while ahsoka had hoped she and trilla would cross paths again, she didn’t expect it to be like this. while she’d hoped she would find it in herself to leave, to find a way out of the empire and the trap she thought she couldn’t escape, she couldn’t have quite predicted that the other would end up here. to know that trilla’s helping other people escape the empire, to find some kind of peace in their lives after everything, it’s.. something else. it makes ahsoka proud.Â
she’d arrived early on purpose, wanting to make sure she didn’t miss anything. the last thing she wants is for trilla to give her the slip and disappear, off on another mission before they have a chance to talk. the place she’s taken this particular mother and son to isn’t the fanciest, but it’s well out of the empire’s reach and it’ll have what they need to get a fresh start. shadows move behind the door and ahsoka waits for a moment as trilla steps out, not wanting to disturb the family settling in inside.
“trilla,” she calls as she steps out of the shadows, hands raised to show she’s not here as a threat. she knows she’s probably going to hit some resistance here, but clearly something has changed. trilla’s priorities have changed. at the very least, ahsoka wants to try and help. pausing, her eyes move towards the building trilla’s just left. “are they alright? settled in okay?”
