She sighed, hating the fact that she was on guard duty and had no one to talk to... well, she thought as she glanced at the astromech droid standing nearby, no one that she could understand if they talked back, that is.

"Hey you," she stage-whispered to the droid. The droid rotated it's canopy so that it was "looking" at her. "Yes, you. Sense anything out there?"

The droid signaled in the negative and it rotated away from her again. Ignoring her.

Mara glanced to where her charge was sleeping and sighed in disgust. She hated him. Hated that he'd run, hated that she'd had to go after him. Hated that they had to depend on each other to get out of this situation that they'd landed themselves in the middle of.

The droid's canopy rotated around to her again, and signaled what sounded like a question.

She frowned at it. "Huh?" It signaled again and she was even more confused, sure that it couldn't be asking how she was. "I don't understand."

The droid's "head" rotated to it's master, and then back to her and signaled again, this time sounding even more concerned.

"If you're asking how I am," Mara said, bewildered as could be. "I'm fine. Just..." She shook her head, suddenly aware that she was about to spill her guts to a piece of machinery. The droid trilled at her in question again and she looked at him. After a moment, she smiled. "Thanks, little guy." She stood up, walked over to it, and patted it on the head. "Needed that."

They stood keeping watch together for the rest of the night.

Very intresting bonding.

Which makes me believe that the only one who believe that Mara wouldn't kill Luke was Mara.


Good fic.

Great little Artoo-sized 'fic... very nice, light take on the characters. It made me smile... and also think, a little.

Good work. Thank you.

I really like how you have R2 and Mara act towards each other here - one thing I don't like in profic and most other fics is Mara and R2 hating each others guts. I think they would have gotten alot closer since they both look out for Luke when he gets into trouble.
