Trace could feel him starting to laugh before she heard it, but the humor was completely lost on her.
What's so funny? she asked. If it hadn't been so dark, he would have seen a totally blank expression on her face. He admitted that he didn't have any idea what to do with it either and agreed that they head out. But he also mentioned something else... reporting it back to command for higher ups to deal with. No one knew that they'd actually come out here, and no one was expecting a report on this particular escapade.
What if... what if we don't report it? What if we just leave it and come back someday? she asked. The statement could be construed by some as treason, and maybe she shouldn't have trusted him after having known him for so short a period of time, but life and death situations managed to forge bonds faster than most things.
They continued onward, limping toward the exit together despite not having actually found the exit. She thought she could still hear whispers in the Force from the nexus, trying to draw them back, but she kept on, more out of fear than actual determination.
She came to a stop at a "crossroads," reaching out to gain a sense of both directions. I think there might be stairs or a ladder to the right, she said. That's where the guards earlier were coming from, right? she asked, her mind once again returning to this fugitive.
She headed down the direction that the guards had come from, hearing rustling in the nearby buildings. She couldn't gain a sense of what exactly it was, but she thought she sensed an animal of some kind.
Most of the animals in places like this are just vermin, she said. Denon was a city world and therefore not so different from Taris, but her upbringing hadn't had her in the bowels of Taris.
What's Bandomeer like? I've never been there, she said.
