built on hope.

@skywalkeir​ said: "You still want to kill me?" For Feota HDJFKFKF WRECK HIM

The Empress studies him, eyes cold as icicles and twice as sharp as her gaze pierces him. Weapons are drawn by her equotis standing behind him, but with a simple flick of her hand they are returning to first position.

Perhaps having a force user around wouldn’t be so bad. Oh yes, he could make an excellent addition to her taglatio --- if only he were guaranteed to comply. And it was not a guarantee, even in the slightest.

@skywalkeir​ said: "Judge me by my size, do you?" Luke is smol and fightey what can I say (for Vyrse)

They can only snort in response --- a reaction to trying to hold back their laugh. “Luke. We’re the same height.” Vyrse’s eyebrows raise in somewhat amusement, shifting their helmet from resting on one hip to the other. “Maybe you’re not used to seeing me down here with everyone --- that’s on me. I try to spend as much of my time as I can flying this thing.” They smile up at the x-wing they’d just hopped down out of --- straight into a misunderstanding with Skywalker, it seemed, but maybe it wasn’t meant as seriously as they’d interpreted it.

@cruenulum​ said: “  family isn’t who you’re born with, it’s who you’d die for.  ” ( for riyo! )

Quite the morbid thought, is it not? For how could dying for someone make you their family --- why, you couldn’t live to fill that position. Even so, Riyo understands the sentiment in her innocent way that she still understands things, and gives him a small nod.

@divinymph​ said: ‘ don’t give up yet. you still have time to fix things. ’ / feota

Feota always did admire Serena’s optimism. But at a time like this, the sentiment was futile. Fixing things was not an option anymore. The Empress was too far gone, nothing she did could ever make her people forgive her. Not anymore.

The realization came to her far too late ; that she was doing the opposite of what she set out to do so long ago, when she first rose to power. The Voterrans didn’t love her . . . they feared her.

The only way to fix anything . . . was to sacrifice herself.

@alorir​ said: “ that’s what happens when you’re being hunted by a stranger in a mask. ” for tiv

A stand off sorts, both sabers drawn. Why this mando seemed to have been following her, she was uncertain --- all she knew, was she had to lose him. Somehow, it was easier said than done.

Tivsi never lets her guard down for a second, keeping her sabers in position to defend herself if things were to go south. For now, it seemed the conversation might go calmly --- but one can never be too sure.

@divinymph​ said: ‘ it took me awhile to realize it myself, but you are not what other people say you are. ’ / tivsi

Tivsi knew what was said of her.     ---     How could she not? The looks she would receive at times, and the limits that were continuously being placed on her were telltale signs.

‘She’s unstable.’ they’d say. ‘She’s corrupted.’

But, she’s simply confused. She’s hurt. She’s ignored. How else could she react?

@shesdaylight​ said: “  i’m  fine.  i  can  walk  on  my  own.  ” / tivsi !

A groan of exasperation.

Tivsi didn’t like how reckless her new . . . friends . . . seemed to be. They reminded her of Porgs, running aimlessly about. It’s as though they were finally liberated . . . though, she would be in the same boat, wouldn’t she? Recently liberating herself from the shackles of the Jedi Order . . . perhaps she understands their excitement at their newfound freedom, but she has not allowed herself time for excitement.

@faithgunned​ said: “ i  want  you  to  know  that  you  can  count  on  me  to  protect  you . ” ( for riyo! )

A comforting thought, a calming thought. After hearing about the attempt on Senator Amidala’s life, Riyo began to fear for her own. Speaking up against the Separatists as often as she did, blackmailing the Trade Federation, and many more acts of courage she’d performed these days could have easily made her a target as well. Though uncertain about the exact details on why her friend was targeted at her conference on Alderaan, it was enough to raise her anxiety levels.

@starbrd​ said: “ sit  down .  shut  up . ” (Ezra 👉🏽👈🏽)

Caught red handed! Ezra didn’t mean any harm, just wanted to fix up that portrait Sabine had made of him and Zeb. Or at least wanted to try to, he’d hardly got started when he was caught, spray paint in hand.

What was his plan anyway? He could probably only make it worse.

@debelltio​ said: ‘  you  want  a  better  story .  who  wouldn’t ?  ’ // FEOTA

“Pardon?”

A better story? Why, Feota could laugh at the claim --- for what better story could be told than one of the woman who conquered a planet and cheated death? She could hardly think of one . . .

“You are mistaken, Krennic, and I’ve hardly an idea where you got such a notion from.” Despite the lighter tone she used in addressing the man, she was quite cross with him.

@shesdaylight​ said: "i wonder if little bunnies know that i just want them to feel safe around me. i really just want to be their friend; one day, i hope that i can sit beside them without scaring them by accident." / for anyone she just wants to be everyone's friend

Vyrse furrowed their brows together as they looked over at the girl sat beside them. They can’t recall when she’d even gotten there, truthfully --- too worried about how they’d ever make it back home with a busted hyperdrive and barely enough fuel. It seemed she was one of those lost kids, from that camp they’d made an effort to steer clear of --- they weren’t in the mood to fight a bunch of children, and they all seemed like the fight-y type.

Might not hurt to find some friends in them, though.

@jediincapax​ said: “  flowers  grow  back  even  after  the  harshest  of  winters.  you  will  too.  ” // Chuchi

Though built for the cold, a shiver ran down the spine of the Senator. The Chairman was dead, and she spoke on her own behalf for the first time, to make peace with the Talz. Two incredible things happened on this day, but now that the moment had ended, Riyo felt . . . guilty, somehow.

It was clear that her worry, the fear that comes with losing the one you looked up to for so long, was evident on her face. Why else would the Jedi have spoken up in such a way?

“Thank you, Master Kenobi.” She manages to whisper. “I appreciate it, truly.” But . . . would she be able to grow without his guidance? Or is she better off, as she’d always suspected she might be without Chi Cho barking at her? Of course, the idea always seemed like a desirable reality . . . but now that it IS reality . . .
