Cyare Verd *Beloved Warrior*

Chapter Two

We finally reached the door, the Captain pressed the keypad, and nodded for me to head inside. He followed closely behind me.

This must have been one of their training rooms as there were desks and chairs all over the place. Among these chairs and tables were 7 men in similar blue and white plastoid armor to Captain Rex.

Their buy'ce (helmets) were scattered around the room. I noted subtle differences in each of the men, who had not seemed to notice we entered the room due to being in deep conversation.

Captain Rex cleared his throat, causing one of the two ARC troopers to turn and face us. Realization waved across his face as he snapped to attention, causing the other ARC trooper to do the same, with the rest following suit.

"At ease boys" I laughed. "Lucky for you I have no rank here". The room seemed to immediately relax.

The first ARC trooper (one with the typical buzz cut, however he also had facial hair) came over grabbing my hand and kissing the back of it.

"I'm ARC Trooper Fives, at your service" the rest of his comrads snickered. The second ARC trooper, one who appeared to be much more mellow than Fives, playfully shoved his vod (brother) out of the way.

"Sorry about that. I'm ARC Trooper Echo. Fives and I are twins from the same batch." He said, shaking my hand while glaring daggers at his brother.

"It's alright" I laughed.

I could sense Captain Rex become tense behind me. I turned to look back at him, noticing he had taken his buy'ce (helmet) off as well. He looked like his vod (brothers) but with one feature that without a doubt had my attention. Rex was blonde. I have never seen a blonde clone as an adult. Nor was I ever attracted to a clone but I found myself staring for a moment. He awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck likely picking up on the fact I was taken back by his hair color. I felt so embarrassed suddenly which was not common. Osik.....stop staring you di'kut (idiot).

Rex spoke "That's Jesse, Kix our medic, Tup, Dogma, and Hardcase." and at that, each of them waved as their name was called.

"It's really an honor to meet you all. I've heard some of the stories of your missions. I look forward to getting to know you all better." I smiled at them.

They were a proud bunch and vode (brothers), to say the least.

"You should join us in the mess hall for lunch," Echo said, pulling me from my thoughts.

"How about dinner? I need to go unpack and make a call." I replied.

"Orrrrrrrrr-" Fives began before being cut off.

"No Fives we aren't taking her to 79's her first night here...not only that it's during the week you di'kut (idiot) and I'm not carrying your drunk sheb (ass) home." Scolded Jesse.

I giggled "79's must be a bar?"

"Only the best bar in all of Coruscant!" Harcase beamed.

"I'll make you boys a deal, dinner tonight and at the end of the week we hit 79's" I smiled at them. "Just make sure you boys can keep up" I finished winking.

Five's jaw might actually hit the floor tehehe. I think we will get along just fine, me and the boys.

——————

Back in my quarters, I pulled up my com link on my watch and commend Ordo, hoping he was with Mereel.

Come on please pick up....

"Rav'ika (little Raven, Like little sister)!!!" I heard from the other end of the link.

I sighed with relief "For a moment I was beginning to think you weren't going to pick up."

"Mereel....MEREEL" I hear Ordo yelling on the other end. "That di"kut (idiot). Sorry he's out tinkering with Maker knows what at this point."

I laughed "Typical Mereel. I just landed in Coruscant and have met my squad."

"Oh, good. Kal'buir (papa Kal) has been bugging me since you left to find out when you would arrive." He responded.

There was a loud noise and another voice that came over the link. "What do you want Ord'ika (little Ordo, like little brother)?" Followed by a pause..."Rav'ika?! Is that you?" Mereel says.

"Su cuy'gar (Hello) Mer'ika" I say smiling.

"I am assuming that means you landed safely?" Mereel asked.

Ordo chimed in "If you had come when I called you would have heard her say she did and she met her squad."

There was a moment of silence which I could assume was my vode (brothers) giving one another a death stare.

I rolled my eyes...I love may vode (brothers) but sometimes they drive me crazy.

I broke the silence, "I should probably get going, I just wanted to let you know I was here. I've still got to unpack and go catch up with the rest of the boys for dinner."

"No worries Rav'ika we will let Kal'Buir know you are safe." Replied Ordo.

I sighed "Keep him safe too will you? I understand why, what he is doing is important but gar shuk meh kyrayc (he is no use dead)."

Mereel scoffed "You're telling me...Ret'urcye mhi vod'ika (Goodbye little sister)"

"Ret'urcye mhi Rav'ika" said Ordo.

I replied "Ret'urcye mhi vode (goodbye brothers)".

With that I turned off the link and began to unpack my things. I began with my cloths, putting them into the dressed and closet before pulling my case out from under the bed to inventory it.

