Journal Entry- 'Fraidy Cat

I think one of the most endearing qualities of Scar'let is for all of her strength and intelligence, there is still a vulnerability. I have seen her stand toe to toe with a dark jedi Sith in the battle on Dantooine. She was the model of power. My pride was overwhelming...to know...that that woman, that Zabrak...that we were one.

Last night at the holiday party in Kintan I saw another side of her. For the first time, she had left the armor and battle dress at home and instead was clothed with an elegant blue dress...I heard her talking outside the cantina, nervous of all the sound coming from within. I left my seat to go out and meet her, to ensure her it was a sfae environment and with me, she could join and see the wonderous shows. She sat at my feet, much as a weary feline would...relaxed enough to take in her surroundings, but constantly scanning the room for a way out. I had to leave the show early and prepare my rancor for the battles and wanted her to stay. She was surrounded by friends but instead chose to stay by my side. She sat mediating under a garden, watching the battles from afar, never stepping too close...not from fear of the monsterous Rancor, but rather, fear of the people...I knew then that she was an answer to all of my questions. Never had I been drawn to another. Never have I been so willing to embrace the unknown. After the battles she sneaked around a corner to change out of her dress, complaining of it feeling unnatural. Using our Tai'shan bond I found her just as she was slipping on her battle shirt...I could not help but smiling to her. I was finally able to give her Koownye, a Guurcat I caught for her...The name means "Remember". I hope she calls to it when she is troubled, and I am not there. I cannot always be there to help her with her trials. Koownye, trained by her Tai'Shan, raised by her Tai'shan...will help her when I cannot.
