In the serene atmosphere of the Jedi Temple, members of the 501st Legion lounged around, their laughter echoing through the halls. Ahsoka Tano, ever observant, leaned against a wall, watching the squad banter with a fond smile. Captain Rex, Jesse, Hardcase, and Fives were in the midst of sharing stories when a particularly loud and enthusiastic Padawan entered the scene.

“Hey, everyone! Did you miss me?” Telyra exclaimed, flipping her lekku dramatically. Her eyes sparkled as she searched for attention, especially from the handsome officers.

“Not really,” Hardcase quipped, raising an eyebrow as he resumed his conversation with Rex.

Ignoring the playful jab, Telyra moved closer to Jesse, her gaze intense. “You know, I just feel so lucky to be surrounded by such amazing men! It’s like a dream come true!” She laughed a bit too loudly, trying to draw everyone’s focus.

“Uh, yeah, thanks?” Jesse replied, trying to remain polite. He glanced at Rex, who rolled his eyes but couldn’t hide a smirk.

Telyra continued, “I mean, with all these Jedi Knights around, I’ve learned so much about bravery and strength. They just… adore me!” She tossed her hair again, eliciting a collective groan from the group.

Across the room, members of the 212th Battalion, including Cody and Waxer, overheard the commotion and joined in the fun. “What’s with all the noise?” Cody asked, a bemused smile on his face.

Telyra seized the opportunity, “Oh, just sharing my charm with the finest soldiers in the galaxy!” she declared, striking a pose.

As Jesse tossed a lighthearted joke, everyone chuckled. But Telyra, in an exaggerated manner, burst out laughing the hardest. “I’m so sorry! I just can’t help it! Male ones. I’m used to hanging out with the Jedi Knights! They always find me hilarious!” she announced, beaming as if she had just revealed a great secret.

“Yeah, right,” Rex muttered under his breath, trying to suppress his laughter.

“Honestly, it’s tough being this desirable,” Telyra continued, puffing out her chest and glancing around.
