IT HAD BEEN HOURS SINCE REYNA WAS THROWN BACK INTO A CELL. This time, she wasn't able to be free of her cuffs since Leo wasn't there with her. Nor did she have her lightsaber anymore. Not to mention, the guards chained her to the floor, only allowing her walking room since the cuffs were attached to the metal floor. At least, they had unchained her feet. Prince Zuko hadn't visited her either since the whole escape plan. Well, it wasn't much of a plan, really—more of an attempt. Reyna wasn't sure how to have reacted to this. She likes to think she has an idea of who Zuko is and how he works, so she figured that he was stewing in anger or passed out from being drained of his energy.
General Skywalker had managed to heal some of her wounds, but couldn't reach the ones on her back. For now, that would just have to do.
The young Jedi Knight was suddenly awoken from her sleep. She could sense his presence approaching her, making the girl slightly nervous, not really knowing what to expect from the banished Prince of the Fire Nation.
Reyna leaned against the wall, eyes closed and a calm expression on her face as Zuko finally stood before her. She peaked an eye open, seeing that Zuko's facial expression was unreadable. The only thing she could see was that he kept putting his hands into fists and dropping them, repeating the action. His body was tense and jaw clenched.
"I'm confused." Zuko finally spoke in a voice just above a whisper. He knelt down before Reyna, causing her to give him her full attention.
"As am I." Reyna spoke softly. "What are you confused about?"
Zuko studied the girl before him, his hands no longer in fists as they hung loosely at his sides. His gold eyes met her grey ones, both of them not daring to brake away first. Reyna, to Zuko, was otherworldly. After all, she wasn't born in the same planet at him, so in a sense, it is true. She is also uncharted territory. Was he starting to get to know her? Yes. But then there's so much more that Zuko doesn't know about the girl. She was from a galaxy far, far away where for her, the Force is a normal thing. For him, the Force is new and albeit slightly scary. He's an even bigger outsider than he ever was before. But Reyna was like him. She could do the same things he can. They were quite similar.
"I'm confused because..... I should be angry at you...but I'm not."
Reyna's eyes softened.
"You didn't try to escape," Zuko continued, "but you did fight my crew and made sure that the Avatar and traitor escaped."
Reyna took a moment to choose her next words carefully.
"Truth be told, Zu..... I didn't want to escape. Even now, I still don't."
