The Edge

Just a talk

Mak's pov:

I sit on my uncomfortably small bed and reach for my leather bag opening it slowly as my knuckles rub against its fine leather,
I reach into the bag grabbing a necklace with my mothers face on it. I lock my eyes onto her face "Im sorry" suddenly the door slides open, without emotion I throw my necklace back into my bag, I look up at the door and see the masters padawan

Thoughts:
Oh no am in trouble? Why is she here?

The padawan looks down at me and gives me a welcoming smile "did I scare you?" "No i dont get scared that easily commander."
She crosses her arms gives me a questioning look "then how come I can sense your fear, and why were you trying to hide that necklace?" What how does she know? I sit in shock as i have no anwser, "ho..how do yo..." she cuts me off saying " afterall i am a jedi, i can sense your feelings." She says arrogantly. "So why were you trying to hide that necklace?" She asks curiously, "I dont think i can speak to you informally commander." She smiles widely and convincingly says "Its just a talk, it wownt do us any harm and stop with the 'commander' just call me Nala." I look into her eyes and smile "well its a picture of my mother." I get the necklace out of my bag once again and place it on my bed, she walks over to my bed sitting on its side next to me, she grabs the necklace as she says astonishingly "shes beautiful" I slowly turn away from her and look at the wall next to me trying to contain my emotions as both anger and sadness pumps through my heart. I feel her moving closer as she says "You miss her dont you?" I close my eyes as i can feel the anger force out tears, "Yeah, i do miss her, i miss her a lot" I look at Nala as i can feel her smooth skin through my thin bodysuit as she places her hand on my left shoulder trying to comfort me "Dont worry you'll see her when we end the war." I turn away as I slowly start to break down in anger and tears "No....I wownt." I say in between sobs.
"I'm sor..." i cut her off as i wipe my tears "I'm sorry Nala but I need to get some rest before tommorows mission." I put the necklace deep into the bag once more as Nala nods and gets into her bed. I lay down in my bed and roll over to the left and face the wall as more tears break through.
