As they walked across to the main deck, Lazuli sighed, her mind lost in thought. "Borias, are you sure you still want to marry Theron?"
Borias stopped at the edge of the walkway. His blue eyes boring into her ruby ones thoughtfully.
He squeezed her hand. "I am surprised that you would ask that, you know that I do."
Her blue cheeks showed sadness. She still held resentment and was envious of their love for each other. She knew that Theron would always love Borias more than her.
"It's just...I thought that we would just continue as we are. I thought that I had lost Theron, the Jedi forced me away, then there was the war and my being captured.
"Now this..." She stroked her belly. Are you sure you want that baggage?"
Borias looked at her. "Are you?" He reached for her, placing his hand on her belly. "Indeed. I sense two of them and they are mine, are they not?"
Lazuli nodded. " I sense that too." She placed a hand on his arm. "Please don't tell Theron. He couldn't bear it."
"I will not, but he should be aware. You know that we keep no secrets among us. "
"Please Borias. At least not now. Not yet."
"Of course not. We shall have to deal with his mother first, then we shall discuss our future." He grabbed her hand and kissed it, holding it to his face.
"Trust me. I shall take care of everything."
She looked up at him, her eyes tearing. "I know, and I also know how much you love Theron. he's loved you from the first day he saw you..."
She let out a heavy sigh. " I'm so afraid, and I was unsure of how this would work, but I can't help feeling that maybe this was meant to be after all, even though it makes me sad that Theron loves you more than me."
Borias nodded, his bronze face showed sadness.
"When I met him, I was unhappy, driven, thirsting for conquest. I was unfaithful, unfocused, and did not care who I was with.
He changed all of that. You HAVE to understand. He is my whole life now." a warm smile crossed his lips.
She nodded. "I know, and I'm grateful that you decided to allow me to be with him too. You left Vette for him. I know you didn't love her, but she was really hurt. You know she really loved you."
Borias chuckled. "Though she does not respect me as she once did, but she has good reason, considering what I have done." Borias said.
"Now that she's with Khomo, do you think shell stay with the Mandalorians?"
Borias laughed. "When she is not playing Sebaac or drinking in the cantina, yes."
"I think Khomo makes her happy."
"I believe he does, just as Theron makes me happy." Borias stroked her face with both hands, looking into her eyes. "But I want you to be happy too. Are you having doubts about our relationship?"
the triad is in its infancy
and Lazuli confides in Lord Borias to discuss their relationship.
