	Title: Every Sword Needs a Shield Author: Flowerlady Timeframe: LotF Characters: Jag, Zekk, Jaina (from Jag’s POV) Warning: ***Sacrifice spoilers*** Genre: General, Vignette Disclaimer: Not mine… SW belongs to GL. Summary: Jag and Zekk considers what they really are to Jaina. ~~ Every Sword Needs a Shield ~~ I watched her from my position near the non-Jedi and willed my strength to her. She stood with her family—her uncle, cousin and parents—who arrived not caring about the warrant for their arrest. The only one missing was Jacen. We all wondered where he was, but he was busy—maneuvering himself into power of the GA. I could tell that she was trying not to break; she was being strong for Ben and Master Skywalker. I have to admit, in all the years I had known the Jedi Grand Master, I never saw him look so haggard, even during the worst days of the Vong War. I only half-heartedly listened to the eulogies being said for Mara Jade Skywalker. I felt somewhat guilty for my inattention, but I knew Master Skywalker wouldn’t have wanted this kind of fuss to begin with, and I was all but a stranger to her. My attention was fully on the beautiful woman standing with her arm around her younger but taller cousin. I felt someone staring at me and I glanced around to find Zekk watching me. As soon as my eyes met his he looked away; no doubt his mind was on the same thing mine was—Jaina’s earlier revelation. We, Zekk and I, arrived at Ossus for the funeral together and found Jaina. To my great displeasure, Zekk found her first and I was forced to tag behind. Jaina was surprised to see us together and being almost friendly toward each other outside of our relentless search for Alema Rar; we even arrived in the same shuttle. Despite our competition over Jaina, in the many months that we have been working together, he and I had formed some sort of—something. I wouldn’t go so far as saying we were friends, but we weren’t enemies either. I trusted Zekk and I know he trusted me as far as facing combat went. We were on the same side of the war this time and as such we formed a soldier’s trust between us. I, however, didn’t trust him one iota with Jaina, but then I knew he felt the same for me. Well, I suppose after yesterday’s discussion it doesn’t matter; Jaina isn’t interested in either one of us. That hurt more than I thought that it ever would. When she and Zekk were first assigned to help with me I was livid. I hadn’t a clue as to how I was going to stand working with them. I blamed Jaina for a lot of what happened to me and to my family. And I don’t even want to get into my issues with her ex-Joiner boyfriend. My whole pursuit of Alema Rar was done in hopes of someday gaining favor again with the Chiss and to regain my family’s honor. However, as days turned into weeks and we began to find a rhythm, I noticed just how jealous Zekk was of me, which got me to wondering if Jaina still felt anything for me. I kept telling myself that I didn’t care one way or another because we were through the moment she shot at me over Tenupe, despite what she had told me before she fired. But soon I did care and I wanted to spend more time with her. What started out as my pretending to nudge in on her and Zekk soon became me really wanting to push Zekk out of the picture. I did it once before, so I figured if Jaina really had any feelings for me, it wouldn’t be too hard to do so again. Of course, unlike the last time, he was doing the same, and like two adolescent, hormone-happy schoolboys, we competed for her attention. It all came to an end yesterday when she commed both of us asking us to meet her at her quarters. She sounded sad, broken; I wanted nothing more than to run to her and scoop her up into my arms, and take her pain away. However, when I got there at the appointed time, Zekk met me before her door. “What are you doing here?” he asked as he rang her buzzer, precisely a second after I had. I raised my brow and simply responded, “I could ask you the same thing. However, since we arrived at the same time, I have the feeling we are here for the same reason. Jaina called you as she did me.” Zekk snickered, “So, Fel, now you think you can infer like a Jedi?” “No, I’m only looking at the facts and doing the math. Two plus two still equals four.” Just then Jaina’s door slid open and I lost all the bitterness Zekk triggered. Her eyes were hollow, haunted. I remembered seeing that same look in those beautiful brandy eyes a long time before: back on Hapes after her brother Anakin was killed in that crazy mission and