TIME seemed to lose itself in the blankness of hyperspace. Minutes trickled into hours and before Kit could fight it her own exhaustion caught up with her, and she'd fallen asleep in the pilot's chair.
She didn't dream, her own exhaustion made sure of that. A fact which Kit was eternally grateful for. When she finally woke only a few hours had passed, and Kit found herself alone in the cockpit. Cassian was gone, and the rest of their crew — if it could even be called a crew — was in the main hold.
She drifted absently out the door to find the group of stowaways lounging in the hold. Jyn was curled up in the back corner, a distant look in her eyes that Kitra knew herself. Chirrut and Baze were also leaning against the back wall, and Cassian was hovering over the comm-system. But the person that caught her eye first was the Imperial pilot huddled in a heap against the shadowed wall.
He looked almost as bad as Kit felt, his swollen eyes searching the hold like he expected an attack at any second. She knew that Saw had a tendency to torture captives with his creature, Bor Gullet. At one point or another Kit had watched the interrogations, and she recognised the outcome well. Bodhi, the name drifted absently through her mind from the many wanted holo's strung up around Jedha.
He looked at her suddenly, his eyes gaining some clarity when he fixed them on her face. "You're Galen's daughter?" His voice was barely a breath of air, his wild eyes flickering once between the bulkhead behind her and back to her face.
Something caught in Kit's throat at the mention of her father, an old instinct rising up to warn her of his crimes. "You know him?" She asked.
"Yes." The pilot nodded once, shifting and inch closer to her, like he had some big secret to share.
Kit looked over to Cassian, who was too busy working over the comm's with K-2 to notice her or Bodhi, and then lowered herself so she was sitting beside the pilot, who flinched and scooted back into the shadows. She ignored the fear and leaned closer. "I'm listening."
