Qui-gon Jinn stands in the middle of their venerable circle with a taunt glinting in his eyes and the tiniest of smirks twisting his lips. The towering nuisance opens his mouth to answer Yoda's command (Explain yourself).
Only a formality, really. It's a waste of time to have the barve answer anything. Mace doesn't hear what Qui-gon says. All he hears are dozens of media members demanding explanations and justifications none of them can honestly give (though he knows he'll have to come up with something). Not to mention the monetary fallout that is sure to follow in the next few hours' time.
In his head, this scenario plays out very differently.
Qui-gon Jinn enters the chamber with a taunt in his eyes and the tiniest of smirks twisting his lips. Before the towering nuisance comes to a halt, Mace seizes him with a clench of his fist and throws him through a window. No muss, no fuss.
Shout out to Padawan Aneiki R'hyvar for the hilarious prompt! (I will attempt to fill the rest of the prompt requests as the muse strikes)
