Private Unseen Cargo

[Pari Sylune]

Pari could sense the guilt and the trauma that hung in the air. These men were trying to help and they felt bad for the ones they could not help. That was something she understood, but she was not certain what to say. She did not know them well enough to offer any sympathy without it sounding pandering. She settled for a look of compassionate understanding until her name was asked.

“Pari Sylune.”

She held Ace’s eyes for a moment, her head tilting almost like a cats when confused. There was a connection there but she couldn’t place it. She hadn’t ever met him before either so how could that be?

Talk started to turn towards where to put her and she felt a pang of guilt herself for putting them out like this.

“I want to help others but I’m not sure how much good I will be. I haven’t even constructed my lightsaber yet.”

"There's no safe place for the Jedi right now. Bringing Pari back for now is the best option. The Hidden Path was originally made to help hide and ferry Jedi and other Force Sensitives after all." And it seemed Peri didn't want to just be dropped off somewhere. Even with everything that had already happened, her first thoughts were on how she could possibly help, hmm? It brought one of those faint smiles to his face as he nodded.

"Then we'll figure out something else you can help with. I'm sure we'll find something. Aris, by the way. .. For now though, you want anything to eat?"

Ace leaned back in the chair, letting Aris's words hang for a moment. His brow slightly rose at the open mention of the Path, but he didn't call it out, not in front of her. Maybe he was being overly cautious. Instead, he shifted his gaze back to Pari.​

​

"You don't need a lightsaber to matter. Survival, keeping your head, lending a hand when it counts? That's already something. Don't sell yourself short."​

​

He scratched absently at his jaw, then let his hand drop back to the console.​

​

"For now, what you do is get your strength back. We'll worry about what comes next after we land."​

​

His eyes flicked briefly to Aris, a silent exchange there, then back to Pari.​

​

"Food sounds like the smart call."​

​

As the ship hummed around them, Ace leaned back again, exhaling through his nose. Aris had said it himself - he couldn't save them all. How many more had been taken, scattered, lost to the Empire? Ace tightened his jaw, the thought sitting heavy. Well… they'd saved this one. Now they had to make sure she was ready for what came next.​
