❝ okay so i might have gotten him a little bit electrocuted! but it’s fine—- he’ll be fine, i swear mom; i’ll fix him, i promise! ❞ sure he avoided blame, and attempted to shove it onto his father but he made a promise– and the fact he’s already attempting to sort the little droids insides out and figure out what was short circuited and what was fried from what is working and functioning– should prove at least that he was trying to rectify his mistake.
a heavy exhale as the boy reveals what had happened. not of frustration, exactly, but for the sake of common sense, and — an aspect of TRUST. ❝ ben, sweetheart, you could’ve just told me. i wouldn’t have gotten mad — and i’m not mad now. ❞ a pause, as she crosses her arms, greens shifting from her son’s blues to the mess of a droid on the table. ❝ besides, i’m sure i can lend a hand. ❞
hands not stopping their stirring of the ingredients in the bowl before her, she turns her head to look at her son over her shoulder. she smiles at his use of words ( the new lingo these days, she’s sure ), and focuses in on the stirring utensil with her mind. hands retreating from the aforementioned object, she rubs them together to get rid of whatever flour lingered upon them while she let the ingredients stir themselves. ❝ what’s up, kid? ❞
❝ not my fault if he was faulty, mom! blame dad– he should’ve looked the little guy over before he brought it home. ❞ oh yes shift the blame as he tosses out a fried cerebral chip, the boy quickly scrounging through a box of extra parts next to him on the counter.
❝ no, i’m not blaming dad. the thing was FINE when we brought him home. ❞ she knows her son well enough – and knows her own species well enough - to distinguish a truth from a lie. ❝ ben, what were you doing ? ❞
❝ there isn’t a creature that truly DOES know what they’re doing. in a galaxy like this, it’s a surprise that everyone’s still functioning properly. don’t worry about it. trust me. you’ll be fine.❞
he may have been practicing in the house ; and he may have reflected and stun bolt into the kitchen, which just may have hit the small little droid leaving it whirring and smoking and likely short circuited, but it’s not like he’ll admit that.
❝ sparky had a lil’ bit of a problem, so i’m fixing him. ❞
skeptical green eyes narrow as mara places her hands on her hips — lips parted to speak, though not QUITE finding the words to say. for really, she can’t really believe him.
❛ you know, living out here — among the stars, in a big, black void – never gets OLD, does it? it’s pretty amazing, actually. ❜
it’s a CONSTANT; space, time. and though stars may fade, others are continuously formed to take their place. CONSTANT. war seems to be a constant as well — such as this one. creature will always fight creature, and just as the stars fade, life fades - always to be replaced somehow, someway.
“Well, you know — it helps that I have a great teacher.”
REGARDLESS, Mara’s words are an encouragement,
ones that Jaina is going to hold on to.
❛ — that is VERY true.❜ a grin – for as humble as she may be (really), mara takes whatever compliment she can ; if only to reflect that positivity onto someone like jaina.

This is an independent roleplay blog for Mara Jade of the Star Wars Expanded Universe. I do not claim ownership over this character. I will RP with any fandom.
Any icons that I use on this blog are mine. Please do not use/take them ; nor am I a resource blog! Please refrain from asking how I do certain things if we have not interacted.
I will gladly RP with original characters if the said oc has a sufficient backstory. However, I don't RP with oc children, or oc siblings of Natasha.
I am highly selective, and will only RP/interact with those whom I follow, who also follow me. Please do not try to approach me with plotting/interacting if I don't follow you. This includes the sending of memes, replying to open starters, ooc interactions, liking starter calls of any kind, and so on. Any messages from non-mutuals regarding the previous will be deleted.
I am not an entirely exclusive blog, but I do have exclusives. You can find my current exclusive partners in my navigation.
Writing and RPing is an outlet for me, and a place and time that is meant for and set aside for me. I've had bad experiences with people on here, and I'd like to keep my comfort, as well as other people's comfort ideal. I'm not open to interacting with everybody, sometimes regardless of a mutual follow. If I'm interested in keeping up a relationship with someone, I talk to said person as much as I can (depending on how well I'm received). If they seem disinterested, I back off, and move on with my life, because I respect their privacy and space, and don't want to intrude on their comfort. I expect the same from others. Please respect my privacy and my boundaries.
I am presently not open to shipping, as I don't particularly find it comfortable with Mara, considering both her orientation, background, and later marriage to Luke Skywalker.
Any triggering posts will be tagged following this format = "tw: trigger". NSFW posts will simply be tagged with "nsfw". I don't have any triggers, so it is likely several triggering posts will be posted. However, please let me know if I ever fail to tag accordingly. The last thing I want is for you to have to see a trigger.
Triggers that may appear on this blog include:
--Blood.
--Gore.
