Character
It was ten minutes before he stood up. He looked towards the direction Choli had left in and took a step in that direction.
Hooo?
“R4 asks if that is really a good idea?” Vee translated in his clipped tone. A droid could convey quite a lot of information in binary and one needed a good ear for it. Trextan had never even put his mind to the idea of learning it.
“Does he?” Trextan asked, turning towards the pebble drone. R4 didn't shake his head or even make a sound. He just looked straight back at him. “No. Right.”
Trextan sat back down again and sighed. Normally he was presented with a problem that could be fixed. Like his father in that situation he just picked a path and got on with it.
In this situation he was entirely lost for what he could do to make amends. Her mind was her own.
To keep his mind busy he took the tube from his belt. It wasn't quite complete. The crystal was in place, the power cell anchored to the bottom. He couldn't even recall doing that. All that was left was finishing the emitter assembly and ensuring the focusing lenses were without flaw. But he knew that right now he wasn't in the right frame of mind for it. It took a great deal of concentration.
At that thought he felt a bubble if resentment towards her for ruining this. That anger that had been cultivated for so many years threatened to escape from the place it was buried.
He cast an apologetic glance in the direction Choli had left, even though she wasn't listening to his thoughts. It was his fault. That rankled but he could put himself in her shoes and see why she had reacted so.
He just wished he had thought of going to explore the rest of the cave to give himself something else to do.
