~Names have been changed to protect the guilty.
[Noleyci was raised in an Imperial Sponsored Orphanage when he was a child. The Jam is a weekly party at the River Bend cantina. B. is a semi-disgraced Jedi and Ji. is his wife.]
After last week's Jam I wasn't sure there was much left to just amuse me socially. So much of my life is filled with obligations, both self-imposed and as a duty to those I've recruited, that I thought there wasn't much left between my family and my enemy. But I discovered last night that there is a middle ground.
Devia and I took the time to show B. & Ji. her house near the River Bend. Ji. is working as a decorator and Devia wanted to show of her award winning sanctuary in Rielig. Ji. seemed to be quite impressed and it was great fun to play the doting husband role with B. while the girls did their thing. It was almost normal. She made a proposal to Devia about partnering up to decorate. I could feel the pleasure Devia had in the idea and I decided to hire the two of them to push it along. It would be truly wonderful if Devia found more friends... We went to the Gallery and I had a great time showing off my collection. Ji.'s lekku were going a mile a minute as she looked around. B. spent a great deal of time showing that his credits were going to be spent quite quickly... though the smile in his eyes showed the lie to his teasing.
It's strange to find myself enjoying the company of others who aren't my family. Devia and I may have found another couple we can spend time with as if there isn't a war on... though the reminder may come back. In the orphanage I didn't have time to make friends... or rather my friends were fooled by the masks I was already learning to wear. I've made a mistake of finding myself with only two types of people in my life. Family, who I am the shield and sabre for... or enemies. There is a third option. B. & Ji. can take care of themselves... they don't need me to take responsibility for thier safety... and if I choose to take on that obligation later then maybe that's the flow of the Force. But for now I can just have friends.
