Ellia sat back in Din’s new ship, a refurbished N1 Naboo star fighter. Surprisingly, Pelli managed to fit an extra seat without sacrificing anything mechanical or speed wise. It wasn’t spacious like the Razor Crest, but there was a place for her to store her bag, and it got you to your destination faster. Ellia didn’t know what Din would do if he had to pick up a bounty for credits.
Oh, Din. Even though he had the helmet on, she could tell he was surprised that both she and Grogu came back from training with Luke. While learning from another teacher was beneficial in her eyes, she could see that they weren’t going to agree when it came to lesson plans. Luke was trained by members of the old Jedi Council, including their faults, while she had learned of the Gray Jedi, which was a freer path to follow. She would figure things out on her own, and maybe even pass on what she knew to Grogu.
The little green guy was fast asleep in the refurbished droid carrier, with a whole ceiling of stars above him. For the first time, since she and Grogu left Din to train with Skywalker, Ellia felt at peace. And she wanted to stay this way.
“Were you able to find anyone from your covert?” She softly asked Din from her seat behind him. They hadn’t spoken much since they left Tatooine.
