“ I survived. ” That was more than many could say. Their last full conversation that wasn’t hushed words ended bittersweet, full of confessions that neither would say again, only feel. Her hands flexed in want to touch, to take what she couldn’t for what seemed like years.

     “    you didn’t have to kill them.    ”       its a hiss,   venom on her tongue.   the anger fuels her and the way she speaks,  moves.   hands find their place flat against the top of her desk.  her head hangs,  and she tries to find the composure of a woman that can remain calm.   she straightens herself once more,  taking a breath as fingers extend to press lightly into the desk.  lingering,  the cold glass grounds her.    -    fingers leave the desk and find a new place on her hips,   she turns to face the man,   composure struggling to last.    

     “ well, i can’t exactly talk about what’s in there right now. gonna have to wait,  ”  consider it pay back for not telling her about the whole ‘jedi’ thing he had going on.

@dusksiided​​ said: corran gently grabs her chin, tilting her head up so she had no choice but to look at him. " of course i want you with me. but this person i'm meeting with knows i'm a jedi. there are only a few of us left in the galaxy. if i get captured, i need to know someone out there is coming for me. so for this, i think it's better if i go alone. do you trust me? "

❝ I’m no leader. I’m no Jedi. ❞┌ @dusksiided​ ┘for galen !!

Leia frowned as he spoke, because she was fully aware of the things he was saying. He was no Jedi, but neither was she. She could have been, she supposed, but the idea of giving up love and a future to uphold a tradition that she didn’t fully understand was not her choice when the time came. She could fully support her brother, she could love him and be glad that the Jedi would live on in his name, but she could not follow in his footsteps. 

     qi’ra sat in her place at her desk,   taking holo after holo regarding crimson dawns business dealings.   nothing too exciting,   to her at least.   it was a moment of complete focus,  not even acknowledging corran’s lingering presence as he chipped away at the previous security systems.    -    after hours of calls,  qi’ra could finally relax.   she steals a glance at the man,   a small smile on her lips as she checks in.    “    is there anything i can get you?    ”     she sits back in her chair and moves to cross one leg over the other,  but stops when she hears a noise from outside her office.  

     Ryann stopped in her tracks hearing the familiar voice. Last time she heard it was in the form of a speech of how she could still be redeemed and that there was other ways -- that was months ago and the tide had changed. Now here she was stood in the middle of the Resistance base while her brother received medical treatment. “If the words I told you so leave your mouth, I will slit your throat.” She warned.
