"And I'm glad to hear your husband only lost part of his arm as opposed to his head." I smile ruefully. "I'm glad you're all alive as well. As for this...even if they're pretending, they've earned this. How many weeks local time have they been here while we've galavanted trying to foil Darth Trayus?"

Once I was sure Xan was far enough away, I face Zarka. "I see you've met the resident witch. Your thoughts?"

A couple of minutes after Jerus and Becca arrive, myself and the others do. However, I frown at the physical lack of Manda'lor and wonder what could be keeping her. Still, as I walk in, I decide she did have to make preparations for this and that might take longer than I thought. "Remember, safeties off." I spot Becca and approach her. "Seems more like a party than a meeting."

Jerus Je'and

"They were one of the most effective things I'd ever seen." Xan's laugh was so forced it almost caused me physical pain, but that was her life as she'd chosen after the Empire. Which only added reasons not to trust the back stabbing witch. "Clan Chief, if I might have a word in private."

Spotting Xan and Zarka Saxon, I return the clan leaders nod before fixing the likely-former Senator with a look that told her I didn't trust her as far as I could throw her. Not to mention there was Zarka to consider, as Temari said he had been the most vocal of Ava's contenders, so I lean in to Becca and speak so only she can hear me. "Excuse me while I go see what our frienemy has been up to with Saxon." Approaching the pair, I give a bow to Zarka.

"Clan Chief Zarka, I understand that the Mandalorian Guardians were an invention of your own alongside Clan Wren. Quite impressive."

I survey the once pristine skyscrapers, smoke rising from all across the planets surface. "Hence is the price the Republic paid for Darth Trayus' subterfuge. This was inevitable, one way or another I would think." I beckon inside. "Jerus implied we're about to walk into a very tense meeting, so I suggest keeping your blaster safeties off, just in case."

Grimacing, I nod and join her on the way out. "Not looking forward to that. Between having to give up Coruscant and HJ's disrespect of Ava's rank, this is going to get very loud."

"I mean, I have a great amount of respect for Satele Shan, but...she's still only human. We're all prone to mistakes."

I sigh, leaning back again and taking a drink of water from my cup nearby. "I've been thinking on that. Becca, he didn't recognize me on the balcony before Satele detonated the energy. Asked who I was. That might not be him anymore."

"I think only the Twins know the answer to that question by now. Salazar isn't in great shape to tell us himself."

"Get along...yeah, I guess that's one thing you could call it. In any case, we'll worry about her later. How are you feeling? You've been at that for awhile now."

"Might or will, Naberrie? No more of your games, we're all too exhausted."
