It was grim at the camp even though some families were reunited as the surviving men arrived. There were lots of injuries to heal and lots of frightened people to counsel. Everyone was on edge and the Jedi would be able to feel something unsettling from deeper within the mountain path. Hans had only arrived for a moment before the Jedi from earlier rushed up to him. It was the woman that stood in battle next to the Deucalian when he arrived. While she originally looked hopeful upon spotting him, her face fell slightly.
“Skade…” She said simply, “She is with the Force, then?” Tanna sighed, pausing for a moment before she spoke again, “She would have wanted to go fighting.”
Death was always on the table when they had signed up for this mission. This line of work was a very different than the other Jedi specialties that saw them far from harm. It was accepted quickly and people moved on. Tanna introduced Hans to the highest ranking surviving soldiers, and he would have the chance to take charge of the situation from there on.
Every now and then people approached him asking if he could bring their family members back from the dead. Some of the children asked him about his saber and a woman brought him a bowl of stew. People were getting comfortable as the hours passed. Still there was no sign of Skade.
