There was that word again, cyar’ika. Had she not been raised Mando’ad, Jaron would question if she knew what that word really meant, but since she had, well he would run with it. It was that he didn’t like it, but he knew what the word could be taken to mean and was unsure whether she meant it as such. It really didn’t matter because Jaron returned the embrace, or caught her was more like it. Turning to see her blade push through the face a Jedi that didn’t fall. He shrugged and put his helmet to her forehead, a Mandalorian sign of affection.
“Well, of course I came. I told I would as soon as my mission was over, and it looks like a good thing I came too. These guys are all bang the door down types. You hurt?”
Of course Jaron had to ask. Their last battle had seen her hurt, part to a stray blaster bolt, and the other due to her trying to hard to do something that she could just do. There had been no lessons since she left, not from him, but he had hoped the one lesson he was trying to get across had sunk in. She just needed to let the power flow. If she could see it in her mind it was possible. Refinement would come with practice, and battle was not the time to try to push oneself, unless her life depended on it.
With the battle around them, it did not remain their own world for long. Jaron sensed a new group rushing from the other side of the temple and heading their way. Twirling his saber, Jaron let the other drop to his belt once more. Taking Dianah by the hand he ran with her, and with gentle nudge launched her at the oncoming group. Why not throw her, she would know what to do.
For his own part Jaron rushed the group and began to hack away at them. This was the boring part of combat. Large groups that had to be cut down were a tedious task not befitting someone of his skill, but here they were. His eyes kept on the temple. Jaron was not sure of the orders, he wasn’t there to receive them, so as the opportunist he was, Jaron would help, and pay himself with whatever valuables he found inside.
“What got me out of my cave, this did,” he said as Dianah came along side him once more. “I may also have decided that being alone isn’t all it’s cracked up to be anymore. Maybe I even missed you,” his tease came as the banter came as natural as breathing. Yes, he missed her.
Boots hit the steps of the temple. Each step meant more bodies around Jaron. The second saber had been made active again as he needed it. There were some who looked on, horrified they were being slaughtered by one who used to quote their mantra. There is no passion, only peace. Yet as he killed each one with passionate strikes their final breath was an admittance they were wrong. Passion was very much alive, and it lived through Jaron Lesan.
