Rila: I will say this right now - I love Hondo. Seriously, he's one of my favorite "villains" of the show. I say "villains" because he acts out of self-interest, not any actual set plan. So. Cad Bane comes in a close second. What can I say? I have a thing for "villains" who don't fit the mold of the typical ones. ...I like Grievous too. He's awesome. Face it, they have some pretty BAMF villains. And hey look there wasn't any ridiculous Obi-Wan/Anakin rescue mission attempt like with Blue Shadow Virus/Mystery of a Thousand Moons! And oh hey so you know I suck at genuine fluff

Chapter Description: It was pretty obvious she could take care of herself.
She was bickering with the medical droid when he made his way into the medbay, coming to a stop as Ahsoka snapped,
"I said I'm fine!"
Ever calm, the droid replied, "It's my duty to look over any and all injuries."
Huffing, Ahsoka turned, gaze falling upon him. She didn't smile, though her tone was more civil as she told him, "If you're looking to hear what happened, go read my report or talk to Master."
"I already did," he responded, and she was momentarily confused as to which he was replying to. Both, it appeared, as he added, "General Skywalker wasn't happy with the way things turned out."
"Everyone made it back alive, doesn't that count?" She sighed and rolled her eyes. "'It was supposed to be a trip to Illum with the younglings and back, Snips!'" Her tone was mocking, and he shook his head as she continued, "He acts like I ask for trouble."
"From his standpoint," he countered, "it looks like you do."
Her mouth curved, but it was a smile caught between understanding and irritation. "I know he cares, but he could stand to stop treating me like a kid all the time. I'm not that reckless anymore. Besides, he acts like I haven't gotten kidnapped before." It was a reference to her incident on Felucia with the Trandoshans, and she continued quickly, curiosity replacing the frustration as she inquired, "What are you doing down here, Rex?"
"I came down here to see how you were."
There was a faint darkening in the shade of her chevrons, though it quickly faded as she returned her attention to the droid that was carefully wrapping a deeper scratch on her right arm. "Skyguy sent me down here as soon as I got back and now this tin-can won't let me leave."
"He was worried about you."
"Were you?" The abruptness of her question and the darkening of her face and chevrons said that the words had fallen from her mouth before she could stop them, and her eyes focused on anything but him.
His mouth opened.
"Yes."
