Re: The shapes
"Huh." Lyla said. She wondered Tera had escaped from that Tatooine seemed like a good idea, but that level probing into eachother's backstories could wait for another time. But it sounded so familiar. "Last time I was here, some Imperials picked me up for giving directions to Mos Eisley to old Ben Kenobi, the Skywalker kid, and two droids. Dunno why. Apparently those were the droids they were looking for or something..." Lyla began to explain, thinking back to those hard times. Her voice grew bitter with how she'd been screwed over by bad luck, circumstances, and the Empire. "Anyway, they questioned me a while, discovered I'd also led some crashed spacers out of the desert, and charged me with aiding the Rebellion of all things. Apparently they were Rebels who'd survived some space battle. They were going to send me off to Kessel, but don't think they had me down for spice mining... Anyway, those Rebels broke me out and we got off planet. But I was a wanted criminal after that, so I had no choice but to stick with the Rebellion."
"See, Tatooine hasn't been a backwater for decades. If it was, the Hutts wouldn't be here."
"We're not actually here officially, though. The others had an idea to get Tallon after we stumbled across word of him, so here we are. But I'm sure you could come with us."
