Private Junk in the Trunk

[Yula Perl]

Coruscant's main spaceport was big. Big enough to easily get lost in if you weren't familiar with the layout, which almost seemed counter-intuitive at times.

Or maybe it only seemed that way to Yula because she'd been scrolling through tictac videos on her holophone while searching for an exit. She'd actually been here plenty of times before, but Dagon had always directed them straight through the temple.

But Dagon wasn't here anymore, which was the sour thought that lead to her treating herself to the meiloorun n' banana smoothie in her other hand.

"Heh…hehehe." The Zeltron giggled to herself from around the straw while viewing a looped video of a porg attacking its owner.

Attention to her surroundings clearly wasn't a priority.

Kuzo

 

[Kuzo]

In contrast, Kuzo had NOT been to Coruscant before.

And he was not having a very good time of it so far.

He hadn't so far been paying much attention to where a ship he was sneaking onto was going. Up until now, it had gone well for him- sort of. He had more credit chits than he'd started out with, anyway. And only one space port had left him feeling like there were just too many feet to be allowed, so that was alright.

But CORUSCANT.

In a vague, half baked I never paid attention when my elders were talking, sort of way, Kuzo had known about Coruscant. But he hadn't known about Coruscant.

From the first step he'd been spending the entire time dodging other sentient's steps as if his life depended on it. Mostly because it did. Scampering, scuttling, leaping, scrambling, cowering, until his heart was beating in his throat and he thought his chest would burst. By the time he got into one of the side corridors, the little Nezumi was in a near panic, just trying to keep out from underfoot.

Barely avoiding the massive stomps of a creature Kuzo couldn't even recognize, he scampered sideways, looking up and behind himself to make sure he avoided the OTHER foot when BAM

There was only so much he could look out for at one time and he collided head first into the back of a shoe, right before the foot was about to rise. Without thinking, Kuzo closed his eyes and clung to the back of the foot as it started its upward arc, oblivious to the owner's giggles and praying he'd make it out of here alive.
