THIS   IS   HER   ELEMENT   ,   this   is   where   she   is   most   skilled   ;   her   hands   are   PRACTICED   in   their   art   ,   wires   and   circuitry   painting   a   picture   in   their   own   way   .      She   CREATES   just   as   an   artist   does   ,   though   her   art   may   often   KILL   .

She   kneels   at   his   feet   ,   her   hands   moving   over   the   RUINED   REMAINS   of   his   leg   .      It   still   smokes   ,   still   sparks   ,   but   she   is   UNDETERED   ;   her   fingers   pluck   at   broken   wires   ,   her   sped   of   tools   enough   to   fix   them   ━━━   though   only   BARELY   ,                       I   can   get   this   working   again   ,   but   it   should   really   be   REPLACED   .      Even   without   the   whole      “   shot   to   oblivion   ”      thing   ,   I   don’t   know   how   this   didn’t   break   down   YEARS   ago   ,                       A   pause   as   she   glances   up   at   him   ,                        Sir   .      

               APATHY OFTEN LEADS to neglect, the results of which can be seen in the condition of Vader’s mechno-limbs. When was the last time he’d been able to afford a moment alone for regular maintenance? Clearly long enough ago to merit snide commentary from a trained.

     ❝ It will suffice. ❞ The Dark Lord’s words tear away with a wince, pain && illness etched into involuntary muscle spasms — the way his yellow eyes squeeze shut as her fingers slide through the circuitry. No pain sensors to trigger here, just the distant ache of limbs long lost, && the invasive exploration of what he uses in their stead.
