Jag looked over to his father then, as always amazed at his strategic mind and analysis abilities. “If my post is made permanent that will be a top priority. ”

His father chuckled, “You mean when your post is made permanent. I’ve spoken to Daala; she’ll do what she has to.”

Jag raised his eyebrow with a wry look on his face. “What did you offer in return?”

“Don’t worry Jagged, I didn’t offer her what she really wants. You are to be married after all.”

Jag snorted. “As long as that’s understood.” Do you think Jag gets his sense of humor from Soontir? This is damned hysterical!!
Or...maybe Soontir was serious??

---

Yes I do think Jag gets his sense of humor from Soontir.

And I hope 'Tir wasn't serious.

"No thanks needed for telling the truth, son." he said and continued. "Now what of the Veila woman. When will she be extradited?"

Jagged took a deep breath. He had known this question would come and he was prepared for the hell his answer would soon bring down on him. He hoped that he could make his father quickly see that his decision had been the correct one. "She will not be extradited to Imperial courts Sir, I've signed a waiver."

"Daala is going to execute her herself then," Soontir shrugged. “The result is the same.”

“She has been pardoned Sir.” Jag quickly blurted out while his resolve was strong, “and I have agreed.”
As put out as I am by Tahiri's character right now this was just the thing to do. Did I mention what
good work you do?

Yeah I'm not happy about Tahiri right now either. But she'll play big in Fly Well.

Not to mention the position it would put me in with the Solos…'Hello, I’m your new son-in-law and I’m going to execute Anakin’s girlfriend now'.”

The anger on Soontir’s face became three-fold. “You are allowing your personal responsibilities to cloud your judgment!”

“And your allowing vengeance to cloud yours,” Jag said as he prepared for all the possible reactions that his father could give him and the thought of most of them broke his heart.

Powerful father son stuff! You are nailing my idea of Soontir and Jag's characters.

Thanks Connie. That was the purpose of this chapter.

Baron Fel stood stoic and unmoving as if his ears had malfunctioned and he had not heard or understood what his sons answer had been. Finally he recovered enough to add in the voice that Jag remembered as the ‘pre-ass whipping’ voice. “So to be clear, Gilad Pellaeon’s murderer is to be ‘rehabilitated’ by the man who obliterated Carida? Is what my son is telling me?”

I LOVE the pre-ass whipping voice! Priceless!

“Oh yes,” Soontir added flatly. “Forever indebted because Solo got him off after he committed genocide. That makes me feel a lot better about the situation Jagged.”

This makes me want to wail "just leave Kyp alone!!" like the you tube video of the Britney guy...

---

"Leave Kyp alone!

But you have to see it from Soontir Fels POV and how that particualar character would react to Kyp Durron rehabilitating his best friends murderer.

I think he'd be upset.

Jag much less so because he is from a younger generation and actually knows the two people involved.

Continuing to shake his head Soontir Fel found himself baffled for the first time in many years. “Why do you want leverage over her Jagged? What is it Tahiri Veila has that you want? She’s an orphan with no political clout and now a disgraced Jedi Knight with an extremely tarnished reputation. Do I need to tell you the rumors that fly around the nature of her relationship with Darth Caedus?”

“I don’t care about gossip Father, whether it true or not. Tahiri Veila could be useful to me on a personal level and that is what I care about.”

“Jagged,” Soontir said softly, which a few moments before hand Jag wouldn’t have thought possible. “I hardly see Jaina as the type of woman who would tolerate such things.”

EWEE!!

"That is grotesque, and I assure you not what I meant. You know of my promise to Daala to appoint more female Moffs."

Soontir nodded and Jag slowly continued. "Father, you know what a pit of vipers they are, I'm sure their already planning to usurp me as soon as Luke's back is turned and he's dealing with his next crisis."

"Jagged what do the Moff's have to do with Tahiri Veila?"

Jag shrugged as if his next words wouldn't cause Mustafaric volcano's to erupt from his father, "I'm going to appoint her as a Moff."
*falls off chair* Didn't see that coming....

Jagged closed his eyes and continued to rub his temples but nothing seemed to ease the pain in his head these days other than being with Jaina and having her perform one of her Force fueled massages. "No, I didn't object but I probably should have."

Jagged grinned, the pain in his head easing ever so slightly. "There will be no need to take the Starflare. The Solo's have made a gift of the Love Commander to Jaina and me for a wedding present."

Soontir chuckled. "That’s a nice ride, but you will rename it I assume?"

"Of course," came Jaggeds typical crisp reply. "My Betrothed has chosen The MaraSyal."

As a rule Chiss didn't feel anger but Soontir knew that at times it had taken a toll Jag and he had became frustrated if not angry. The incident towards the end of the Yuuzhan Vong War, when he and Jaina had been granted a rare two day leave and had been photographed on a beach with less than swimming attire on had nearly exhausted his extensive fuse.

Jaina had thought it funny. A reporter had quoted

A perfect example of why they are so good together. This is so much fun Kick!!

The Moffs had been given the choice of Jag’s leadership or the wrath of Queen Mother Tenel Ka for trying to kill her and her daughter. The Moffs had quickly and unanimously chosen Jag. Um...not sure if that was the better deal. I know Tenel is fierce but Jag can make their lives hell.

After along moment of watching his father lost in thought, Jagged finally spoke. "I too wish it was Davin standing here and breathing air instead of me Sir. He would have been much more suited to this."

The words stung Soontir more than Jag would ever know. He loved all his children the same as any good parent did. Davin had been more 'his' child. They had had more in common and had connected on more levels, and he knew that he would never really recover from that boy’s death.

However, he would never wish to trade Jaggeds life for Davins and knew what Davin would have said to the mere thought of it. His eyes narrowed, "Don't you ever say that again Jagged...ever."

Jag would never forget the look that crossed his father’s face in that moment. It was part rage, betrayal, disgust and utter astonishment. After the initial maelstrom faded from Soontir’s face his words came hard and cold. “May I ask why my son would pardon the murderer of one of my best friends?”

Jagged knew that this was going to be some of the most difficult words he had ever spoken but he knew he was right. “I’m not a hypocrite. If the Empire executes her for Gilad’s death, what’s to stop the Alliance for coming after Jaina and Luke for Darth Caedus’s death?”

“That’s different Jagged and you know it. Plus no one is happier to be rid of Caedus than Daala, I doubt she’ll seek any charges.”

“I realize that Sir, but it’s irrelevant to the moral point. Plus, what am I to do? Alienate Luke Skywalker by executing one his Knights, that wouldn’t be particularly responsible right now. Not to mention the position it would put me in with the Solos…'Hello, I’m your new son-in-law and I’m going to execute Anakin’s girlfriend'.”

He would never be able to say to Jagged how proud he was of him...of everything the young man had accomplished. If the truth be told there had been a time when he had greatly feared for his son, and not just the fear of sending him to face the Yuuzhan Vong invasion in what he had felt at the time was a certain death. What had really worried Soontir Fel was how raw and stubborn Jagged had been in his youth. He had been frowned upon more than once at the Academy for his unorthodox ways and tendency to challenge orders and go against the status quo.

Soontir had honestly believed that like Davin, Chak, and Cherith before him...Jagged Fel would not have lived to see thirty life days. His heart nearly burst with joy to know that he had been wrong.

The boy was scrappy.

The boy was a survivor.

You know, sometimes it's good to be someone who thinks outside the square. (Like Anakin.)
