Sia's eyes widened slightly, tension building in her temples as he went on. "Wow. That's... that's a lot." On many regards. Political, personal, how did he get up in the morning? How’d he know what to do next.
Who was calling the shots?
Oh. Him, she realized, her temples aching in sympathy. He was the one in charged. This did nothing but reinforce her perception that jedi folk were a whole ‘nothter level about civilians like her— Even as an old war vet. He had the galaxy on his shoulders. She didn’t envy him one bit.
She fell silent, her discomfort apparent. He had said more to her in that moment than she had said herself in a month. She already felt tired— like maybe her ship was the best place for her after all. But she wasn’t ready to go back, the sun warm on her pallid skin. She had asked for an update. Well, she got one.
After an uncomfortable moment, one question popped to mind. She grimaced, then let her curiousity get the better of her as she asked. “...What happened to the kid? The recruit you wanted.” Bad news, she was sure.
