I almost died! And I used up almost all of my Force points! Will I still be able to see my status window if I run out of Force points?
</span>
"Princess?" Jax is looking at her when she lifts her head. "Are you alright?"
(She just noticed Jax's nametag.)
<span class="mu-i">
How does he still have so many Force points?!
</span>
She flinches as the door slides open behind them. Toban's head peeks out from behind the doorframe. When he sees the wrecked blasters on the floor he stands up and clutches the blaster pistol in one hand as he feels his way forward, eyes locked on the pirates. "Princess! Did you..."
<span class="mu-i">
That's right! I used my Force abilities to knock their blasters out of their hands without hurting them! I'm practically a Jedi Master! This should make you change your opinion about-
</span>
"...did you get in Mister Ronan's way?"
<span class="mu-i">
What.
</span>
"Thank you for saving us, Mister Ronan! I was so relieved when the captain told us you were aboard!" When Jax lowers his lightsaber and deactivates the blade, Toban steps into the room, holstering his own blaster as he stands up from his crouching scuttle. "Knowing you were here to help really calmed the passengers!"
<span class="mu-i">
He's got his back to the pirates! He's completely at ease now that he sees Jax!

"Cady and I both fought our hardest. Your captain was nice enough to agree to letting me secretly come aboard at your last port. I got a tip that someone might try to board this ship." Jax grins at Mako. "Looks like I caught more than I was expecting."
"We were double-crossed!" Mako closes his mouth and sulks. "Taken down by a pair of kids..."
"By the way, how close are we to Amantes?" A look from Jax freezes the three captive pirates and Cady realizes they've slowly crept halfway toward the open blast doors.
"We should be landing soon." Toban is as oblivious as before. "Your father has mobilized an escort. They're already in sensor range."
"Your father?" Cady blushes at blurting out the question.
"I guess you're not from this system." Jax flashes an embarrassed grin at Cady. "My father is the head of planetary security, so everyone around here knows me."
<span class="mu-i">
Is he seriously also famous? I guess I shouldn't be surprised. After all, the noble son of the knight who serves the king is a classic background for a "warrior hero" like Jax!
</span>
Toban is nodding happily. "Mister Ronan and his father are both very popular with the people of Amantes!"
The door behind them slides open again and more men wearing the same familiar uniform as Toban hesitantly enter behind, their blasters drawn. As soon as they see Jax, their attention shifts from the pirates and their blasters droop as they excitedly crowd around him.
"Mister Ronan! I didn't think you were really aboard!"
"Mister Ronan! What are you doing after we land?"
<span class="mu-i">
Or maybe they're more like local celebrities?
</span>
One of the other guards notices Cady. "Mister Ronan, are you and this girl a couple?"
<span class="mu-i">
We are not!
