[ Action; Genessia City; ]

[ Hera feels, for lack of a better term, detached from everything that's going on around her. It's not really her fault, given all she's been through lately. It might be for the best, though, because at least she's not panicking. No, in general she's feeling mostly numb. So she seemingly takes her arrival, and the infodump provided, in stride, and before she knows it, she's wandering the streets of this strange city that seems to be nowhere near Lothal or any other place she's familiar with in the galaxy.

She's stuck. Grounded. And people are staring at her like - like she's some kind of freak. Have none of them ever seen a Twi'lek before? ]

What are you looking at?

[ Her voice isn't defensive, it's mostly - dull. But there's an underlying hardness, as well. A certain amount of suspicion, like she doesn't trust anyone here.

Eventually, she finds her way to a series of shops and small cafes, and when she gets a whiff of something - baking bread or a pastry of some sort - she makes a nauseated face and turns away from the smell, her brow furrowing a little. There must be somewhere to sit down, right? Maybe she just needs to sit down. ]

I need the services of a medical doctor familiar with non-human biology. I'll come to you.

- H. Syndulla

Well... I just mean, like our galaxy. And there's more people from our galaxy there. Cassian and Kay live in another city, but it's a little too different for me.

[firstrebel]

Yes, I've spoken to them. The technology level does seem a bit... variable. But then again I was born on Ryloth, and my people use beasts of burden to get around as much as they do speeders.

[ Hera shrugs. ]

[snippings]

I spent most of my life on Coruscant, so... yeah. I mean, I'd be fine on a farming world or whatever, but it's weird not having a lot of droids around here.

[firstrebel]

Mostly I just miss my droid. But I know what you mean.

[ Frankly, Chopper would be both a help and a comfort to her. ]

[snippings]

And I know what you mean too. Artoo's not my droid, but I miss him a lot.

It's silly, but back home I used to talk to myself like he was still around. But, uh, here I've got other people to talk to at least? And I'm not running from the Empire, which is always good.

[firstrebel]

I - don't think it's silly.

[ Alone, in private, she talks to Kanan. Tells him the things she was always able to tell him, and him alone. She's sure if someone ever saw her doing it, they'd think she's crazy. Maybe she is, but she likes to think he can hear her. Or that the Force can hear her, or... something. ]

Not running from the Empire is good. For a change.

[snippings]

[At the very least, it's not as silly as imagining what Obi-Wan and Anakin would do in every situation. Cause she used to do that. The only reason she's stopped now is that she actually lives with them, but she still catches herself doing it sometimes.]

And it's a big change. So... yeah. Just keep in mind that you're not alone, okay? You... probably don't know them. In the future, I mean? Cause... well. Uh anyways, the people I live with are from our galaxy too. And I'm sure they'd be fine having you over for dinner some time or getting to know you too! Anakin actually fought in the Battle of Ryloth too. Well, so did Master Obi-Wan, but he's from before that so.

Sorry, this is too much all at once, right?

[firstrebel]

No, it's - it's fine. I've... heard of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

[ The man on Kanan's holocron. Kanan had told her about him, more than she'd learned as a girl from her father.

She tries for a small smile. ]

Thank you, Ahsoka.

[snippings]

You're welcome seems weird to say in this situation... but you're welcome? And good luck settling in.
