Sola was still on Naboo. It had been a few weeks since her awkward conversation with Quin, but she supposed it was working in her favor: he always looked at her with pity in his eyes, and it seemed she was not the only one with a conflicted mind. He had been the one to suggest this walk, but Sola thought it was more painful to walk side by side silently, both of them drawn into themselves. Several times she had taken a breath in and opened her mouth as if to speak, but she always exhaled heavily and lowered her head slightly. She was now watching her feet as they walked, her brown boots in contrast with her white leggings. Part of her desperately missed her slightly baggier black pants, tunic and cloak. She was vaguely reminded of the outfit she wore when she first met Quin- today she wore light brown leather boots (these were hers, at least), white leggings (that she found too tight), and a pale blue tunic that she had borrowed from one of the younger maids at Quin's house (the tunic was too tight in her opinion as well).
Her mind had never really gotten a break since she had made her decision to lie to Quin. She was not a good actress, but she didn't really need to act to appear conflicted, upset, or depressed. She knew Quin's pity was what she needed but it hurt her pride every time she caught him looking at her as if she was a wounded animal that needed to be doctored. She also knew he thought she didn't act like a real Sith, which wounded her pride even further. Her pride was now quite bruised but then so was her soul.
