That was great. I loved that Mara was chewing him out for the brawl. After all, a Jedi Master should know better. LOL.

“You’re so cute when you’re threatening bodily harm.” He scrunched his face at her.

He's trying to wiggle his way out of her upset but she's not having any of it.

Great job.

Luke should have been embarrassed about that brawl, I think. And Mara let him off far too lightly in Union. :p

Thanks! :D

I've never actually read Union (seen a few pages online and know the general gist of it) so I don't really know what happened at this brawl, but I can see Mara being very annoyed at Luke for having gotten himself into such a mess.

This was great - loved the banter ("don't be a baby", "unsympathetic wench" - classic). And then the tenderness at the end mixed with her calling him an 'idiot', with I suspect much less malice - is just perfect Mara.

You're not missing a great deal, as it's wildly sappy and rather OOC. :p The brawl consists of a bachelor party Han throws for Luke, in which they run into some swoop gang trouble. Mara doesn't even chew Luke out for getting himself injured, so I thought I'd rectify things. :p

Thanks so much! I was worried about my banter sounding in-character, so I'm glad you liked it.
