"Retreat"
by Jâd Sphera (JadeSphera).


Sometimes being a Jedi really sucked, particularly when he was failing to act like one so miserably.

Losing his calm hurt more than her words.

“What you have to say about that?” her husky voice challenged.

After her sarcastic remark, she was keenly expecting his answer. She was indeed a fighter, and was the one person in the Galaxy who could push his buttons, all at once!

He kept his mouth shut before saying something he’d regret later. Turning on his heal, he opted to retreat. He knew defeat when he saw it.

This woman of green stare could disarm and beat him even when no lightsabers had been drawn.




The end.

 

Wonderful snark and discombobulation

 

I love this wording. Excellent look into the early relationship between Luke and Mara. She has his number from the start.