she thought Jacen was too. I immediately stepped in and, despite the awkwardness of it, wrapped my arms around her in a tight embrace. I felt her relax some against me and I relished the feel of her against me. However, within a minute she was composed and pulled away and out of my arms. I reluctantly let her go, suddenly wishing I never would have to. “Thank you both for coming,” she said and stepped into an equally tight embrace from Zekk. I tried to swallow my disdain at seeing how intimately he held her as he kissed the top of her head. Then she stepped away and tried to smile but failed miserably. Zekk forced a smile, “You know I didn’t have to be told to visit.” “I know,” she looked from him to me and swallowed as she wrung her hands. Then she clasped them tightly before her, a true sign of clear determination. “I’ve called you both here to lay some things out on the line. Please, come and sit down.” She turned and headed for the small sitting area of the temporary Jedi quarters. To sit there on the couch with Zekk across from me on a chair that was made for someone not quite as tall as him, and Jaina between us on a hard chair she pulled from the small dining table, reminded me way too much of the time she threw that silly “picnic” with Kyp Durron and me on Borleias. Somehow I knew from that experience that things weren’t going to be good. They weren’t. She looked from one of us to the other and finally after fiddling for a few moments with the hem of her tunic, she said, “I have to apologize for how I’ve been acting around you both. I’ve been immature and foolish.” “Jaina,” I spoke up, shaking my head, “you haven’t been foolish and you aren’t immature. You couldn’t have known Mara would…” She stared at me with such a look that the words turned to ash in my mouth. “Instead of being the Jedi that I should be, instead of trying to figure out just what being the Sword of the Jedi means, I’ve been encouraging this stupid competition between you two.” Zekk countered, “What do you mean?” She stood up, clearly agitated as she wrung her hands and paced in a short circuit behind her chair. “This,” she exclaimed and threw her hands in the air. Then she spun on us, “Do you think that I don’t know what you’ve been doing? Why all of the sudden you both feel so compelled to exercise in my presence without your shirts, or be willing to nearly kill yourselves to outdo the other? Why if I spend even one second longer with either one of you alone, the other one starts acting like a cross between a mynock suctioned to an X-wing and a gundark? And I am finally willing to admit that I liked the attention!” Zekk and I both glanced at each other then at Jaina but somehow we both knew to keep quiet and let her talk. She sat back down and again folded her hands together in her lap. After taking a deep breath she said a little more calmly, “Aunt Mara pointed out to me that my behavior has been not very—very mature. I’m not eighteen anymore. I have a destiny to figure out and we have a job to do. For all we know Alema could have been Mara’s killer. She used poison darts before, and she had worked with Lumiya. And she hated my aunt. By killing Aunt Mara she has struck at my uncle, at my parents, at me, even at Jacen, though I doubt he cares, and she hit the Jedi hard. If she is the one who killed my aunt, this is possibly the second Jedi Master she’s killed.” She then pinned us with a determined stare that made me want to shiver, “It is of the utmost importance that we find her and bring her in before anyone else falls to her craziness. This means I have absolutely no time for romance, nor do I really want one. So, I’m only telling you two once: stop the Zeltron gigolo behavior now, because, quite frankly, it is very unbecoming!” What could we say? Nothing. Zekk and I just sat there and stared back at her. We left her shortly after that and headed back to our own separate quarters, which were in the same direction but fortunately were not that close together. Neither of us talked as we walked to the spot were we parted and went our different ways. Both of us were stunned, and unsure of where to go from here. I began to realize just what Jaina really meant to me and, as I look back, I think Zekk came to a similar realization in that walk back to our quarters. However, we would abide by her wishes. I came back to the present and watched as Jaina tried to be strong for her uncle and cousin. However, we both knew her well enough to know that she was using that as a method of not really dealing with what she was