the words are truthful, maybe… but a reality that they struggled to accept because of her own perception on the matter. pushing people away was easy. making enemies was easier. “i don’t know how any of this…” her hand gestured vaguely at the metal walls, “even works. i’m a warrior. a spy. is that the skillset for survival that’s really needed up here?”
“ maybe not those skills specifically , no , but they aren’t your only ones -- and if they are , you can learn new ones. ” cautious , harper squeezes their hand. “ you don’t have to fight to survive up here. ”

she can see right through him and it should be frustrating but it’s not. it’s a relief. he can’t hide from her, not even if he’d wanted to. and he doesn’t. he doesn’t want to hide anything from her, ever. he won’t, not if he has anything to say about it. he decides right then that he’ll always let her see him, always let her know him. the best and the worst parts. always. cheeks warm, his gaze darts away under her attentive words. “i…i’ve never…” he swallows hard and shakes his head. “i want to make sure you enjoy yourself. i won’t know what i’m doing. i’ve never… you know. never wanted to, really. but with you, i do. i just don’t want to disappoint you,” he confesses, voice soft. he dares to look back at her, to gauge her reaction. well, she’s not laughing. that’s a start.
it doesn’t come up as much of a surprise ; it has always been her assumption , and that of most of the galaxy , that the jedi are celibate. padme smiles , squeezing his hands. his embarrassment is charming , in a funny way ; he’s so worried that she may not enjoy herself. “ it’s alright , ani. everyone has a first time -- and we can go slow. there’s nothing to worry about. ”

THE OTHERS AROUND the table eye kaz nervously when his tone shifts; it’s clear by their stares that they’re not going to stick around if brekker is, and at this — jesper has to concede defeat. irritably, roughly, jesper drops his cards and turns to face kaz.
“ and i don’t like being interrupted, ” he grumbles. “ what is it tonight, are we hurting someone, or are you about to drag me into a fight? ”
“ i’m doing you a favor. if you stop now , you might have money to eat tomorrow. ” patience rapidly thinning , kaz turns , striding toward the door. “ hurting someone. now come on. ”

hands cup his face firmly, pressing onto her toes so that she could pull him down to her lips & kiss him hard. her grip was as though she didn’t want him to go, but it was the opposite of the truth –– padmé needed him to go. “of course, i will try to take care of the senate,” she murmured. “& anakin… don’t say anything to obi-wan. he won’t understand.”
“ i know. ” because he never has , never could. he’d never understand their love , would never understand the lengths they would go to save one another ; would never understand the hopelessness of the order. “ are we -- are we to kill him? ”

another smile graces the princess’ lips as christian explains his talents, and she can’t help but wonder just what other talents he possesses. it seems he’s a natural, after all. “well, for whatever it’s worth mister desbois, i’m very glad that you’ve found a passion for singing. you’re quite talented and i’m so happy that you’re sharing your gift with the world.” her expression falls, though, as he goes on. “oh, i’m terribly sorry to hear that. that’s… that’s so awful, mister desbois.”
“ that’s very kind of you to say , your highness. i find great joy in singing ; if it can bring some joy to others , i’m happy to share it. ” and he shakes his head slightly , putting a hand over hers. “ it’s alright , truly. it has been some time. ”

𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝐒𝐇𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 𝐀𝐓 𝐇𝐈𝐒 𝐖𝐎𝐑𝐃𝐒. every time, when she thinks they can’t get worse, the newest nightmare seems to top the last. tears sting in her eyes, but she refuses to let them fall— she can’t, not when she has to be strong for him. so she squeezes him extra tight, pressing a gentle kiss to his hair. ❝ that wasn’t your fault, bucky, ❞ she murmurs against the shell of his ear, rocking him gently in her arms. ❝ that wasn’t you— ❞
bucky is still but for his shuddering breaths , tense but unresisting in her arms. it isn’t right that she should have to do this night after night ; he should go back to his apartment , deal with them on his own , but night after night he remains. “ how much of it was? ”

❝ i do my best. sometimes i worry that i get in the way, and they’re too polite to say so. ❞ she is their king’s sister, practically a PRINCESS, and sansa knows that some soften their words when in the presence of those ranked above them; she herself had done similarly.
“ i’m sure it isn’t so. they seem grateful for your help. ” and really , there can be no shortage of nurses , given their current situation. the flow of wounded often seems endless.

