Merrin

You came back to the mantis, hooking your lightsaber back into your belt. Cal did not follow you into the ship, talking to Cere.

You sat down and rubbed your eyes, you could tell that Merrin was standing in front of you and could also feel her emotions of worry and anxiety.

"You are late" she said, slight worry in your voice. "You said you would return by sunset. It is past sunset"

"We were sidetracked" you said, opening your eyes and looking up at Merrin. She had a frown on her face and her grey forehead creased. She huffed, slightly pacing the ship which you knew she would have been doing as she waited for you to return.

"But I'm back" you said, trying to stop her worry. "I'm safe"

Merrin sighed, she was facing emotions she had never properly had before, that of anxiety for someone else and worry about their safety. When she was on Dathomer she knew where her sisters were always and they would never leave the temple. You however were different, she did not know where you would go or assure herself of your safety.

"I will always come back to you" you said, standing and taking her hands in yours. "Always"

Merrin frowned, still unsure at your persuasion, she knew you were not lying, however, neither you nor she could assure that.

"Trust me? Please?" you murmured.

"Okay" Merrin said quietly. "But if I think you are in danger I will come for you"

"Thank you" you said, smiling at how firmly she said it and the look of determination in her eyes. "I have no idea where I would be without you"

"Dead on Nur" she said simply.

You chuckled slightly, remembering how she saved you, Cal and Cere. "I would be yes" you said, kissing her nose. This made her eyes widen and an embarrassed smile fall on her lips. She touched her nose and smiled properly, she was so happy that she had you and that you were safe.
