His description left her with the image of robed, severe people with glowing swords, bursting into rooms and seizing control of one's thoughts. It sounded very familiar to Lily, who frowned thoughtfully at the ground while she considered.

"No," she shook her head and let her hand fall back to her side, looking down at herself as if she were making a last-minute check for any damage.

"And you?" Still appearing very concerned for Slick and the plight of his absolutely massive family she looked back up at him. "How did you come to be here?"

"Good." And surprising, given, y'know, night in a lake. "I'd say you got lucky."

He didn't, though. "I messed up. A couple of officers found me out, and I got captured." There's bits of it that he can remember distinctly, but there's more that the head injury's muddled into a haze of half-formed memories and raw anger.

"The last thing I knew, I was getting shipped away to somewhere. And then," he waves a hand vaguely toward Sa-Hareth. "Just woke up in the prison down by the settlement there. Don't remember what happened in between. I guess they dumped me here. Don't know why. I was pretty sure they were just going to shoot me." He was a traitor. As far as he knew, that was a capital offense.

"What about you? I can almost make sense of why I'm here, but you seem like a good kid."

Hearing that Slick's arrival was as hazy to him as a good part of hers still was, was almost a relief. That she still couldn't recall how she came to be at the hands of the people in the forest was just beyond the reach of her mind unsettled Lily greatly, it was reassuring that she wasn't the only one confused arriving here.

While he had gotten away with it a few times, being called a good kid finally caught her attention, and Lily's narrowed her eyes at him, suddenly amused.

"How old are you? How old do you think I am? You talk as though you were twice my age." It certainly sounded like he had been through quite a lot, regardless of how old he was, but the way he referred to her as though he were twice her age struck her as somewhat odd, and a little funny.

"I'm ten." Which was a whole other bucket of slime the Republic and Kaminoans had dumped on them, but at moments like this, it could be funny. "And I'm a sergeant, which is the part that matters. Everyone corporal and below is a kid."

"At least, that's how it is in the army." And technically, that wasn't him anymore. "I've got a lot of habits to break," He pauses for a moment, smirking. "Though I'm not sure I'm going to work too hard on that one. What d'you think?"