feeling. I knew the emotion was high. Although, as Zekk loved to point out, I was as Force-blind as a rock, I could feel the pain around me. The Jedi, I’ve come to learn, are very much a family. Jaina taught me that. After Kyle Katarn gave his tearful eulogy for a friend and colleague that went back to the days when they were both in Imperial service and who had trained to be Jedi together afterward, he lit the pyre. And we all watched in brittle silence as the body of Jedi Master Mara Jade Skywalker became consumed by flames. The precession then moved toward the great Temple for the quiet wake that was to follow. I moved around the back of the grand room to where I found Zekk quietly talking to Lowbacca. The Wookiee looked at me and woofed something that I’d never be able to understand and with a quick nod he moved away. Zekk turned toward me and said as I watched Lowie weave his way through the crowd, “He’s sorry for what happened to you and for the part that he played in it.” I swallowed and looked at Zekk. “I know.” “Oh?” I turned toward Lowbacca again, “Yeah, Jaina assured me.” Finally, I faced him squarely and very pointedly said, “Zekk, hey, look. I think we have to do something. I don’t like what Jaina is doing.” Zekk’s expression was incredulous, “I’m sure that you don’t. She’s told us both where we stand. We have as much a chance as a snowball has of not melting on Mustafar.” “No, not that.” I looked over to where she was standing and shook my head, “I think she’s shutting down again.” “What do you mean?” Zekk was concerned. I could tell by the way the edge melted off his voice as quickly as that snowball would have on Mustafar. I looked back at him again and said, “On Borleias she shut herself off from everything. She was afraid that she wouldn’t live through the war so she pushed everyone away to protect them from being hurt. I hope she doesn’t start doing that again with this whole ‘Sword of the Jedi’ thing as an excuse.” “Obviously, you didn’t get pushed away then. I know that was where you and Jaina…” Zekk stopped and looked away and I was actually surprised to see the tint on his otherwise pale cheeks. I didn’t know if it was from anger or embarrassment. I nodded and looked out over the crowd and tried to find the woman who was the topic of our conversation. “Yes, that’s where we admitted that we had feelings for each other. It was those feelings that helped her realize that it hurt more to shut everyone out then to have us close.” “Of course, you felt that way as long as I wasn’t involved.” I turned and faced him, “Look, I admit I was jealous. Ktah, I still am. She knew you and Durron a hell of a lot longer than she knew me, and you two had a history together. Besides, the three of you share something that I never could or can—the Force. I’m sorry that I told Jaina you weren’t a good enough pilot, but there was no way I could have taken to having both you and Durron in our squadron, dealing with Durron’s infatuation was frustrating enough.” Zekk lightly chuckled but there wasn’t much humor in it. “I don’t blame you, really. I would have done the same thing. But really, you and Jaina have more history than I’ve had with her.” Zekk turned away and watched Jaina with her family. He was quiet for a long time and I really didn’t know what else to say. Finally, he softly said, “You know she still loves you.” I’d had been less shocked if he had hit me. “What?” He beckoned me to follow him which I did. We eventually found ourselves in the Serenity Garden. There he sat down on a bench and patted the space beside him. “Sit, Jag.” Though awkward as it was, I did. Then he took a deep breath and stared into the folded hands that he leaned over. “I at one time wished with all my heart that Jaina could have fallen in love with me. That she could love me as much as she loved you. I spent years pining for her, watching her with you and wishing that it was me. The hardest thing that I’d ever done was feel her love for you, Jag.” He finally looked back over his shoulder at me. “I know what she feels for you.” I suddenly was transported back to that extremely uncomfortable comm conversation at the beginning of the Swarm War. He must have sensed my discomfort and maybe even my thoughts and laughed, “You think that was easy on me? I felt her emotions and she felt mine. She knew that I loved her, but she never once considered me more than a friend. However, the worst torture was the dreams and the memories of you and her that I couldn’t shield myself from.” I didn’t need to be a Jedi to