[quote=@Dervish] Shiri: A Padawan Twi'lik whom under other circumstances I would either have not noticed entirely or found her unoffensive enough. Now, it is nothing about her personality or her place in the Order, but she's a problem that suffers from her species' teenage hormonal drive to mate with whatever looks dashing enough and says enough nice things, not unlike humans. Her infatuation with Xid has compromised his judgement, and as he just proved, he isn't above reciprocating nauseating infatuation and doing stupid things to protect a girl he barely knows. So now, he lays battered and out of commission with considerable injury and he may not be able to perform if an escape attempt is necessary - or, if by chance I find a way to get him into Darth Nyiss' systems. Maybe instead of trying to find genetic markers for the Dark Side, I should have dedicated my life to defeating adolescent sex drives, then maybe Xid wouldn't be being brutalized on a daily basis at real risk to his life, and this Shiri girl could have amounted to something more than a tempest who might have doomed every captive on the ship. If I were capable of a stronger emotional response, I might have done something rash, like insinuate her mother was conceived in Bantha Fodder and offer Xid the kindest of gestures; a full palmed slap across the face. But unlike these two, I will not indulge in immediate, fleeting gratification. Note to self; If I escape from this predicament, petition the Jedi Order to make sterilization mandatory for membership. It is clear self-discipline and sense of duty has failed in a catastrophic way amongst the Order. [/quote] I just laughed so hard at this... it's not funny. XD
