"Look I might have squealed, Mace asked me what I was hiding, he gave me the evil eye and I tried really hard not to tell...but then he brang..on a hard bargain.."
"A hard bargain?"
"Clipper what could be so.."
"You made him pay you didn't you?"
"I mean he was that desperate.."
Clipper takes out a couple wads of cash. She sits there taking the rubber bands of the stacks and counting every dollar, counting every crease on the greenery. Lux and Ahsoka just store...Lux was surprised that Mace would be swindelled this far, and Ahsoka had never seen so much money in her life..
Guess all Jedi aren't as smart as I thought..
Afterall a Jedi could not possess money. Yoda taught from young that money was the route of all evil.
He says is you start off with a dirt, then you get a credit, then another, and another, until you fill a become obssessed with this newfound wealth, not wanting it to leave you desolate, so you'll even isolate yourself, just to continue being rich, which is the road to unhappiness.
This unhappiness causes you by instinct to seek more money, any way possible, to feed your addiction. One second your living the high life the next moment your eating dust bunnies in a prison cell.
Clipper knew this already, its just she wanted to have a little fun, even if it could potentially hold her back in her training.
"Life is too short, you know, you gotta enjoy it.."
...
Clipper had made neat piles of freshly straightened bills. She could make a swimming pool with all this, litterally.
"Are you sure..he gave you all this?"
She pointed to half of the money, " I stole half and the other I was given..."
"CLIPPER...you stole from a Jedi Master...?"
"Yes ma'am.."
Clipper seemed almost cocky sporting a grin that showed that she was clearly comfortable and okay with this fact.
She did feel invincible.
"You could be kicked out of the order for that!"
"Oh please..they won't find out.." Clipper rubbed her hands together mischeviously
"How do you know they aren't snooping on our conversation..right now.."
Clipper looks at the pair, " They haven't shown up, and you two don't have any wiretape anyways.."
"Ah hah we got blackmail.."
"And even if you did the blackmail ..would be an alltime low for such a clean valuable older, more mature Jedi like you.."
"Clipper.."
"You forget I could tell the council all about your hot affair, and Anakin would so back kicking you out..and he would take me as his new padawan to replace you..Mwa haha..."
"All right..lets make a deal.."
"I'm all ears.."
