RE: Star Crossed Lovers
She frowned as she slowly rose from her chair. She picked up her glass and walked over to Jaden. "Such serious talk for such a lovely gentle boy," she said running her hand under his chin. "Your cute, for a child" she said softly as she moved passed him and over to the drink cart. "I will humor you," she said then added, "sit boy. You look foolish just standing there."
She didn't look back at him as she slowly placed ice in her glass. "The vote will be tight. There is not much love for the Republic, or your Jedi here on this world," she filled up her glass. "You would be hard pressed to find anyone on this world that has deep routed respect for your order. During the Force Wars, our people were targeted by the Jedi and the Republic because some of us sided with the Sith," she turned and started back for her seat "Don't get me wrong, Trysta will suffer the fate of a pariah because of you. But it is her right to make that choice." She turned and slowly set back down, "it is not so much you being a human that will cause this. It is more that you are a Jedi."
She motioned out the window, "many households such as my own has a statue to Sith that have become icons of the household. Ours is Keryth Shiloh. During the Great Force Wars, she betrayed the Jedi to fight along side her people. For that, they captured her after the war and murdered her."
She took a sip of her drink, "so you understand why the vote will be close. Side against our long time hated enemy or side against a new religious rival. I insisted that we once more remained neutral and allow our Maidens to choose their own path."
