The following morning, Zaia would wake up in a bed, Zad on a couch, though whether man or woman had gotten much sleep was another story. The former, who could say, but the latter had stayed awake more often than he had wanted to.
On Lothal, there was no sea outside the motel’s window with which to gaze upon, so Zad settled for the HV. He didn’t intend to wake his ward in the early morning, knowing she needed to rest her weary head, but watching a documentary on ocean life was somehow soothing for the Ranger.
I could live there, he thought as small fish swam with big fish and a scuba diver swam with both. Hiding in the ocean. No one can find me. No one can see me. Just me. Was that it? Am I… On that couch, Zad frowned, sipping from a glass of water in place of whisky. Am I…hiding?
He shook his head. That was a dumb theory. Ask the Trandoshan if you’re hiding, Zad Ruzed. That Trandoshan was awake, cuffed to a radiator in the room and already mouthing off insulting threats and threatening insults.
“Shut your pie hole, son,” the Ranger quipped. “That lady you tried to wack? She surely has a headache and you’re already giving me one.”
