Private Headaches and Jailbreaks

[Kita]

A surge of panic shot through her the moment Kaila was shot. A small ball of tension sprung up in a similar spot on her own knee, to the point Kita looked down in confusion. There was nothing there however.

Kita decided not to meditate on the feeling as the boarding ramp carried them both up.

"Are you ok?" The girl flocked back to the older woman's side, offering help that she clearly didn't need.

As they moved into the ship. Kita adopted that same wide eyed amazement she met every new discovery with. She moved around the quarters with a certain carefulness, as if she was afraid of disturbing the air particles. "This is incredible."

It was then she caught sight of the sights. Within the span of a second her face was pressed up against the view port, definitely leaving smudged handprints on the glass in her effort to take in the view. "Nevermind. This is incredible."

She turned back to the woman, full of hope and amazement, as if the past week had been washed away.

"Is Echnos your home?" She cautioned, parroting the location Kaila had mentioned.

Anathemous merely nodded in confirmation that she was "okay" as they entered the cockpit, despite the look on her face saying otherwise. Even so, her master had beaten into her a high tolerance for pain, and so a cheap blaster burn was nothing but a temporary setback in the grand scheme of things.

She even managed a feint smile at Kita's curiosity before gritting her teeth again.

"For the moment, yes" she winced softly, plopping down into the pilot's seat.

"I am the military governor, have been ever since the alliance siege a few months ago. I was hoping to ambush their agents when we found your captors instead"

The stars outside seemed to abruptly stretch as the hyperdrive finally engaged, heralded by a brief jolt of the entire craft that was quickly stabilized by inertial dampeners right before they were pulled into the endless blue hyperspace tunnel, all sounds of battle behind them having since faded.


"Here, how about we make a trade, yeah?" she turned to Kita

"I'll tell you whatever you wish to know, if you'll go and wake up my medical probe. It's next to the bacta tank, you take a right turn out of the cockpit, first doorway leads to my med-chamber"

She would have answered the girl's questions either way of course, but with her bad leg, she might as well use the girl's desire to help in some small way.
