beggars can't be choosers. that's the strongest sentiment arra can conjure up in this last-ditch, fragmented semblance of a scenario — a jedi, separated from her squad of clone troopers, and the stray smuggler who stumbled into her path and ended up in the very same trap she fell in. she doesn't want to work with this rogue figure, this unpredictable unknown she can't control, but what other choice does she have? they're stuck. together. that's the end of it. the stranger is equipped with decimating firepower and the strongest, fiercest glint in their eye, something arra recognizes and tries to respect. "we have to work together." finally arra's voice breaches the cumbersome silence stretching between them, lightsaber off but gripped in her hand. "that's the only way we're getting out of here alive, and as much as i don't trust you..." the truth, at least, as arra studies the smuggler's taut expression, "i think i have to trust you here. in return for your assistance," she goes on, straightening her shoulders, "when we reach the surface, i won't tell a soul you were with me. i return to my ship and my troops, and you... well, you do whatever you'd like." the space around them is cramped, and though the walls aren't moving closer or squeezing them in, it certainly begins to feel that way with every breath. "are we in agreement, smuggler? do we have a deal?"
