I Can't Lose You Too

Mar sighed in frustration. "Serenity, as your new master it's my job to make sure you are protected. I can't teach you anything if you're dead. You need to train more before facing a Sith, otherwise it could lead to your death... or worse... they could capture you and try to turn you to The Dark Side..."

He looked to Quin next, who was leaning against the bulkhead patiently.

"Quint... you and Serenity both are my students now... You understand why I'm not eager to set you two upon trained Sith, correct?"

There was a rising worry in Mar's heart. His mind turned to those moments when he had betrayed Tal to The Empire... the pain he felt as he led her to Darth Vader. That was the cruelty of the Sith. To betray the ones you love to a fate worse than death... He wouldn't suffer another failure like that. He wouldn't let these two fall. His brow furrowed, mind made up.

"You two will provide support, because you both do have skills that are indispensable, and I admit that Rowan and I cannot do this alone... but should the Sith make its presence known... you will let me handle it... Understood?"
