She shivers and relaxes into Elesse. "But crossing near towns - small ones - every now and then is good," she murmurs.

"To restock on supplies?"

"And to see something else new - like museums."

"In a small town?"

"Sometimes! That artsy trail I mentioned earlier was between mostly smaller towns, with small museums... Though it wasn't as remote as some trails."

She smiles. "Clearly I have much more yet to learn."

"I'll be happy to teach you."

"Thank you, Anakin."

"Assuming, of course, that we escape this collapse."

"We will."

"Lily knows where we are, and - once I'm calmer, I can start moving the stones on the outer layer away..."

"That is very good to hear."

Snug, and deep breaths.

"I'm - a lot calmer than I was..."

"If help is coming from outside, then there is no need to push yourself. We seem to be quite safe for the moment."

"...Well, no one's going to shoot us in here... But I'd be worried about further destabilization, if there's other explosions."

"A fair point."

"I should at least expand my awareness of what's going on..."

"Can I do anything to help?"

"I should meditate."

"Just - keep holding me, I guess? And don't - move or make a lot of noise while I'm meditating?"

"I can do that."

She shifts a little to make sure she's comfortable.

She shifts, too, straightening her back and settling into a more comfortable position. Her breaths even out, her emotions calm even farther - turn into a warm, pleasant haze - and she stretches her awareness out, evaluating the area around them, the movement of minds, whatever danger she can sense from the future (when she's focused like this - Anakin is very good at precognition), where Lily is and what she's doing...

There's no one in the immediate area, and it seems like the fighting is dying down everywhere. She feels Lily next to a clump of simmeringly-hostile presences, likely the ringleaders of the attack.

There's one piece of rubble that's going to start slipping some time in the next five minutes, and two more that will tip over because of footstep vibrations when Lily comes to get them...

And, faintly, almost missable even by her, a strange tingling around Elesse. A potentiality draped over her like mist, ever-so-lightly darkening her destiny, hinting at a danger to come. (A shatterpoint yet to form, if such a thing were possible.)

...Huh.

She mentally notes the not quite shatterpoint, but sets aside the urge to poke it in favor of gently reaching out to resettle the loose rubble. This creates some soft noises audible from inside their bubble, but she doesn't drop anything or mess up, so.

(She finishes, and very gently pokes at the potential danger around Elesse, trying to explore it more.)

It vanishes under her scrutiny, like fog in the morning sun.

(Probably very far off then... But it's interesting.)

She comes up out of her meditation, shifting and snuggling into Elesse.

"Did you find success?"

"Yeah. I was able to stabilize more of the rubble, and..." She summaries what she sensed elsewhere in the facility. (She doesn't mention the weird feeling around Elesse, though.)
