“I don’t mind! I like being secret. No one can see me while I’m slicing stuff!” The twi’lek pipes up, grinning. “I’m Thekla!”

“And the woman looming over us all and plotting our grisly murders is Kyniska Fett.”

Kyn continues to glower. 

"It's nice to meet all of you."

“If you don’t mind me asking, what is a gorgeous specimen of force sensitivity doing all the way out here?”

Ri-Sei can feel a slight push against her mind, like someone very clumsily trying to read her thoughts. Someone very untrained. 

No dice. Her mind isn't even a fortress; it's a hurricane, and good luck tracking any specific drop of rain or bit of cloud.

"I heard here's good for going unnoticed. Seem to have been a bit wrong about that, but the Force works in mysterious ways."

Kaz has the grace to at least look shamed. “Well, there is some truth in that. We do all seem to bump into each other at some point!”

“We’re drawing attention. We need to go.”

“But- my generator is still on!”

“Kyn, come on.”

She doesn’t spare them a backwards look as she heads back through the dockyards, heading deeper into the city. 

Thekla waves sadly at Ri-Sei, before following after the Mandalorian. 

Kaz sighs, watching them go. “You wouldn’t know it, but originally I hired her as a bodyguard. Now she’s bossing me around!”

"Tragic. Still, it's good she's serious about her job."

Ri-Sei is definitely not important to anyone whose attention was attracted.

“Too serious. If she ever smiled I think I’d have a heart attack.”

Kaz stretches, then steps away. “Listen. Nar Shaddaa is a pretty rough place. Watch yourself. Force users aren’t particularly welcome.”

"Thanks for the heads up. I'll be careful."

Kaz winks, and is off after the other two.

“Who was that?” Bastila stands next to Ri-Sei, feeling relieved to be close to her again. 

She relays a summary of the conversation.

"Did they recognise you?"

"Don't think so. I expect they would've acted differently if they had."

"That's-" Bastila stops herself, turning away, taking a few deep breaths. That Ri-Sei doesn't remember who she is a good thing. She doesn't want to disrupt that. 

"I'm sorry. I'm on edge." 

She nods, slowly. "It's alright."

"You don't know how much danger you're in!"

"Someone wants us dead, right?"
