That dose of Darth Caedus was certainly something Mara could have done without. Of course, since she'd showed up here she knew Caedus was always inside Jacen, lurking somewhere under the surface. The kind of darkness he had would always be there in some form or another. So truthfully, the events of the other night had been something she'd always known could be a possibility. But that didn't mean she was prepared to feel that presence in the Force. That didn't mean she was even mentally capable of holding herself back. And oh, she had wanted to deliver a death blow to Caedus. The only reason she hadn't tried to was because Luke had managed to talk her out of it. And it was difficult to let go of that, despite seeing that Jacen seemed to be getting a grip on himself again. Mara wasn't going to even try to talk to Jacen just yet, not until she was calm and not fighting with herself about killing her nephew.

That was a promise she would always keep to Jacen, that she would kill him if he Fell again and couldn't be saved. But as the lowered inhibitions seemed to prove to her, she seemed quick to bypass the waiting to determine if Jacen could be saved. Then again when Caedus sat there and pressed her buttons, when she felt that same presence she'd felt on Kavan, she was quick to attack. Mara refused to let Caedus hurt anyone else. She was just glad her and Luke had arrived when they did so Tenel Ka was not hurt more than she could have been.

So in trying to unwind herself from the sudden presence of her murderer, Mara was trying to keep the darker thoughts at bay. She had been meditating in the bedroom, trying to find her inner calm. Mara had let herself linger in the meditation a bit longer than she usually did simply to try and get ahold of that inner calm and try to keep her thoughts at bay. Finally, she came out of it and took a deep breath, running a hand through her long red hair. After some moments, she stood up and headed to the living room deciding to see what was on television. Perhaps she would find an interesting movie or some program on the Discovery channel or History channel. She didn't care for what passed for entertainment shows, she was more into the documentaries that taught her something about this planet or this universe. Planting herself on the couch, she settled into it, drawing a leg underneath her as she grabbed the remote and started to flip through the channels, just wanting something to take her mind off of subjects she didn't want to think about.
