august event aftermath stuff

[ettersberg]

Did you go over onto the other vessel?

[unjedi]

I did. I'm the one who brought back the data. Along with some help.

[ettersberg]

In that case, thank you.

[ but mainly: ]

How are you faring, then?

[unjedi]

[ how? it's a weird question. jedi don't dwell. and ahsoka was raised as one, from the start. ]

Fine? You see one death ship, you've seen them all.

[ettersberg]

[ the last time they'd talked, she'd been suffering under the weight of expectation, of past decisions and their consequences.

it doesn't seem like an odd question to him at all. ]

Somehow, I doubt that to be true.

[ she didn't strike him as the type to remain entirely unaffected. ]

[unjedi]

[ a part of her bristles. it's one thing to have emotions. it's another to admit them easily.

purpose must come before feelings. ]

I'll do what needs to be done. If the cost is heavy, then I'll bear it. That's how I was taught.

[ettersberg]

It's a noble sentiment and I do not doubt your capacity for it.

[ but he also remembers how tired she'd seemed, the one time they talked in person. ]

But you needn't do it alone.

[unjedi]

Who am I supposed to do it with? Maybe you haven't noticed, but we're not running an efficient ship.
