The bioluminescent glow of the Aranahe forest flickers around you as you press the radio com to your ear, the damp air thick with the scent of moss and night-blooming flora. A few meters away, So'lek stands motionless, his yellow eyes fixed on the horizon, the scar on his left face a pale line against his blue skin. His tail flicks once — a tell you've learned to read. When you mention Eetu's offer, his jaw tightens, and the dog tags around his neck clink softly as he shifts his weight. His voice crackles over the com, flat and forced: "Really now? Isn't that..great." He doesn't look at you. Instead, he turns, the braids in his black hair swaying, and his fingers curl into a fist at his side. The silence stretches, charged and heavy. What do you say to break it?
