Allow me to introduce the newest family member (whom I actually had for 3 weeks now but shh) Her name is Shae and she is a Vizsla and I am going to show myself out for this most obscure low quality nerd pun thanks

It had been almost a month since he had nearly died, and his strength still hadn’t fully returned. The camp had moved twice since then, Torian had used what strength he did have to help as much as he could. Today everything was quiet, so he had found a clearing within the patrol area to exercise and get back into practice.
He went through the motions with relative ease, albeit slowly. His reflexes were not what they had been. He practiced in silence for a while, focusing on memories of sparring with Shy. Her laughter. Her determination. They had been equally matched. She had been the perfect partner. The pain of her absence was still there, but less sharp. He had a purpose again. If she was out there somewhere, he would find her. If she wasn’t, there was always skira, revenge, he would make Zakuul pay.
Sunlight glinted off red hair, causing him to pause. He turned, his breathing coming in labored puffs. “Mandalore.” He saluted, chest heaving.
Shae waved him off. She had checked on him daily during his recovery. You are still my responsibility. Today she had brought practice staves. “How are you feeling today?”
He relaxed a bit, stretching, flexing, “Still weak. Better, though.”
“Good.” She eyed him as she approached, “I thought you could use a sparring partner.” She tossed him a staff, watching as he caught it. He was almost too slow. “I’ll go easy on you.”
“No.” He took a defensive stance. “Need to sharpen myself.”
Shae shook her head, laughing softly, and mirrored his stance. “Alright, but I’m not going to listen to any complaints later.”
Torian grinned. “Fair enough.”
***********************
“Ner runi ca kebii’tra, bal gar me’suum’ika bal ka’ra.” Torian repeated the phrase and stared into the fire.
Shae nodded, “My soul is the night sky, and you are the moon and stars.” She kicked lightly at a burning log, knocking it down into the fire. She watched the sparks fly toward the night sky. “I know we’re not much for this sort of thing, souls, soulmates, but my clan has always been a little different.” She gave him a wry smile. “Thought you might understand the sentiment.”
He shifted. His muscles screamed at him, but he refused to complain, he had asked for it, after all. “It’s… fitting.” He looked at her for a long moment. She was more than just Mandalore, it was easy to forget that. “Thank you.”
She chuckled and stood. “I should probably check on my other advisors. I’ve been out of the tent long enough Komo probably thinks I’ve died and is trying to take over.” She paused next to Torian, placing a hand on his shoulder. “When you’re up for it, I’d like you to start joining us. You are the leader of Clan Cadera, after all. I’d like to hear what you think of our plans.”
He watched her disappear among the tents. Leader of Clan Cadera. He snorted. Only member of it, more like. Deciding he would take Mandalore up on her request, he sat by the fire for a while longer, studying the sky. Black, dark, empty. Except where the moon and stars were scattered across it’s expanse. Then, there was light.
So... Does Shy ever meet Shae? :p oh now...I think itd be hard for Torian during the 5 years, no? And Shae has red hair too... Take this as a prompt...(if u want 👀)
This got long. I think you inadvertently caused one of the longest fic I’ve written XD
Another blaster bolt struck him square in thechest, knocking the wind out of Torian. His beskar was holding out better thanhe had thought. He staggered before lifting the rifle to his shoulder again. Has to look good, go down fighting.
His vision blurred. Darkness crept at theedges. He could hear his brothers fighting, the sound felt farther away than itshould. The raid had gone well at first, then more skytroopers arrived. Torianknew he was being reckless, but this might be his chance. He would take as manyenemies down with him as he could though.
Another hit, the blackness slid closer.Another, pain seared his thigh where armor gave. He was losing a lot of blood,head felt fuzzy. Stumbling, he took a shot, a skytrooper fell. His legs felt likelead. He slid to the ground, leaning on his rifle for support. The dark wasclosing in, he closed his eyes and sat back.
He could see Shy. Green eyes filled with happiness. Her laughter filledhis mind. Red hair set ablaze in the evening sun. Cyare… Darkness took him.

So... Does Shy ever meet Shae? :p oh now...I think itd be hard for Torian during the 5 years, no? And Shae has red hair too... Take this as a prompt...(if u want 👀)
This got long. I think you inadvertently caused one of the longest fic I’ve written XD
Another blaster bolt struck him square in thechest, knocking the wind out of Torian. His beskar was holding out better thanhe had thought. He staggered before lifting the rifle to his shoulder again. Has to look good, go down fighting.
His vision blurred. Darkness crept at theedges. He could hear his brothers fighting, the sound felt farther away than itshould. The raid had gone well at first, then more skytroopers arrived. Torianknew he was being reckless, but this might be his chance. He would take as manyenemies down with him as he could though.
Another hit, the blackness slid closer.Another, pain seared his thigh where armor gave. He was losing a lot of blood,head felt fuzzy. Stumbling, he took a shot, a skytrooper fell. His legs felt likelead. He slid to the ground, leaning on his rifle for support. The dark wasclosing in, he closed his eyes and sat back.
He could see Shy. Green eyes filled with happiness. Her laughter filledhis mind. Red hair set ablaze in the evening sun. Cyare… Darkness took him.

On customization-eve the Outlanders were sleeping, The companions looked in to make sure they weren’t peeping. They crept to the wardrobe lightly on their tippy-toes… Theron whispered to Shae Vizla, “Quick, hide all the skimpy clothes!”
Shae is so done with my agent already.
