Jon took a break from lighting candles to watch his friends and family bustle around Summerfell setting everything up for his nameday dinner, feeling supremely happy. After the morning and afternoon he'd had, it was practically impossible for him to be feeling anything else. He finished lighting the last torch and stood back a bit to survey the ( Read more... )

The running and hiding just seemed too familiar, as did the stream of wounded flowing into the Compound. She'd seen all of it ( Read more... )

Qui-Gon had the uneasy surface calm of a man divided by too many duties--to community, to the Living Force, to his own heart--and he took a precious moment of necessary solitude in the garden before gathering his team, reorienting himself to focus on the present above all else.
