tenel ka bowed her head, her veil covering her lovely features, as was often tradition for the queen mother. she stood there in her fineary. jewels, and silks, the beauty and wealth of hapes always shone brightest on its queen mother. one hand loose at her side, the other not there at all. her left arm ended at her elbow, lost in an accident with a lightsaber as a child. she had never felt the need to replace it with a prosthetic. “the hapes consortium welcomes the jedi, as it has done since my mother’s reign,” she said, greeting the jedi on the landing platform. “we are the republic and the jedi’s willing allies, should there be anything you need, you only need to ask.”

    “I didn’t come here to… to become your paramour.”     “You won’t. Paramours are playthings.” She stopped in full view of the pond’s far bank and gave him a long, warm kiss. “And I would never play with you, Jacen Solo.”

After the Republic had fallen, Hapes had withdrawn once more into isolation to protect itself, and it’s Queen Mother from the First Order. It wasn’t an action Tenel Ka had been proud of but she was here to rectify that now. Now when the Resistance needed the power, and the wealth, and the might of Hapes more than ever. 

She stood out even in the crowded hanger bay. Dressed in jewels and silks, it was easy to spot the Queen Mother. Her storm grey eyes were warm, warm enough to make up for the fact that she did not actually smile as she approached him. “General Organa said that I was to come to you to discuss the integrating the Hapan Navy into the resistance. Is this your first time seeing a Hapan Battle Dragon?”

My body is a graveyard. -- @chokethelight ( Tenel Ka & Darth Nox ) 

“Then I hope to give you plenty of time to reflect about all the death you’ve caused after I bury you in the Hapes prison,” she said, pulling free her lightsaber from her waist and igniting the brilliant turquoise blade of her lightsaber. “I may not be a Jedi Knight,” you carry within you everything a Jedi is, she remembered Luke telling her when she had first become Queen, “But the Sith are still my enemy, you can surrender now, or later, it makes no difference to me.”

“I’m Queen Mother of Hapes,” Tenel Ka said, though from the look of her it should be obvious. She dripped in jewels and silks, and who but Hapes had that kind of wealth even in the midst of a war? A system that had never been taken, could never be taken. “I am here to meet with Leia Organa. I believe she requested my presence. Unless the Resistence no longer needs the help of Hapes.”

❝ i’ll keep those vultures guessing . ❞ -- @ofcorpses​ ( tenel ka djo & asajj ventress ) 

her storm blue eyes watched the witch, she was wary but she fought the impulse to go for the lightsaber that hung at her hip. she’d been raised to be wary of nightsisters. after all they had often been the enemy of her grandmother’s clan. they had often been her enemy.  

but that didn’t mean the two of them here and now had to be enemies. and it certainly didn’t mean that she -- queen mother of hapes -- should get into a fight that might end her life and give control of hapes back to her grandmother. 

sometimes, her old master had once told her, with patience and reason, and by setting a good example, i have won more than a fight. i have turned my adversary into a friend.

“it seems a little unfair to call them vultures,” she said, “after all vultures are useful, and by consuming dead flesh ultimately protect us from the diseases rotting flesh would be bring. hapan nobility are ... no where near as useful. but none the less ... dathomir is part of the hapes consortium.” and had been since her mother had been queen mother of hapes,  “you are as entitled to be here as any of them.”
