He'd already turned, forcing his leaden legs to begin the walk back inside the temple with whatever he held between his hands. His mind had started to wander towards guessing at just what it was without taking a look inside; even beyond the sensations in the Force, there was a certain scent to it that the box itself was not managing to perfectly contain. He was certain there was some sort of body part inside the box. Something that rolled around well, so it had to be at least mostly round, so it couldn't just be a hand or something like that. It still made a hard enough contact that it couldn't be some internal organ, either, like a heart.
why am I even thinking about this what is wrong with my head right now
Given the size of the box, as well...he definitely didn't want to open it up and find someone's face staring up at him.
When he brought his eyes back into focus and saw a temple guard standing right ahead of him, arms out, there was no hesitation in him handing the thing over. Resisting the urge to toss it over at the other knight was important, because overall it did not seem like the sort of thing to just be throwing around; but when another one was close enough to just take it?
No thought required, here you go, have a nice day.
He felt instantly better as soon as it was no longer in his hands, though his jaw was still clenched against whatever might try to force its way up and out; within another few steps, that feeling subsided, too.
"So, we uh..."
He trailed off into a silence as sudden as when he'd started speaking, rapidly growing aware of just the caliber of people who'd all been making their way around to see what the commotion was. At least the droid, binary protestations ringing in the air as it floated in next to him, was just as out of its depth as he was. Still, he'd already spoken up, he couldn't just let the thought disappear entirely—he'd probably have them prodding at him to finish it, anyways, so he may as well get it out, no matter how poor the taste.
"...Got any clue who might be in there before we open it?"
