It didn't take long. As she finished speaking, she could feel the shift in the air. Boots scraped against the floor, and Quinn's eyes flickered towards their source. It was then she saw past the armor and the guns to the woman who was surrounded, chained — Mauve. Quinn felt her chest tighten, the guilt clawing at her throat as she held her breath.
Every bit of anger began to surface as the room's temperature dropped suddenly. The Force shifted, ebbing and flowing to the Sith Lord as she remembered the sounds of that day: the gunshots, the shouting, and the shuttle whisking away the Zeltron. She had never stopped thinking about it, nor did she stop trying to fix it.
As the room grew colder, the air thickened. A sick feeling of dread loomed in the room as the woman drew upon the Force, gathering power as she stewed in her seat. If she wanted, she could snap every neck that got in her way to the chained woman.
But Quinn remained seated, her eyes locked onto Mauve. It wasn't until the self-entitled trooper decided to speak. He felt himself worth her attention. His words muffled against her ear as he
commanded her and the Underlord to pick.
"How cute..." She spoke down to him, her eyes flickering over to the man, then to his gun.
"You assume that toy will protect you? End the life of either the Prince or me?" She stood, laughing at the man and his entitlement.
"I will choose then,"
The weight of the Force began to bear down on the room, suffocating it with dread and despair. Every emotion that the woman felt bled into the Force, affecting those around her.
"You. Show me how much faith you have in that armor and weapon against a Sith."
