Trini watched as the cab sped off with the professor, breathing a slight sigh of relief as the vehicle disappeared out of sight. She shook her head, and was about to admonish Laeonas for sending the other human away so quickly, when she turned around to see his expression.
"He... well, I don't think he has to deal with anyone as a person very often." The Amaran consoled, as a battered speeder taxi stopped in front of them. "It took him long enough to acknowledge that I was a sentient being! I'm pretty sure he still doesn't think I'm much besides a warm body to go out and do leg-work for him."
"He didn't even notice me."
Trini grimaced, looking down at Zeezee; the navigator droid had kept a low profile during their expedition.
"That's probably for the best, to be honest... I've never seen him be anything like civil to a droid. The bibliomechs at the university have learned to give him a wide berth, I've noticed."
The cab reached the spaceport after a few minutes, and after paying the driver, the two strode toward Laeonas' ship. Trini rubbed one of her upper arms uncomfortably.
"Listen, though... we are going to need to involve him in this."
