Mara Jade

Corran Horn: No way.

Time hasn’t been kind to the once great warrior of Mandalore. Loss, war, and grief all played a part in making her bones and her soul ache. She was tired.

At the present moment she was alone and trying to work up the courage to tell her sister that she would be retiring her status as general of the Mandalorian army. Their time spent on this diplomatic mission to Coruscant was coming to a close and she knew she didn’t have it in her to continue.

She was so lost in thought that she barely registered that someone was talking to her.

Her head turned toward the voice and her eyes widened.

She wanted to believe that the person in front of her was the very person who she had been thinking about moments ago. But every signed pointed to her daughter being dead. She had searched for years and the only explanation for her coming up empty handed was the fact that he daughter was no longer alive.

She was feeling so much anger, sadness, and hurt but all she could do was grab her daughter by the neck and pull her in so that their foreheads touched.

Still…she had to be even more sure.

Regardless, she grabbed the girl by the scruff of her neck and led her into the nearest isolated alley way.

With reflexes only a Mandalorian could possess, she took out her vibroblade, grabbed the poor girl by her collar and slammed her against the nearest wall with her blade pointed at her neck.

“May I have this dance?”

“May i see you afterwards?”

“You look splendid my lady/ sir.”

“I didn’t expect to see you here.”

“May we speak before our dance forces a partner change?”

“Will you save me a dance?”

“My dance card is full.”

“My dance card is empty.”

“ What made you choose your mask?”

“What mystery you have in such a wonderful dancer.”

“Is that a new dress?”

“Part of me wishes court would carry such whimsy on a regular basis.”

“Who is that face in the mask?”

“May I give you a riddle?”

“You have two left feet.”

“I’m not much a fan of the pomp and circumstance.”

“This dress is threatenin gto swallow me whole.”

“This tunic is very stiff.”

“May I have your hand, my lady?”

“Is this man bothering you?”

“Thank you, his hands were wandering.”

“The party was dull until I saw you.”

“it’s good to dance with a friendly face.”

“Don’t get a big head. We are forced to dance with anyone.”

“The snow was worth fighting to see you, my dear.”

“Look at all those saps. Dancing as if one night may mean love.”

“You are my drug to get through this dance and party.”

“I can’t dance. What about station?”

“Who do you think is the prince?”

“Behind every shadowy place, there is a light somewhere.”

“You seem like wearing a mask makes you freer.”

“I would know you anywhere.”

“I may not know what you look like, but I will never forget you.”

“Those eyes would never be able to decieve me.”

“It’s good to have a skilled dance partner.”

“Just an excuse to add beautiful clothes to the fakery of people.”

“What? you think I am who?”

“thank you for this dance.”

“Thank you for this splendid evening.”

“Do you really have to leave?”

“If I can not have your name, may I have your story?”

“Kiss me. Kiss me as a masked stranger that you will forget.”

“Join us, I love dancing.”

“We are always in a cage, but tonight we get to gourge ourselves and feel like we can fly.”

“Passifying the nobles- Maybe, but why not take advantage of the opportunity.”

“I spent hours getting pinned and pricked for this dress.”

“I didn’t think you could look more beautiful.”

“They are watching us. So let us dance.”
