raze_flynDisclaimer: Knights of the Old Republic belongs to Lucas Film I’m just borrowing the characters for my own and possibly the enjoyment of other fans.
Just a short dialogue less ficlet focused on Canderous after the first game.
Lonely Duty
He retreated to his inner sanctum having turned down the latest offer of companionship from well meaning subordinates who felt he took things too far in forsaking all pleasure in the pursuit of his duty to rebuilt the mandalorian clans. He wondered what they would say if they knew the real reason he refused their advances.
Everything he was doing was for Revan no matter that unlike Bastilla he would never be anything more than a soldier for the greatest man he had ever known. He still wished he could have gone with Revan into the dark and unknown parts of the galaxy to fight whatever enemy he went to confront.
However, he had accepted that his duty lay elsewhere and so he was rebuilding the Mandalorians even as others rebuilt the Jedi and the Republic. Still sometimes alone in his private quarters he would allow himself to dream of choosing a successor and taking off into the unknown to find Revan. He knew he’d never act on that fantasy but it was one of many fantasies that made his lonely duty bearable.
The end.
