Arla nodded enthusiastically as he mentioned visiting where Matukai was born. She was a strong advocate of staying in connection with one's roots, and if she could encourage others to do just that, then she would.
You definitely should, she said. With all the spare time you probably have as Commander, she said with a snort. She could only imagine how packed his life had gotten if it was anything comparable to what she'd seen from Sith Masters.
Arla couldn't decide if she should be amused, offended, flattered, or something else entirely by the comments about her people. Ultimately, she decided he probably wasn't talking about her - or getting that dreamy eye about her - and kept pressing onward. Did she want him to be? She wasn't really sure and it was a childish thing to even waste any brain power on.
Interesting. Well maybe someday I'll look into Matukai teachings as well, she said.
As he stated that she could take the bed, she frowned slightly. It's fine, I'll sit up for a while at least, she said. We can split watch. If we weren't waiting for something horrible, I'd let the runes do the guarding for us, but this is too high risk, she said.
I can wake you after first watch, she said. She moved over and sat in a corner of the room with her back to the wall, pulling out a piece of wood and her hunting knife as she started going to work on a small carving.
