holonet daily thanks you for coming forward.

@nulluse asked: reverse + 🗡' for receiver to hold a blase to your muse's throat

Tarre does not consider himself a particularly violent person: structural failing that it might be on a warlord, he likes to keep the peace where he can, and turn his might into battle when he cannot. He is, however, a pragmatist, and sometimes the reasonable answer is a blade to the throat, because people do tend to get the idea that he's serious when the little beskar knife comes out.

Ideally, he'd be using the darksaber for this, but he's yet to recover it, and so he has the knife he always carries around, for emergencies. This, and the Force, for all he's not yet using the latter.

"Now, now." He tells Jaing, and this time he lets the menace clear in his voice, and in his very presence in the Force, and lets it carry enough that a non-Force-sensitive will fell the shape of it. An old trick, once meant to calm disquiet, now turned to more Mandalorian usages. "I have questions, you have answers, and you are going to come with me." He tells the other. "I can be civilized about it, or I can choose not to."

He'd been pleasant enough. He'd been kind enough. And then he'd heard about Order 66, and he was done playing nice.

"A fantasy." Is his answer, grim and clear. "A concept, at most."

And he's more certain of it now than he used to be: he feels the Force and the way it has shifted in the Galaxy, the way a war has wounded it and them all.

"It's all well and good to try and be a hero. To aspire to be one. But the moment we start calling people heroes we start losing perspective, and we have too little of that these days."

And he's not particularly certain that the Jedi, right now, with their army and their dependency on the Senate, particularly qualify as heroes, these days. Heroic as some of their actions might be.

While Obi-Wan's intentions were pure, he perhaps should have taken a better look at who exactly was nursing the alcohol while watching the news reels. Instead, he had followed the thread of pain that sparked and wanted to offer his comforts.

That decision effectively slapped him in the face as he felt the hot flash of anger burst in the Force as soon as the words left his lips. Regret flashes over Obi-Wan's expression as he takes a physical step back at the blow of Jaing's emotions.

Usually, Obi-Wan was so good with people. His natural affinity for empathy, even without the Force, was both his strength and weakness. His greatest challenge as a Jedi, at the end of the day. Taking a centering breath, he had to remind himself that Jaing was grieving and did not have the proper tools to do so healthily.

How can Obi-Wan fault him for that?

"My apologies," he acquiesces with a slight bow of his head. He turns to leave and then stops himself after a moment before turning back. For a moment, it looks like he's going to change his mind as the possible consequences of his next words flutter before him like a book, but then he makes his decision.

"I have a bottle of Corellian in my quarters...you and your men will most likely put it to better use than I." It's a peace offering, but more than that, it's an offer of contraband. It's not a General speaking to a soldier. This is Obi-Wan Kenobi, the Jedi offering. The offer can be received well or blow up in his face.

🔥 spicy lemonade – what makes them snap or lose their temper?

If Casimir is around when a woman is being disrespected to the point of actual assault or assault is being threatened, he will not hesitate to abandon his relatively pacifistic nature. He will absolutely fight them and anyone else planning to or intentionally abusing a woman. Though he knows that many are capable of defending themselves, this is more considering everyday life, bars or clubs, or otherwise. He is not afraid to step in and certainly will put to use what training he does have in fighting someone.

Shifting her weight to her right foot, Zu'elah crosses her arms over her chest and raises a brow. She takes a moment to assess whether she actually wants to join him at the table. Without a current job, she's on an open schedule, as she likes to call it, so there is no problem there.

The issue is Jaing.

Does he even want company right now? Then again, he noticed her first and called out to her as she passed by.

With a roll of her eyes, she shakes her head and smiles to herself, clearly amused.

"You're overestimating how much I think about you," she retorts with a smile as she sits in the chair next to him with her drink. Zu'elah was content to sit at the bar earlier since all tables were taken, but hey, she's not going to refuse a little more elbow room. Despite the present company, a man whom she doesn't really know all that much, simply in passing.

Kun looked at him. Studying him. He's seen so many men like him after he left Yavin Four. His gaze going over an ocean's worth of clones for a pointless war that turned out to be a game of chess. And the bastard Palpatine was the puppeteer pulling the strings on the whole thing.

Pathetic. But he had more respect for the Jedi now than he ever did four thousand years ago. His smile was small as he studied the clone closely.

"An ARC Trooper..tell me. How have you escaped your duties?" A curious question. One he was itching to know. Many clones. Each one holding a different story from the last as the same person died again and again. They were all the same person and yet. They were different from one another. Taking a step towards him he cocked his head to the side." What name have you chose for yourself?"
