Behind Enemy Lines (Day Two)

[Jaden_Starchaser]

Jaden watched as this impromptu tribunal took form. He could feel the perverse dark joy that Frija was emitting. She was enjoying every second that the family spent in fear. He had to speak. "With all due respect ma'am perhaps this isn't the time. Yes, we have just won the battle and struck a huge blow to the morale of the Jedi, but we have men wounded and twice as many missing or dead. We should tend to our wounded brethren and bury our honored dead. Besides, you said that this," he gestured to the head of Duke Saar that Frija was carrying around like some kind of demented trophy, "sends a strong message. The enemy knows now that we are a capable force. That even their mightiest heroes can be killed. However if we stay here any longer we give them the chance to launch a counteroffensive on our last known position."
