The Road Home

[Aela Talith]

She bandaged his knuckles quickly.

Aela was no healer, but her Mother had shown her often enough how to patch up a scrape or a cut. It wasn't exactly rocket science, and it helped that she had read a few medical books. She reminded herself to ask Auntie Amorella for some lesson in how to use the force for healing. A fleeting thought that she hoped she would remember.

Her eyes flashed towards the viewport, her gaze shifting slightly as the massive Star Destroyer began to take up more and more of the windows. Three sets of orange eyes watched, six pupils thinning slightly as a shadow was cast through the cockpit.

Aela felt her chest tighten.

Her breath caught.

Shaking fingers tied off the bandages around Micah's hands, eyes fixated on the Star Destroyer above them.

 

[Kaili Talith]

Kaili turned around to look at Micah with a smile of appreciation. Of course, she had it under control. It was all in the composure. She was terrified, but she didn’t let that get to her. There was a tension in the room that the young one really didn’t need to add to. Sure, her heart was practically bursting and her nerves tying themselves up, but she didn’t let that show.

“Remember what mother and father said,” She turned back to look into the viewport. “You control your emotions.”

“Fear will not help you, determination will. So stop it.” She turned to Felix. “You’re doing good, Felix, I think you can push it just a little further now.”

"Hey," Micah's voice was soft and directed to Aela. He caught the expression of fear. The tightening in her chest, the way she held her breath.

It was strange seeing Aela like this; a completely different side of her. She was terrified.

Bandaged knuckles would curl as his fingers would tighten against Aela's own in reassurance.

"We'll be fine." he told her. "Just gotta stick together, right?"

How odd for Micah to be the one attempting to provide reassurance. His attention went back to the sensor array. He too was trying to keep himself under control.

"We got a corvette coming in..." he told Nohei, seeing the small dot appear in their sensor range.

As long as they didn't fire back, they wouldn't spot their ship. "Just keep going...." soon enough, they would be able to burn lines in the sky.
