"I vote we get a droid," Jilka said, dicing amber root. "Why is Mandalore the only place where everyone does everything by hand?" "The dignity of labor." Besany tasted the bubbling vat of stew to check if it needed more salt. "Hard work's good for the soul. Very grounding." "My soul's fine," Jilka said stiffly. The angrier she got, the faster she diced. "My body is another matter." Jilka looked at her hands, red and sore from kitchen chores, and Ny could almost read her thoughts: How did this ever happen to me? Like Besany, Jilka had worked for the Treasury as an investigator. But unlike her, she hadn't followed a clone husband to Kyrimorut. She was an innocent bystander, set up by a Gurlanin spy to draw attention away from Besany while she leaked government information to Skirata, arrested by the secret police-and sprung from prison by Ordo and Vau. Jilka's life had been wrecked before she even knew why. She hadn't actually punched out Besany yet, but the atmosphere between them was pure ice. It was only a matter of time.

#star wars #jilka zan zentis #besany wennen #imperial commando #republic commando book series #republic commando critically #i for one would really feel better if jilka actually ht besanny or anyone #instead of the ' oh a clone boyfriend for me' kinda way of peace poor solution #if that was meant as #stockholm syndrome then it was presented in poor way as we barely see women doing anything outside the kitchen #i would especially be glad if jilka hit besanny when she talk bullshit like this oh the dignity of labor when #i count on one hand all the men book mentioned to actually do anything in kitchen #but also besany is such a hypocrite?#which is not how i'm usually think about her but she didn't mind much when skirata gang (vau to be precisely) killed a woman leaking info #to terrorists in TZ (when she may did so due to fallean's hormones / influence)#and how ordo was oh no besany is so moral persona and so on #but then she stole for like two years needed information to skirata and ordo/nulls #and yeah how republic use clone troopers was morally wrong but how this actually excuse her action?#i'm not even judging her per se #just how she was presented as this oh so morally person but with passing time she doesn't seem to worry about the stolen money #all the murdering and shady stuff #like jusik somehow her moral spin was erased to fit into the clan heh #and really her pompoust talking about dignity of labor and hard work sounds to me she is not trying to #convince Jilka but herself?#man i'm so so sad the conflict between jilka (victim of besany and skirata/mereel's stealing secret data)#and besany (a person once with high sense of morality that somehow get lost along the way)#was never properly developted beyong a few mention here and there #also besany jilka and laseema were shown to us only on coruscant a whole city-planet #and i'm here to believe that all are okay to live in isolated place far far away from any normality they knew? stuck deep in the forest #yeah because urban people forced to live in the wilderness switch just like that heh