understand him completely, and I felt a blush of embarrassment and then the heat of anger. I stood and moved away, not wanting to look at this man who had probably seen, through Jaina’s memories, every personal and incredibly intimate moment that she remembered of our time together. “I was her anchor, Jag. She was mine,” Zekk quietly said his voice soft. “If we hadn’t became Joined together, we’d had lost our identities completely. We would have become what Alema is now. We would have become bugs. Isn’t that what the Chiss considered the Joiners? Although we aren’t Joiners anymore, we have formed a bond as deep as some marriage bonds are between Jedi, but I know she never loved me more than a friend. I finally realized that and I decided to let her go. I have to get on with my life, Jag.” I turned and stared at him as he continued, “I told her this on Terephon before the Battle of Hapes, but when you came back into our lives, I realized that if I stayed back, she’d run right back into your arms. I couldn’t stand the thought of her doing that. So…” “So, you became jealous and acted as such.” “Yeah. You started feeding into it and I really started to think that…Kriff! I really don’t know what I started thinking.” He ran his hands through his long hair and stood. He moved away from me and finally turned and asked pointedly, “Do you love her?” I met his gaze and without hesitation I answered, “Yes.” He nodded and turned away from me again. I could tell by his stiff posture that this was hurting him. “Zekk, I don’t think I even realized how much I still care about her until I saw her with you.” He turned and actually laughed, breaking some of the tension of what was turning into an extremely tense conversation. “You know, you and I aren’t really that different.” I raised my scarred brow and said, “We aren’t that similar either.” Zekk shrugged and deadpanned, “Black hair, green eyes, pilots, stubborn, a bit on the mysterious side…” “Okay, I get it,” I smiled. “But how does this revelation help Jaina?” “Simple. I step out of the way.” “You’ll what?” Again I was stunned. “She needs us now, Jag. What you said about this whole Sword of the Jedi thing is true. I think that’s what she’s doing too. Right now she needs us to prove that she isn’t alone and that we care about her, not our own selfish wishes. I know she will never love me. Not the way she loves you, anyway. “Off and on I’ve been her best friend since she was a little girl. She’s been there for the worst days of my life but I haven’t always been there when she needed me. I suppose between you and Durron, I owe you for bringing her back from the Dark Side after Anakin died. But I won’t be absent in her life again. If we keep this stupid competition up, we will only push her further away. And right now she needs to know that we are here for her.” He paused and took a deep breath and I wondered if he was drawing upon the Force to give him strength to do something that I know broke his heart, because if it had been me, my heart would have shattered. “I’m willing to stand back and let the two of you—you know—find each other again, because, as much as she may need me as her friend, I know she really wants your love even if she doesn’t know it herself yet.” I swallowed and just held his gaze for a long time. My respect for him had immediately multiplied tenfold. Finally, I cleared my throat and said, “Zekk, I don’t know what to say. Thank you seems so insignificant because I’m not sure I could do this.” “Just don’t ever hurt her, because Han isn’t the one you need to fear,” his eyes narrowed threateningly and I simply nodded. I held out my hand which he took and I said, “For Jaina, then.” He smiled, firmly shook my hand and said, “For Jaina. Every sword needs a good shield. Together we will be that shield.” ~fin~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This isn't at all what I set out to write, but I think this is much better. Well, what did you think?...

	this exactly how i'd imagine thing will go if Jag does end up with Jaina. Jaina tries to shut both of them out, but Jag and Zekk both realize that she will still need both of them as friends and one of them as more. and Zekk's 'Han isn't the one you need to fear' line was great. now that Anakin's gone and Jacen's a Sith, Zekk will take the role of protective big brother who knows how to use a lightsaber. nice story, and very well written. -----signature----- Qui-Gon, Jango, Dooku, Mace, Padme, Obi-Wan, Bail, Obi-Wan, Biggs, Palpatine, Anakin... lots of people died in the movies...

