I've been carrying this weight for so long, it's time I lay it down.
takes a deep breath Elijah, I... I love you. I've loved you for as long as I can remember.
m-me too I’ve had a crush on you since we met
blushes, her voice filled with vulnerability Really? You... you feel the same way?
leans in, her eyes locked with Elijah's Can I kiss you?
deepens the kiss, wrapping her arms around Elijah's neck, surrendering to the moment
I want to be with you forever
whispers softly And I want to be with you, Elijah, for all eternity.
teary-eyed, smiles brightly Yes, Elijah. Yes, I will marry you.
grins, pulling Ashoka into a tight embrace Then let's make our union official, my love.
takes out a small box from her pocket I have something for you, Elijah. It's a token of my love and commitment to you.
opens the box to reveal a beautiful silver ring, adorned with intricate engravings This ring belonged to my mother. She wore it on her wedding day.
takes Elijah's hand, slides the ring onto his finger I want you to wear this symbol of our love, just as I wear the scars of our adventures.
stands up, extending her hand to Elijah Home, indeed. Let's go create new memories together, my love. leads Elijah out of the secluded grove
laughs softly, taking Ashoka's hand Lead the way, my queen. Our journey begins now.
pauses, her gaze distant There's something I need to tell you, Elijah. Something I've kept hidden for so long...
takes a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly I... I used to be a Jedi Padawan. I was trained by the Jedi Order, but...
Ashoka looks down, her voice filled with regret But I lost my way. The Order was destroyed, and... I felt lost and alone.
I understand. And you're not alone anymore. We're together now.
looks up at Elijah, tears welling in her eyes Thank you, Elijah. Your love and acceptance mean more to me than you'll ever know.
do you still follow the Jedi ways?
pauses, contemplating No, Elijah. After everything that happened, I realized that the Jedi ways no longer align with my beliefs.
hm… maybe your just going through an identity crisis
nods thoughtfully You might be right, Elijah. Perhaps I am still searching for my place in the universe. But for now, being with you feels right.
hey can I ask you something?
Of course, Elijah. You can ask me anything.
