Padawan Royalty chapter 5
They had their "first kiss" on a snowy planet on a Mandolorian Death Watch Camp, pretending to be a couple to hide Ahsoka's true Jedi identity. The two defeated their enemies, the mandos whom tried to destroy Ahsoka for sport. Lux had been sickened by the sheer brutality of these warriors.
Lux thought, I'm glad I saved her.
He originally had decided to request their assistance to avenge his deceased mother, Mina Bonteri.
Lux thought, I still can't believe I let her go. Why did Dooku kill her? Was she really a traitor?"
He has so many things he needed to have answered, like why was his father killed by Jedi. Why was his mother killed? Why did his family reject him? What was wrong with him? As he was having a relationship with one from the very institution that killed his father.
Lux tried to reason with himself, It wasn't Ahsoka who killed my father, it was another Jedi.
But, that thought didn't crush his desire to seek revenge. Ahsoka was the occasionaly neutralizer of the hurt, but it was still evident.
Ahsoka thought, What is he thinking?
He refused to build and alliance with the Republic, thinking they were not "friends". The only Republic official he would side with, would be Ahsoka, maybe even Padme, his mother's close friend. He was considering Ahsoka's affiliates, more or less.
Lux sighed, But could I trust them?
He looked at Ahsoka. She was sooo innocent so young. At the same time she seemed so tough, and more matured. The war had shaped her character, she looked more muscular, perhaps from all the training the Jedi endured. She looked like she was holding back years of hurt, behind her smile.
Ahsoka looked away, Why is he so quiet?
He had taken up bounties to pay for his transportation around the galaxy. He looked at every place where he last saw a Bonteri, along his bounties. Now, bounties weren't his style, since he was more of a sensitive, rationale guy.
He found no family. The truth is the family either didn't think he existed or they flat out rejected him, because of the bounties he had on his head. Sometimes they betrayed him, and he escaped.
Lux mumured, So much for family.
But, then he found Ahsoka. She was the only family he had, who was willing to risk all she had for him.
Lux thinks, Me and Ahsoka, just thinking about that warmed his heart giving him ounces of hope. The hope his father had ingrained in him long ago..sprouted again in his chest.
He tried to ignore the deep burning hurt in himself that burned as he thought about losing Ahsoka...
TessyClawz: Not bad there. I'm trying to see who I should have walk in on their conversation... Mace Windu, Anakin, or a youngling?