	I think this was beautiful and very much an unwritten moment that fits right into the LOTF series. Perfect thought: I trusted Zekk and I know he trusted me as far as facing combat went. We were on the same side of the war this time and as such we had formed a soldier’s trust between us. I, however, didn’t trust him one iota with Jaina, but then I knew he felt the same for me. You've got Jag down well. I can never get a handle on his "Chiss-ness". I kept telling myself that I didn’t care one way or another because we were through the moment she fired at me over Tenupe, despite what she had told me before she fired. How does someone get over that? He has every right to not let it go. That's Skywalker level forgiving to forgive what Leia and Jaina did. reminded me way too much of the time she had that silly “picnic” with Kyp Durron and me on Borleias. And somehow I knew from that experience that things weren’t going to be good. Yes, but the younger guy gets the girl...isn't Jag younger than Zekk? I didn’t need to be a Jedi to understand him completely, and I felt a blush and then anger. I stood and moved away, not wanting to look at this man who probably seen, through Jaina’s memories, every personal and incredibly intimate moment that she remembered of our time together. Exactly, that has to really creep Jag out!!! I loved this!!! I loved hearing Jag's thoughts. Here he is the outsider in many ways, but he is always so brave. You're making me like him and making me think J/J ! Weird, but good I suppose. -----signature----- Whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, with open arms and open eyes.

I've been toying with this idea since Sacrifice. I'm still not convinced Zekk won't be killed in LotF, but a discussion over in the Kyp Durron Fan Club got me to thinking...What if Zekk doesn't fall on Darth Wannabe's lightsaber? Zekk could play the part of the future Empress's brother very well. Amazing how that idea come from someone suggesting Antares Draco could be descended from Zekk... Thanks for reading... SakuraTsukikage Great job. Just really great. I can really see this happening. It seems very, very canon to me. I'm impressed. Amd the Zeltron gigolo line was great . Thank you!!! So can I, I'm not sure it fits with a spoiler for the next book that I've read, but I could see this happening during LotF sometime. Besides if you read my response from above, I like the idea that Antares being descended from Zekk. Well, they are acting like gigoloes.... iamobiwan1970 I think this was beautiful and very much an unwritten moment that fits right into the LOTF series. Thank you!!! Perfect thought: I trusted Zekk and I know he trusted me as far as facing combat went. We were on the same side of the war this time and as such we had formed a soldier’s trust between us. I, however, didn’t trust him one iota with Jaina, but then I knew he felt the same for me. You've got Jag down well. I can never get a handle on his "Chiss-ness". Actually, I model a lot of Jag's stiffness from my own hubby...And I like the Chiss so I can understand where he came from. But thank you for the complement on my characterization...Since I've started writing fan fic, he has become one of my favorite characters to explore... I kept telling myself that I didn’t care one way or another because we were through the moment she fired at me over Tenupe, despite what she had told me before she fired. How does someone get over that? He has every right to not let it go. That's Skywalker level forgiving to forgive what Leia and Jaina did. I agree. But recently I read another explaination to Jag's "forgiveness" of Jaina and particularly Leia--He understands that they were only doing what they precieved as being their duty. And the fact that he was prepared to do the same thing for the same reason. I like this reasoning too and it actually is more in fitting with Jag's character than holding a grudge against them. reminded me way too much of the time she had that silly “picnic” with Kyp Durron and me on Borleias. And somehow I knew from that experience that things weren’t going to be good. Yes, but the younger guy gets the girl...isn't Jag younger than Zekk? Again!!! Yeah, Jag is younger...Zekk being born in 7 and Jag in 8. I didn’t need to be a Jedi to understand him completely, and I felt a blush and then anger. I stood and moved away, not wanting to look at this man who probably seen, through Jaina’s memories, every personal and incredibly intimate moment that she remembered of our time together. Exactly, that has to really creep Jag out!!! I loved this!!! I loved hearing Jag's thoughts. Here he is the outsider in many ways, but he is always so brave. You're making me like him and making me think J/J ! Weird, but good I suppose. I like to explore that whole Zekk/Jag thing that Denning had going on in Dark Nest. And I think it would have to freak Jag out... First, he has no idea what it's like to be able to read someone elses thoughts, emotions. So, the concept of Zekk being able to see Jaina's memories, thoughts would seem weird. Second, the whole concept of Zekk being able to also feel what Jaina was feeling...literally... Would creep anyone out. But at the same time, if I were Jag, I'd want reassurance that this was a passing thing..if you know what I mean, without getting myself in trouble with the Mod Squad... Not weird...I never thought I'd be passing K/J fics to read J/J ones... And I honestly think I converted myself because I enjoy Jag's complexity that everyone misses because of his "grimmness". Hananiah Ah see I know the boys could be adult about the situation. Great viggie I liked the male rivalry and the heart in this fic I think they could be too. Thanks... Lyne Great viggie. Thanks!!

