"He saved both of us, actually." Mira murmured as she rested her elbows on the dash and rubbed her closed eyelids lightly with her fingertips. Her eyes were tired, actually, her whole body radiated exhaustion that she refused to admit to. She wasn't sure that it was physical exhaustion as much as mental...and emotional. It had been an emotional time, for her at least. Finally, after several agonizing moments of thought, Mira spoke again. "It is kind of difficult to get away from anyone when we are pinned in this little ship." It was a pathetic attempt at a joke, but it was there, none the less. His other words hit home, however. I've never had feelings for someone the way I have for you. She let out a low sigh and then drew in a slow, deep breath that seemed to calm her markedly.
Truthfully, Mira felt the same for him, or she thought she did. No, she felt that way for the Jaden that she knew before the messy affair with Saia. But she wondered to herself if she could feel that for the Jaden he was now. The Jaden that seemed so angry and so out of control. The Jaden that thought he was protecting her, but was really just scaring the hell out of her.
Her gaze finally trailed to him for a moment. "You're forgiven." Mira mumbled as she slumped back into the pilots seat. "But I think that you need to spend some more time with Jace....figure things out....I'm sure that what happened back there was pretty hard." In truth, she was thinking of what he needed, and she wasn't just totally dismissing him or invalidating his request for her to give him a chance. No, she wanted him to grow and learn the way he was supposed to, and perhaps Jace Varitek was just the Jedi to help keep Jaden on the right path.
"I am going to have to go back to Coruscant to work. They're expecting me....for the trial. You understand, right?" It was a good excuse, and a valid one,and perhaps the distance while he re-gathered himself would be good for them. It wasn't like they hadn't been apart like that before.
