the reports had taken her by surprise. but ahsoka’s checked the sources multiple times, she’s confirmed the truth of them, the reality she’d hoped would come but couldn’t be sure would ever happen. that trilla would truly, willingly, help the new jedi.

it’s hard to be sure in which capacity, given the reports aren’t sure. there’s only bits and pieces of information, and while she trusts cal’s judgement, she needs to see it for herself. it’s - not often people return from the dark side and make a change to this degree. and she wants to believe it, she’s always had faith that trilla could return. she knows the woman is capable, but.. she needs to be sure.

she’d sent a request first, unsure she would even get a response. but if thatw asthe choice trilla made, ahsoka would accept it - she wouldn’t force trilla into a conversation she didn’t want. so when she’d received a short response, agreement to meet on a neutral mid-rim system, and ahsoka hadn’t wasted any time. waiting at the agreed meeting point, the togruta can only hope trilla doesn’t change her mind.

he’s working on bd1 when he senses her presence. edging back into the force hasn’t been easy, but for now he’s.. grateful for it. for the warning that trilla’s coming. he slips the spare bits of scrap into his pocket, lets the droid take his usual perch on cal’s shoulder, and pushes himself up, prepared to face her. certainly more prepared to do so now he’s got his friend at his side again, at least.

the last thing cal expects is for trilla to seek him out like this. not without a reason, and certainly not in the small, abandoned apartment he’s calling a temporary home for the time being. they’re not - allies, not really. they may not be enemies anymore - not for the time being, at least - but they’re certainly not friends. for her to approach him like this is unprecedented, not without wanting something from him. and usually cal would go onto the defensive immediately, prepare for the worst or at the very least assume it.

but the moment he sees her, he knows something’s wrong. for a woman who is always cool, calm, and collected when she sees cal, who always has her expression schooled in a way that will best serve whatever it is she hopes to gain from their interaction - to see her like this, so unsettled, makes him nervous, and he has to clasp his hands together behind his back to keep still. “what’s happened?” he asks instinctively, feeling bd1 shift on his shoulder. the droid can probably hear the anxiety in his voice. there are so few things in the galaxy that get under trilla’s skin. whatever it is, it can’t be good. and if she’s coming to him about it? even worse, as far as cal’s concerned. “what’s going on, trilla? why - why are you here?”
