Hunter Twilight

I remain in the room, wanting to be alone for a while.

HJ Twilight

I'm returning to the command center from the 'party' at the Senate Square, not really in any mood to celebrate. After watching Ava get her behind handed to her and be carted away in a kolto tank, I was feeling a bit sick. That on top of the sickness I already felt from all the backstabbing and plotting going on, I wanted nothing more than to find a place to lay down and try not to vomit.

"Right. I'll be sure to let him know soon. I just have to think of the right thing to say." I give Mand'alor a slight smile. "Thank you, ma'am, for your understanding. It was a pleasure to fight by your side."

Hunter Twilight

“I’ll stick around for a few more days to say my goodbyes, and of course I won’t abandon the fight against Sucal. Even if I’m done with the Mando’ade for now, my family is still the Twilights.”

Hunter Twilight

“If your successor takes issue with my leave of absence, then I will know my fate is to be apart from the clans. If he is not someone I agree with as Mand’alor, then I will not return. If I find a path that better suits Hunter Twilight, then I will let Kamari Ordo pass. I believe I have honored his legacy by giving him one last battle. He, like so many others, will be a casualty of Ava Cadera. And besides, since everybody and their mother seems to know who I really am anyways...”

Hunter Ordo

"I have no doubt that you will help bring the Mando'ade in a new, hopefully better direction... What I do doubt is my ability to follow along with it." I look down at my feet for a moment, trying to collect my thoughts through my emotion. "I need time to get my head in the right place, and I don't think I can do that while among the clans. I need time away to find my place." I look up again. "If you know who I am, then you know that I was not born a Mandalorian. I became one to honor my fallen friend. If I know him as wall as I believe I do... and being that I still have a few of his memories, I should think I know him quite intimately, I believe he would agree that perhaps I was too hasty in my attempt to follow the Warrior's Path. So... with your permission, I'd like to take the Wanderer's Path instead. Not Dar'manda, but not a Clan Brother either."

Hunter Ordo

I swat her words away. "I don't care about any of that! What I'm saying is that the Mandalorian way is flawed. Those Saxon youths... All they wanted to do was please their Mand'alor. Some of them were younger than me, with this being their first battle. They just wanted to prove they were strong and loyal warriors, and Ava commanded them to waste their lives for her. They died dishonorably because they were told to. Even if they knew it was wrong, they had no choice because their honor code forbid them from standing up for themselves." I stand up, clearly shaken. "When Talion and I interrogated Duny Saxon, I saw how messed up he was. He wanted to confess, and he knew what had happened was not right, but he was so afraid to dishonor his Mand'alor. He was almost willing to let himself be turned into a drooling idiot by Zar'kun if it meant he could stay loyal to his Mand'alor." I shake my head. "With respect, Mand'alor, I'm not here to ask for you to rationalize it for me. I'm not a child and I don't need you to explain what happened as if I don't understand."

Hunter Ordo

"Alright. We should... find someplace secluded to talk." I go with Mand'alor to a different room and shut the doors behind us. "It goes without saying that you should be congratulated for claiming this title. You deserve it, Ba'buir." I find a chair and sit down. "That being said... I don't feel good about what happened. Any of it. That Ava would do such a thing to her own people, and how so many were manipulated into going along with her deception. She used their own honor and devotion against themselves. She took everything we stand for and Mando'ade and threw it back in our faces... and we let her do it."

Jakito Twilight

"We're grateful to hear that recent events haven't completely put you off. We welcome any help you and your people can provide." I look at Becca. "We should also see if what remains of the Republic military will be willing to help. They were, after all, tricked into fighting for a madman. Those that have come to their senses will want to see justice done."

Becca Twilight

"Good idea. We might need to give them a few days to reorganize themselves, but once things are squared away and the Republic figures out who to take orders from now that Sucal is gone, we can petition them for help."

Hunter Ordo

"Tem... Mand'alor." I finally say. "I understand there is a lot to do, but the next time you are available, I think we should talk. Privately."

Hunter Ordo

I jump to my feet at seeing the new Mand'alor, but I don't salute or say anything.

Becca Twilight

"So, they are willing to help us at least one more time? To finally put an end to Sucal and his followers?"

Salazar Greshh

"Excellent." I go to follow Jerus, but hang back a moment to address those staying behind. "We will be in contact within a few days. In the meantime, I suggest you all rest up, and take stock of potential allies. The more people we have on our side, the fewer Trayus does." I look at Korré and bow. "My lady."

Korré

I bow slightly back. "Lord Greshh." Once he and Vette leave, I look at Becca. "He seems... friendly."

Becca Twilight

"He's usually nicer when I'm around. Part of an old bond we share. But he seems to like you regardless."

Korré

"Yes, it seems I'm very popular with Sith Lords these days. How luck for me."

Hunter Ordo

I can't help but chuckle lightly at that.
