He noticed it.
How could Gideon not?
The last few days, before she had disappeared had been ... trying ones. Not because they were difficult, but exactly the opposite. More and more pleasant, comfortable, at ease, the soft laughter that made way for realization. But now she wasn't laughing and neither was he. Somehow this was worse than that, yet, Gideon couldn't do much about it.
Not now anyway.
Not when his focus had to be on the here and now.
There was a gang operating out of the port of the station. 'Swoop' gang, except they didn't have swoops and were mostly harassing people around the docks. The show of a lightsaber had been enough for them to back off... for the most part. "Now," He leaned against the wall opposite of the dock entrance, gesturing for Liya to join him, so they could discuss it.
Once she was next to him his voice quieted down. "Now, there's this gang operating here- Duke controls them. Low-life, human, nasty piece of work. They say anything, you ignore them. Don't even look at them. One line, don't get separated from me, okay?" Gideon didn't want this to get violent. Didn't want to pull out his 'saber and actually move against them. Overt moves like that always had a way to cause more problems than there were before, but Liya... Liya could make this complicated. Weren't many pretty women 'round these parts.
Complicated for sure.
"Alright, let's go."
