Commander Tano. I request your advice in dealing with a situation I've encountered. It involves a Force user.

[ well, she's pretty sure she didn't see this coming. ]

Of course. Kylo Ren is the issue, I take it?

[It's not a conversation Maketh particularly wants to have, but here they are.

Well. Relatively.]

That is correct. He believes I deceived him. Apparently he is taking this personally.

I would rather he not do anything that would provoke the guardsmen. If he kills me, I can't hold them back.

That's a situation that would get out of hand very quickly, yes.

How does he think you've deceived him? I'm sure I don't have to tell you that lying to someone that strong in the Force isn't smart.

I'm well aware of that. I deemed it an acceptable risk to get him away from the civilians.

Nonetheless, the information I gave him was accurate. He inquired about the gods and I gave him the intelligence I had.

However, I may have claimed an alliance that is no longer valid in order to bolster my credibility. He did not check. I believe General Hux has educated him on the matter.

I don't blame you for trying. How much changes without that alliance you claimed was still intact?

[ if there's going to be a wielder of the dark side on a rampage any time soon, ahsoka wants to know what she can in advance. there are plenty of capable people here, but she's fairly certain that she's the only one used to fighting sith. ]

Unclear.

He assumed the guardsmen would follow his orders. They will not. I pointed him at the gods and suggested they would be a more suitable enemy for his talents. It is possible he may yet consider that suggestion.

We can hope.

In the meantime, try to dissuade anyone else on the guard from picking fights if they can help it. But maybe he'll turn out to be less volatile than we think he is.

I will do so.

Perhaps.

[Maketh does not share that optimism.]

[ look ahsoka's trying okay. ]

Let me know if he starts anything or if I can help mediate somehow. I can't promise I can be of any help, but at least you wouldn't be alone with him.

I am not afraid of him. It would not be the first time I have died here.

[She's afraid, perhaps. But not of that.]

I see.

Then be sure to let me know if he does kill you.

[Har, har.]

Of course, Commander. I would not want to be rude.

[ hey, she has to take levity where she can get it. ]

Thanks. And you don't have to call me Commander, you know. I haven't been in the military since I was a teenager.

What should I address you as?

Ahsoka is just fine. No rank necessary.

[It gives Maketh pause, to ignore the obvious distance between them. By right, Ashoka should be her superior. It's the way of things, and they ought to be done properly. But--here they are.]

All right.

[ here they are and maketh is the captain of the guard here. that would earn some degree of respect regardless of ahsoka's own feelings on command. ]

Thanks.

Keep me updated if you have or see another altercation with our new friend. I know he considers Jedi an automatic enemy, but I don't know about everyone else yet.

Of course.
