Clearing the air
Ashoka
Cal began to put the rest of his gear back on; as Rex continued to give him a stern look. I felt bad for Cal and anyone who was Rex's enemy. His whole aura right now was cross me and you'll die quicker than you can blink. I had the feeling that something was going on; but couldn't figure out what it was. After a while I couldn't stand the silence and decided to ask Rex how his post battle check up went, "soo.. Rex how did the check up go?"
He pauses and then puts on a blank face and says "good not a scratch"
Then there is another awkward moment between the two of us before rex clears his throat, "ashoka what really went on while I was gone?"
My eyes widen and give a shocked gasp; was he seriously suggesting that I lied I thought while placing my hand on my waist. In a harsher tone than I wished I said, "Rex! I asked him if he wanted help putting on his armor, and his said no since he didn't want the shame of being sent back to Camino. So he allowed me to heal his shoulder. And he thanked me out of excitement with a hug."
My tone seemed to have hurt him a little, since he grimiest a little. He stands up and places a hand on my shoulder and sighs then says "it is my job to protect you at all time in battle from the enemy and..."
I was starting to get Irritated, what was I some damsel in distress! I was on one of the youngest younglings to become a padawan! I understand that I will need help in battle and appreciate the clone and what they do. But where else would I need help when there is an army of soldiers around me. "And What Rex!" I said bitterly.
He shifts his weight from foot to foot and shifts his gaze away from me and looks at the ceiling for a second and then looks at his shoes before he opens his mouth to speak. "We may be clones ashoka but we are men first."
"What does that have anything to do with things? I know you guys are more than just clones." I had no idea what was going through his head. I knew clones were men how does that portray to me?
He is still avoiding eye contact, when he says "clones are men and they can still have the same desires and.... Lust that any other guy would have. It's just our amount of female interaction is extremely limited. So... some brothers forget the regulations when a female is around"
Ohhh so that's what he meant, that makes more sense on why he was so mad about cal hugging me, and why he was standoffish when I brought up scar. I finally get eye contact with Rex again and take a deep breath, "rex I'm sorry, I shouldn't have snapped at you. I'm still trying to wrap my head around everything here. Though I respect you guys I really don't know that much about you guys to understand all of you. I know I told you about the troubles that I could face out of the order. But I guess I don't understand the struggles in the order."
"It's alright ashoka you still have time to figure us out."
We were so attuned to our conversation that when we head a loud "that's amazing!" It startled us. As we look over we see the medic continuing with a " This morning your shoulder was completely destroyed but know it's entirely healed. Even with clone accelerated healing this shouldn't be possible." The medic said as we walked over to the two.
Alrighty everyone please comment it is kinda degrading to know people are reading but not letting the skeptical author know hows she's doing. Let me know what you think and likes and dislikes and what you want more of. Thanks for reading!!
