, old girl, don’t close your eyes now.”

Shouldn’t make her laugh. First rule. Body twists and tightens and he needs to get the shrapnel out, now, before the damn Jedi tried to heal herself. Bury it under the skin. Infection and disease and long-lasting pain. Extensive and unnecessary surgery later. Had to do it now.

“Don’t tell her that.”

Talking again. Shit. Fuck. Sorry. Can’t stop the way it leaves him, as he moves and removes fabric and armour. Keep your eyes on me, gorgeous, is what he says. Thinks. Fills his ears and maybe those words are really coming out; maybe there is the saving grace of confidence right there. That he can pull it all back up again, and wear that personality out like it didn’t lose out to the prospect of—

He doesn’t care. He does. He doesn’t. He does. Thoughts that match the clink of metal falling aside, as Kira’s hands follow his path, catching the skin he misses, keeping her from moving. Tells himself, don’t look at her face. Keep that wall up, but he’s going to have to look soon. Possible scrapes. Still had to be treated.

Breathing getting softer. Her nails are digging into his thighs, as he has to. Dig. More than he wanted. All at once, Nona tenses, eyes squeezed shut, as she finally. Cries.

Esha the Outlander Empress

This is sort of a redraw of the 2017 piece on the right. I kept the outfit and most of the pose but changed the character design to be more distinct from her old incarnation which was just an old version of Rammas who is currently a very different character.
