INT - JUNK SHIP COCKPIT - DAY/NIGHT
Kyra climbs into the cockpit and relaxes as the ship flies through warp speed
She notices Rhys gripping the wheel visibly shaking
She presses a few buttons and looks back to Rhys
KYRA
You can let go now
Rhys doesn't look at her and continues piloting
She grabs his hands and it takes a moment for Rhys to realise but he quickly looks to Kyra the two stare at each other before they are snapped back to reality and Rhys lets go of the wheel
Rhys coughs as he sits back stroking his hair before laughing
Kyra laughs as well as the two look out into space
For a few moments, no one talks as they sit in silence realising the worst has passed and unsure what to say next
Kyra opens her mouth to speak
KYRA
Thank you erm I appreciate what you're doing and I'm sorry for what happened
RHYS
It's fine, I mean we're alive aren't we
KYRA
Yeah
The two stay silent again, it is getting awkward
RHYS
That was nice work on the warp drive by the way
KYRA
Thanks, you can thank my father for that
RHYS
Really? Was he an engineer?
KYRA
A Mechanic, before I joined the Republic he taught me everything he knew about ships
RHYS
I'm sure once you get home, you'll have a lot of stories for him
KYRA
(Hesitantly) Right
Kyra looks back to Cale who is fast asleep
RHYS
The child sleeps a lot
KYRA
Well being in a Bacta Tank for long periods does that to you
Kyra places his hand on Cale and brushes his hair to the side, Rhys just looks at Cale before looking down
RHYS
I'm sorry about earlier
Kyra snaps to Rhys
KYRA
What?
RHYS