Inside lay my beskar armor...black plates that are worn in some areas where I had been hit likely sparing with my vode (brothers) or during some of my fights, showing the natural sheen of silver underneath the paint. I had hand painted my armor quite sometime ago and initially my vode (brothers) made fun of me for choosing black (considering the GAR had chosen white). I ended up accenting it with blue and purple not to please my vode (brothers) but more for myself. My name is Raven after all...might as well make it look like a raven...

I carefully removed the armor looking it all over carefully before placing it back inside the case. Ending with my buy'ce (helmet), I picked it up and stared into he visor for a moment....

Kal'Buir is be proud of me for how far I've come. Making a name for myself to the point where the Jedi counsel has asked me to work alongside the 501st. However, I can't help but feel I should be helping them find a cure for the accelerated again those aruetiise (outsiders) created in my vode (brothers) and the other clones. All clones deserve a life as long as the rest of us. Ironic coming from a Mandalorian whose focus is on the battle today not tomorrow. Yet we still value life, even cloned life...

I place my helmet back into the case, closing and locking it. I then grab a change of cloths (black bantha leather jacket Kal'Buir gave to me a long time ago, black pants, a blue v-neck shirt, and my boots), before heading out to the mess hall.

Masterlist

[aresielle]

While reading some Star wars prequel trilogy fanfictions I suddenly realise something. Prequel's fans use mando'a in the same way anime's fans use Japanese.

It's fascinating. How many of theses fans where anime's fans before? How many correspondance between the 2 vocabulary can we find?

Let's try with some of the most common terms used.

Mando'a (English) => Japanese used by anime's fans (not always in the original or correct meaning in Japanese but one I have often see the past 20 years.)

ba'buir (grandfather, grandmother)=> Baba (old woman), Jiji (old man), ojii-san (grand father), obaa-san (grand mother). In the two cases the terms are also used to design any old people.

ba'vodu (uncle, aunt)=> oji-san (uncle), oba-san (aunt).

beskad/kad (slightly curved, pointed saber of Mandalorian iron/saber, sword) => Katana

buir (parent/father / mother)=> otou-san (father), okaa-san (mother)

cabur (guardian, protector)=> depending of the situation it could be the same think than ba'vodu or buir

copikla (charming, cute (babies and animals - never women unless you want your head ripped off)) => Kawaii or moe except it's totally ok tu used this word for woman.

cyare (beloved, loved, popular) => i know there is one but I can remember it right now. Maybe the habit of people to use the honorific sama for the man or hime for the woman to show the characters are love interest?

di'kut (idiot, useless individual, waste of space) => baka

Gedet'ye (Please)=> Onegaishimasu, onegai

Gev (Stop it!)=>yameru or yamete kudasai

Ka'ra (stars - ancient Mandalorian myth - ruling council of fallen kings) => Kami-sama

kih'vod (little brother/sister ?) =>imouto and otouto

mandokarla (having the "right stuff", showing guts and spirit, the state of being the epitome of Mando virtue) => kakkoii (“good-looking”, “handsome”, “cool in a manly way”, they totally used the 2 terms in the sames way)

mesh'la (beautiful) => bishounen and bishoujo

Me'ven? (Huh? What? ) => nani?

Ne'johaa! (Shut up!) =>urusai ("Noisy", "Loud", "Annoying" or "Fussy". In some context heavily implied they need to just shut up)

Ni ceta (sorry (lit: I kneel) grovelling apology - rare) => sumimasen or gomenasai and other variations

ori'jate/jate (exelent/good) => sugoi

ori'vod (big brother, older brother, special friend) => onii-san, ani-ki, sempai, onee-chan and all the others variations.

osik (dung, shit)=> kuso !

Oya! (Many meanings: literally "Let's hunt!" and also "Stay alive!", but also Hoorah!, "Go you!", "Cheers!" Always positive and triumphant.)=> Yatta!

Re'turcye mhi (Goodbye - lit. "Maybe we'll meet again")=>sayounara

Su cuy'gar (Hello - lit. "You're still alive.") => konichiwa, ohaoyou, kombanwa

verd'ika (private (rank of a soldier)) => kouhai (it's the younger student or less experience worker in a company in the relation sempai/kouhai. The meaning are different but I think it's often used in the same way. With ori'vod used in the place of sempai. )

vod (comrade, "mate", brother, sister) => nakama (especially in the one piece fandom. They probably could make a contest with the star wars fandom to see who will use vod or nakama the most often.)

Vor'e! (Thanks!) => arrigato

I'm pretty sure there is a lot of other exemples. I hope my rambling was not too incomprehensible. My English is not always very good. And my japanese is almost inexistant. But, bloody hell, this think hit me yesterday evening like a train and I need to vent it somewhere to get it out of my head.
