RE: Star Crossed Lovers
she listened carefully to what Jaden said as she sipped her drink. "I will say, you are just so cute, for a child," she said softly. "You say you are not here to barter for the Republic and yet you are doing just that. Not joining the OPA or siding with the Republic benefits the Republic either way." She laughed, "a male's brain is just not developed enough to understand such complex galactic political situations. Our males have hundreds of years to learn from and even then, they can't comprehend the vast possible consequences of such important decisions. And here you are, so young. So naive." She giggled in delight, "it's just so cute. Let me save you a lot of disappointment. Outside of this house, your opinions will not be so humored. Even Trysta understands that at her age, her opiniois still that of a child."
She set her glass down, "no, I am sure that the Crones will not join the OPA. And while you pledged to protect our neutrality, that is not necessary. We are more than capable of tending to that ourselves."
She leaned forward in her chair and looked deep in to Jaden's eyes. "In truth, maybe, for my daughter's sake, I should extend the protection of the House to you, child."