	Oh.. Jag and Zekk! We were on the same side of the war this time and as such we had formed a soldier’s trust between us. I, however, didn’t trust him one iota with Jaina, but then I knew he felt the same for me. falls over laughing That's Jag, to a "t." “Just don’t ever hurt her. Because, Han isn’t the one you need to fear,” his eyes narrowed threateningly and I simply nodded. I then held out my hand which he took and I said, “For Jaina, then.” He smiled and firmly shook my hand and said, “For Jaina. Every sword needs a good shield. Together we will be that shield.” This is so bittersweet and mature (gasp! They're not being crazy hormonal teenage boys ) of them both -- and I could see this as a plausible outcome, too. Awesome viggie! -----signature----- Padawan to Jedi_Of_Ennth!

	Lovely job, Flowerlady! This fits in extremely well with what's going on in canon at the moment, and you've captured the J/J/Z dynamic very well. Everyone's very in-character here, and their motivations are believable. Jag's POV is always interesting, and I could defintely see Zekk stepping aside if he thought it would make Jaina happy. I like the three of them as a team, no matter who Jaina ends up with, and if canon does decide to go J/J, I hope this is how it happens. -----signature----- "Maybe he'd smashed her like a bag of chips in his drive to get some."--Jacob Black, Breaking Dawn "Every time you say Zekk abandoned Jaina in DJ, the Force kills a kitten."--jedi_of_ennth

	Meshugenah Oh.. Jag and Zekk! We were on the same side of the war this time and as such we had formed a soldier’s trust between us. I, however, didn’t trust him one iota with Jaina, but then I knew he felt the same for me. falls over laughing That's Jag, to a "t." Thanks..I love Jag's character... “Just don’t ever hurt her. Because, Han isn’t the one you need to fear,” his eyes narrowed threateningly and I simply nodded. I then held out my hand which he took and I said, “For Jaina, then.” He smiled and firmly shook my hand and said, “For Jaina. Every sword needs a good shield. Together we will be that shield.” This is so bittersweet and mature (gasp! They're not being crazy hormonal teenage boys ) of them both -- and I could see this as a plausible outcome, too. It was bittersweet and very mature. I would actually like to see this as an outcome too. Because the other one that I've considered is sad for all the Zekk fans out there.... Awesome viggie! Thanks for reading!!! Emerald_Lady Lovely job, Flowerlady! This fits in extremely well with what's going on in canon at the moment, and you've captured the J/J/Z dynamic very well. Everyone's very in-character here, and their motivations are believable. Jag's POV is always interesting, and I could defintely see Zekk stepping aside if he thought it would make Jaina happy. I like the three of them as a team, no matter who Jaina ends up with, and if canon does decide to go J/J, I hope this is how it happens. Thank you!!! I really like the J/J/Z dynamic. I think they could make a very good trio. If Zekk would step back and take on the big brother role in Jaina's life and given better characteration to bring out more of his sense of humor; if Jag remains the "outsider" because of he's not a Jedi but still can keep up with them (like Han but not like Han in character per se), and of course the two of them are always having to save Jaina from doing something crazy, until the day Jag finds himself as being the Emperor. But we all know it won't happen, this is profic we're talking about... Thanks so much for reading...

