Her eyes, which were close to violet in color, now sparkled with cracks of crimson, reflecting the animosity stinging from Tal’Galan’s weapon. The lightsaber’s aggression added sudden and unforeseen weight to the conversation. Gut instinct told her to remain silent, and so, she closed her mouth to keep her lips from betraying her - but when the droid rose into the air, hovering between them, her boot took a thoughtless step toward the robotic companion.
G2 beeped, as if pleading to be put down on the ground, its mechanical insides whirred with an increase of electricity - and Jade did nothing.
She brought a hand to the edge of her oversized hood and pulled the fabric back. Her face was pale, and so was her hair. Long, nearly white strands were pulled into a ponytail. They fell down her chest, and rested against her black armor. Those calculated fingers peeled back the mask on her face.
Jade’s focus shifted to G2, “They are a reliable droid, programmed with navigation for star systems not calibrated on most ships. If it pleases you, Master Tal, I offer this droid to be of service to our mission - in the event we must venture to remote locations, they can provide access to secret and off-limit areas...”
A sly wind slipped through the shipyard, quietly tugging the black robes hanging off Jade’s shoulders. The mist at her feet swirled to life, then stilled as the shallow breeze slowed to a stop. Energetically, Jade took this as a sign, and waited to see if Tal’Galan would allow the droid to join them. Only the sound of the snapping lightsaber, and the descent of approaching TIE fighters aiming to dock, filled the space between them.
She imagined G2 being dropped at that height, breaking from the gravity of the fall - and though this vision was brief, for a single moment, her heart beat just for the droid. @Korghon (Josh)