it comes so easy to her it seems. as if it’s just obvious. meditate, it should solve ALL their problems. but he knows even thinking such is wrong, knowing the value in the action – that FORCE shining down on him. he wishes he was more like her, like mace. blue eyes glance at her, the small break in this serene stature. the BONDS between padawan and master were strong, deep. “ you should come with me. ” he doesn’t even know what he’s asking, what he’s suggesting. but she gets it, and though he’s high on moving as fast as possible – he suddenly isn’t sure if he should do it alone. “ i mean, pending the council even clears it, or … i don’t know. ”
a moment of hesitation. she wants to ; of course she wants to go to mace , as he had come to her on haruun kal , but does that desire in itself not scream of attachment? “ i ... someone should go with you , certainly. we don’t know what you’d be walking into. i will ask that i accompany you as well. ”

she debates with herself for another moment before shrugging , ❝ sure , why not ? ❞ it’s not like she can really move forward with anything before consulting with pepper anyway . and tony’s not so bad when he’s...like this . ❝ you’re worried about him , ❞ caroline realizes too late that she probably should have phrased it as if it were more of a question than an observation .
tony stills briefly , pressing his lips together , and shrugs as he hands her a mug. “ he’s a sixteen year old kid with superpowers and a suit he hasn’t begun to learn the capabilities of. someone’s gotta worry about that. ”

she takes a half step back as he snaps in reaction, as he calls her a liar. he can’t possibly think that, she tells herself. she’s never lied a day in her life! disbelief fills her expression, a small crease forming in between her eyebrows, jaw lightly dropping as she looks at him. “that is a lie. that is a cold, hard, horrible lie, anakin,” she tells him with a small huff. a small tone to her voice. “who told you that?! they’re the one who’s lying to you. not me, or obi-wan, or the jedi–”
“ obi - wan turned against me. he turned padme against me. ” vader cuts her off , drawing himself upright. you have done that yourself. “ and the jedi were traitors to the republic , blinded by their own foolishness and arrogance. don’t you turn against me , too. ”

he’d probably be happy to quit if it had been a deal-breaker, but she doesn’t know that. he likes her, a lot. she’s pretty and smart and sure, a little older than him but that just makes her more enticing. she’s mature, she knows what she wants, and she has her life together. or so it seems. better than anakin who lives with his roommate and still has his mom send him money for groceries and once slept through his finals. the kiss to his cheek is bold, as he quickly snuffs out the cigarette. his cheeks flush pink and he offers her his arm. “i am. you look great, by the way.” and she does. put together. like she made an effort. not that he hasn’t. quite the opposite in fact. ahsoka had helped him dress for this date.
“ thank you. you don’t look half - bad , ” she teases , smiling up at him and accepting the offered arm. his instant blush is endearing , and she finds herself glancing away , hiding another smile. best not have him think she’s laughing at him. “ are you going to tell me where we’re going now? ”

chin arises to follow drifting irises, however viridian widens slightly at the mention of ‘choking’. mind races to envision the footage. taking another long sip of her beverage, the inquisitive redhead shills credits upon the table, then slides from her seat. ❝ – PANICKING, AS IF SHE ALSO DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS CAUSING IT? ❞ tidreen muses as her mind springs, imagination in a freefall of questions. ❝ TORTURE AS A METHOD OF INTERROGATION IS STRICTLY FORBIDDEN. FOR OBVIOUS REASONS. THAT DOESN’T SOUND LIKE HER AT ALL. ❞
“ yeah. thing is , there’s no way to prove that. ” anakin tosses enough credits onto the table to pay for his own largely untouched drink , striding toward the door. “ it’s not like her. she would never -- it’s hard to believe any jedi would ever. ”

𝓢𝑯𝑶𝑼𝑳𝑫 𝑯𝑰𝑺 𝑯𝑬𝑨𝑹𝑻 𝑩𝑼𝑹𝑺𝑻, serena’s hands will be held out, for robb only. let his heart meet with hers ; she will protect him. 𝐟����𝐨𝐦 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠. her hand trembles when he insists, curling into the soft auburn at the nape of his neck. ❝ it’s horrifying, robb. i - it’s your … your mother, but it’s not her … it’s a living carcass … ❞
despite his own promise , the words cause him to stir against her , head lifting from his shoulder. he can’t look -- he can’t look , and yet he must. “ what? it can’t -- i must ... ” what? look? go to her? save her?