	Despite our competition over Jaina, in the many months that we have been working together, he and I had formed some sort of—something. I really like this line. Made me pause and chuckle at it's truth. This means, I have absolutely no time for romance, nor do I really want one. So, I’m only telling you two once, stop the Zeltron gigolo behavior now, because, quite frankly, it is very unbecoming!” At last. And good for her that she admits liking the attention. “Just don’t ever hurt her. Because, Han isn’t the one you need to fear,” his eyes narrowed threateningly and I simply nodded. I then held out my hand which he took and I said, “For Jaina, then.” He smiled and firmly shook my hand and said, “For Jaina. Every sword needs a good shield. Together we will be that shield.” That is truly beautiful. -----signature----- Feel so good, but I'm old 2000 years of chasing's taking it's toll

	Of course, unlike the last time, he was doing the same and like two adolescent, hormone happy school boys, we competed for her attention. Yes, that sounds EXACTLY like them I’m sorry that I told Jaina you weren’t a good enough pilot but there was no way I could have taken both you and Durron in our squadron, dealing with Durron’s infatuation was frustrating enough. Yeah, I'll bet it was. even though he's not Force sensitive, he'd probably have been driven insane “You know, you and me aren’t really that different.” I raised my scarred brow and said, “We aren’t that similar either.” Zekk shrugged and deadpanned, “Black hair, green eyes, pilots, stubborn, a bit on the mysterious side…” Zekk for the win. Hooray for black haired, green eyed pilots That was amazing! I could definitely see this happening -----signature----- ~MTFBWY~ **Holder of the Straw of Disaster** All I want is to be in the light

	Healer_Leona Despite our competition over Jaina, in the many months that we have been working together, he and I had formed some sort of—something. I really like this line. Made me pause and chuckle at it's truth. I've worked in heathcare for 10 years and I know nurses and/or doctors who can't stand each other but when a patient's life is on the line, they can put their differences aside and save a life. For soldiers it is the same. And besides, I'm convinced, take Jaina out of the equation, Jag and Zekk could be friends. This means, I have absolutely no time for romance, nor do I really want one. So, I’m only telling you two once, stop the Zeltron gigolo behavior now, because, quite frankly, it is very unbecoming!” At last. And good for her that she admits liking the attention. I thinks she does, especially from Jag and because Zekk is the reason Jag shows her attention she plays on Zekk's behavior...It's all a visious circle. “Just don’t ever hurt her. Because, Han isn’t the one you need to fear,” his eyes narrowed threateningly and I simply nodded. I then held out my hand which he took and I said, “For Jaina, then.” He smiled and firmly shook my hand and said, “For Jaina. Every sword needs a good shield.

Yeah, I'll bet it was. even though he's not Force sensitive, he'd probably have been driven insane I'm sure that he would have been. Jag would have felt extremely out of place in the squad with Jaina, Zekk and Kyp always in a mind meld and knowing that they both had feelings for her. “You know, you and me aren’t really that different.” I raised my scarred brow and said, “We aren’t that similar either.” Zekk shrugged and deadpanned, “Black hair, green eyes, pilots, stubborn, a bit on the mysterious side…” Zekk for the win. Hooray for black haired, green eyed pilots Zekk has to win sometime.. but besides his obvious statement, it's truer on a deeper level too. I'm not saying there is a lot in common with them but there is some. That was amazing! I could definitely see this happening Thanks ....The more I think about it, so can I...

	Wow. You've actually made me cry a little. Poor Zekk...Your characterization was spot on- how he loves her so much that he's willing to step back and give up on something he's wanted for years for Jaina's sake. Nice work. -----signature----- all Zekk, all the time (redesign!) - http://vent-crawler.sitesled.com Lifeday Candles - http://boards.theforce.net/Message.aspx?topic=28264205&brd=10477&replies=0 To Ease the Pain - http://boards.theforce.net/beyond_the_saga/b10477/28240759/p1/?2
