#hi ye picture this boil crying bc he didnt end the war for her

[jockbots]

Numa joining the resistance like mulan in the disney movie has me going feral

here me out

Ryloth has its devistating switch from republic protection to empire occupation

Nabat is remote, not remote enough to be out of its grip, but enough for Boil to defect there

Boil regains enough of himself to remember his promise to come back

it was supposed to be with waxer but he was also supposed to trust the jedi

He returns to Ryloth and for a brief happy time he lives with Numa and her family

then the empire starts to tighten its grip in Ryloth

its been 10 years and the empire are getting more demanding

Syndulla makes a request to all able bodied fighters to join the free ryloth movement

Boil tells his new family he has to go

Numa has other ideas

To her he has fought his war, hes given enough, hes 28 and he is an old man and he will not come back from this fight

they argue and Boil, who is always as gentle as Waxer had always been, who never gets angry at her only at the gravel that scrapped her knee or the pesky tookas that lay in his flower beds, tell her deadly serious

that it is his duty to go as a clone created for war and he will go bc it is what he was made for

Numa will say something fueled by sadness abt his survivers guilt at they will both part hurt and misty eyed

thats when she'll decide hes not going

when everyone is asleep she'll go into his room and take the datapad with the encrypted request

leave her tooka for him if she doesn't come back

find the armour stored away neatly but dusty

take the blacks, that the utility belt, take an arm of armour from pauldron to gauntlet. the one with his name so that he will be there with her without being in harms way

and catch the next cart to the capital before the night is up
