"I still don't see any sign of her," Padmé said worriedly. They had searched the entire outside of the building and had begun working their way into the interior, although they still had yet to entire the inside.
"Why don't you look inside and ask around to find out if anyone saw her. I'll start looking on the streets," Anakin said, trying to ignore the fear that was beginning to grip him. If Luna had gotten lost or hurt or on the wrong planet or in the wrong time period, it was going to be all his fault. He had been the one to suggest that she should come along. He had been the one that brought her with them to Bespin.
"Okay," Padmé said, nodding as she tried to stay calm. Anakin had suggested she go inside to rest at first, under the guise of possibly checking security footage, but Padmé had insisted that she helped him search outside.
He turned to leave, before something on an otherwise plain pillar caught his eye.
"What's that?" Anakin asked himself, quickly going over to the drawing, relief surging in his chest as he recognized the symbol.
"Is that...." Padmé began looking at the symbol.
"The Rebellion's Starbird," Anakin said, smiling. "She's here." He looked at the arrow under the symbol before looking down the hallway. There was another Starbird on another piller not far away, and third after it. "It's a trail."
"What did she even use?"Padmé asked herself, rubbing at the symbol. To their surprise, it rubbed off easily.
"It's erasable," Anakin said, noting the obvious. "Smart. Easy to make, easy to cover up."
"And lucky, I don't want to know how anyone would react to vandalism," Padmé said as she rubbed off the rest of the symbol with her sleeve.
"Let's go."
