#feat. her two kids and references to her wife her sith-defector-turned-self-proclaimed-uncle and the former wrath

Attachments are forbidden. Right?

“Well, Satele and I were never that close,” Theron explained, slouching back in the plush seat. “You know how it is, Master Azukni. Jedi and families and all of that.”

The zabrak Jedi nodded slowly, taking in his words. “Well, we do generally have rules and guidelines regarding attachments - it’s to help us focus on a larger picture. But as for family-“

“Mom!” A child burst through the door before Azukni could finish her sentence, another child following behind. “Elanii pulled my lekku again!”

Azukni nearly jumped from her seat, torn between rushing over to her togruta daughter and keeping this appointment that she had set up with Theron. Yet before the Jedi could respond, the other child spoke.

Theron’s eyes were trained on her face with an expression she couldn’t read. “Sorry Theron, I’ll have to make sure that we aren’t interrupted again in the future.” Master Azukni made her way back to her seat, more embarrassed by the interruption than anything else. Once she smoothed out her robes, she looked back towards Theron with an apologetic smile. “What were we talking about again?”

“I, uh, think we were talking about Jedi attachments, or-“

“Families! Right!” she filled in immediately. “Well, like I was saying, we do try to stay away from attachments, but as far as Jedi and families go...”
