"I bet," Mara gave him a little smile. She was just getting to know Natasha but she could easily see that she wouldn't be someone she'd want to tangle with in a fight. "she turned out okay, didn't she? Maybe I will too." At least she hoped so.
She considered Phil's words for a moment before she spoke. "Maybe that's the reason I'm here. It's a chance to head in a different direction. When I first came here, I thought that Arva and the Emperor were sending me here to do something but that didn't last very long. I couldn't sense him...so I knew that it was something different." Mara looked out over the water. "I was really glad when you told me that nobody expected me to start having sex as soon as I got here even though that's the first thing people told me. Sex Island." she rolled her eyes. "I'm not ready for that yet. I want to be sure that when I do, it's with the right person, I'm not expecting to fall in love but at least it should be someone that I care about, not just some random guy." There were certainly plenty of random guys who would be willing but Mara wasn't going to let that happen.
She glanced over at Phil when he said he hoped something worked out between her and Luke. "Yeah, well he has to come back first," she said. "and he'd have to be willing to accept the bad parts. I guess it all depends on when he comes from."
