"Ugh. I think you've got me beat."
"Ugh. I think you've got me beat."
Elias smiled, "Truce then?"
"Sure. Fun game. Thanks for playing."
Elias laughed. "You have no idea how much I enjoyed that. I haven't played in so long… Anyway, wanna call it a night?"
"Yeah." Essar got up. "I'm gonna go see what Hi-5's doing."
(Erudite you on?)
Elias walked back into the boys bunk room, and sat down on his bed. he was worried about Winter. He shouldn't be because she was fine, but he always worried for her, because she never worried about anything…
Essar poked around trying to find Hi-5. She wasn't in the cockpit, or that one closet she liked to brood in. "5! Where are ya?"
"Down here." Essar looked down and found she had pried open the floor. "Whatcha doing?"
"Repairing the shields." She replied. "They took a beating getting off of Garel."
(Ya! Here!)
(Huzzah! Do we want to time skip to Naboo or do more bonding and what not.)
(Idc, whatever is cool with you guys.)
( I would like a moment where Winter is incredibly vulnerable, like a nightmare maybe?)
(Plus, we really haven't heard much of Hi-5 here. Just a little more)
(Ok.)
(Erudite, Winter and Shiloh can have a conversation…If you want)
(Ok.)
Essar poked around trying to find Hi-5. She wasn't in the cockpit, or that one closet she liked to brood in. "5! Where are ya?"
"Down here." Essar looked down and found she had pried open the floor. "Whatcha doing?"
"Repairing the shields." She replied. "They took a beating getting off of Garel."
Essar nodded. "You alright? You're a bit cranky."
"I'm always cranky."
"Not really. What's bugging ya?" Essar said, sitting down next to her and grabbing a Hydrospanner.
"Nothing."
"Oh c'mon now, that's a bunch of poodo."
Hi-5 sighed. "Can we really trust these people? We met them at a cantins for Jabba's sake."
Essar shrugged. "I had feeling."
"What are you, a Jedi?"
"Nah, just trained myself to read people I guess."
Shiloh leaned against the wall, hugging her knees and eavesdropping. She watched Essar head to talk to Hi-5 and she listened to their conversation.
"Can we really trust these people? We met them at a cantina for Jabba's sake," Hi-5 asked.
"I had a feeling." Essar.
"What are you, a Jedi?" Hi-5 replied sarcastically.
"Nah, just trained myself to read people I guess," Essar said.
Shiloh's heart plummeted. If the group found out what she'd been through to get here…especially Hi-5. She rested her forehead on her knees, to distressed to move.
Meanwhile, Winter walked into the girls bunk room. She felt bad for leaving Elias alone. She knew that he was paranoid about losing her, or watching her get hurt, or captured. She just needed time alone. It was one of those times again. Afraid to go to sleep because of the dreams that would creep into her mind, and tear her apart. She couldn't afford to have one of those dreams here, not now anyway. She trusted Essar, and Shiloh, and hi-5 occasionally, but she never trusted herself. She never believed in herself. Maybe that's why she didn't have fear. She had nothing to prove, and nothing to lose, if she failed. She looked up to see Shiloh walking into the bunk room. She put on a smile. "Hey. How's your arm? We never formally met, so I thought maybe we could get to know each other better? You know, like talk? I'm sorry if I sound so awkward. I really haven't talked to a girl since I was 12. I had nobody to talk to for 6 years on that planet, well until, two months ago, when I found Elias. So, please tell me about yourself Shiloh."
(I'll be back in a little, sorry! Will respond ASAP though!)
Essar nodded. "You alright? You're a bit cranky."
"I'm always cranky."
"Not really. What's bugging ya?" Essar said, sitting down next to her and grabbing a Hydrospanner.
"Nothing."
"Oh c'mon now, that's a bunch of poodo."
Hi-5 sighed. "Can we really trust these people? We met them at a cantins for Jabba's sake."
Essar shrugged. "I had feeling."
"What are you, a Jedi?"
"Nah, just trained myself to read people I guess."
Hi-5 humphed, repairing some wires. "I don't like Shiloh."
"Why's that? Don't tell me, you don't trust her."
"Yeah, she didn't really explain how she managed to read our lips from across a cantina."
"And I should be worried because…?"
She shrugged. "I don't know."
"Well how do you feel about the Hothians."
"They're fine I guess. Clearly against the Empire."
"So you don't know if you can trust Shiloh because you aren't sure about her alliances? She killed a couple of troopers 5."
"Has the Empire really cared really cared about expandable soldiers?"
Elias heard a muffled argument coming from down the hall. He really didn't care who it was. He was not in his happy place. He thought it was about him and Winter. They hadn't really shown who's side that they were on. He hated the Empire, and Winter did too, but people were scared of them because of where they were from and what they could do. Elias braced himself in case something broke out that he had to stop…

"Has the Empire really cared really cared about expandable soldiers?"
"True." Essar said.
"If it makes you happy, I'll trust them for now. Since we seem to be a team." Hi-5 shut the panel and got up.
"So does this make us rebels again Essar?"
Elias was on his bunk, staring into nothingness, when the argument stopped. He didn't care. He just wanted to feel safe for once in his life, and not to be the one that someone looked to.
"I don't like Shiloh." It was Hi-5, obviously
"Why's that? Don't tell me, you don't trust her." Essar.
Shiloh left. She didn't want to hear the rest of it. She found Winter already in her bunk. "Um… hey." Shiloh sat down in the bunk across from her.
(I'm thinking that the bunks are like this, with the door in the opening: |_|)
(Yeah.)
Winter was thinking. She never trusted herself. She never believed in herself. Maybe that's why she didn't have fear. She had nothing to prove, and nothing to lose, if she failed. She looked up to see Shiloh walking into the bunk room. She put on a smile. "Hey. How's your arm? We never formally met, so I thought maybe we could get to know each other better?

(Oh Shiloh, that was a cliché move…)
(I like it!)
"True." Essar said.
"If it makes you happy, I'll trust them for now. Since we seem to be a team." Hi-5 shut the panel and got up.
"So does this make us rebels again Essar?"
Essar sighed. "What do you mean 5?"
"You know."
"Clearly I don't. Our jobs technically make us rebels."
"Are we joining up with the alliance again?"
"No!" Essar shook his head. "Not after what happened. 'Sides we technically went AWOL."
"Oh, me first?" Shiloh thought. "Um…" She bit her lip. "Well, I'm a mechanic. I've been good with parts and technology since I was little. I used to live on Endor and now I'm here," she said. She moaned and closed her eyes. "I'm sorry, I've never been good at interacting with other living beings before."
