Kira set the backpack against the floor under the two coat hooks and moved to stand just behind Skye. The tanned woman wrapped her arms warmly around the child’s shoulders. The blue-toned little girl settled contently back against Kira's torso and reached up to hold her forearms while they regarded ...

“Thank you.” Kira sat across from Svo’k on the dining room floor, her eyes and the set of her mouth changing a handful of times from shades of regret or shame to warmth and a brief smirk of pride before she faded back into a more distant expression. She sipped her juice once or twice and sat in sil...

Oh kriff it all… He really was a Jedi. A real one. Just look at how calm and caring and healthy he was. Not that she felt angry or even all that bitter about it at the end of the day. They were older now; she understood that some of her reasons for hating anything “Light” had been petty to begin wit...

He didn't have a kriffing clue, he just was and it seemed li...

Kira twisted her fingers together, her tanned fingers going pale at the knuckles while she stared at him and listened. He looked uncomfortable too. And what benefit would he get from lying to her? If he'd wanted to be threatening, it would be better to start things differently. If he was Jedi and th...

Svo'k : *The door opened and time stood still for a moment as her figure filled the open doorway, she was still beautiful, barely any different from the girl that he had known so many years ago. His test tightened a bit, it was as if he had not really expected her to be here, as if there was someon...

The woman started at the knock on the door. Unusual, but now and then there would be maintenance or a delivery person who bypassed the ground-level security…. Law enforcement… a neighbor… Arik? … an assassin…. …Ranae… Possibilities flicked through Kira's mind while she strode to the door, stepping i...

Coruscant, Solara Residential Apartments. Long ago. A modest income level apartment complex in a fairly safe residential area. The streets and flight lines outside buzzed with speeder and urban activity, but the walkways at this level were were modestly well maintained. It was well lit, free from m...
