Sweethoney, how does the meeting with the senate go, and how does Jango feel about leaving his mate to deal with that (nearly) alone?
Scowling deeply as
he watched the podium from the hall entrance where Obi-Wan had made
him promise to stay, Jango hands itched to wrap around his blasters
as the roar of the Senators bickering continued around them without
pause.
The information
that the Jedi Order actually had secondary genders, had always
had them apparently, was causing an uproar that Jango hadn’t seen
the likes of and he bitterly wondered how this could have so much
meaning when massacre and civil wars in the mid rim and outer rims
did not.
Then he smiled
humorlessly.
He knew the answer
to that.
The mid and outer
rims did not concern the fat cats of the core.
That was why.
But the Jedi Order,
smack dab on Coruscant who traveled to every planet in the core and
over the entire galaxy honestly?
Oh now that did
concern them.
As did the troopers
who were now jealously guarding the entire temple, not unlike
temperamental watch dogs that did not really have leashes.
Jango couldn’t
help but smirk a bit to himself, the Jedi obviously did not know how
to respond to that, weren’t in tune with their own secondary
genders enough to respond either as omegas or alphas to these new
alphas pretty much coiling around them like possessive dragons of old
around their hard won treasures.
And the Senate did
not know what to do about Jedi now having guardians and the war they
were now embroiled in.
That reminded
Jango…
His eyes flickered
around, searching, probing as he tried to understand who of these
sleemo’s were the true chief.
Oh he knew Yan
Dooku hired him but the man danced to the tune of someones else pipe,
not his own. You didn’t become a Bounty hunter of Jango’s skills
without being able to read the cards in sabbac and that also included
when someone very powerful were really working for another.
And that meant
another Sith in the gallery and if what the man himself had implied
to Obi-Wan was true, then they were right here.
His lips pursed.
‘They’d be foolish to attack now. This person has been playing
the long game if they’re in the Senate…that reminds me,’ He
furrowed his brows and looked over to the other side of the entrance
where the podium had loosened where Commander Cody stood in parade
rest, helmet covered face staring towards the Jedi podium with
Obi-Wan and the Grandmaster. ‘The chips… I’ll have to talk with
the troopers kark. Or at least some of them and let the information
spread through them.’ He grunted to himself, rubbing the back of
his neck.
Cody only twitched
a bit, head cocking towards him in an obvious move to tell he was
listening but didn’t take his eyes off the Jedi, his hand resting
where his blaster should have been but had been confiscated before he
had been allowed into the Senate.
Just like Jango’s
but Jango did not doubt that just like he, Cody had a viroblade stuck
in his boot.
Well trained.
Jedi were without
survival instincts obviously and were often manipulated by the Senate
or maybe it was more correct to say that because of their adherence
to duty the Senate had made the Jedi reckless with their own life in
a constant demand for progress and results. They needed the troopers
to look after them frankly.
‘The irony of
Jango Fett clones about to look after the life of Jedi will never
stop being just that, ironic and I imagine somewhere among the stars,
the little gods and goddesses are laughing at me right now.’ Jango
rolled his eyes a bit and focused back on where Obi-Wan was doing his
best to smooth things over with the Senate and the grandmaster had
just given up at this point and was just sitting in the pod and
floating several metal looking orbs around…
Wait was that a
game of orb klinkers?
Jango blinked
before shrugging to himself.
Jedi were children
at some point and with their powers of course they’d have
alternatives and different rules to common games…
Still…
Jango hoped the
Senate finally shut up soon, they were acting worse than Boba in his
gruesome twos and his five year old tantrum fits.
