Aurora was handed her bo staff and Cere's gun just incase anything got hectic. The two of them had tried opening some doors but they were locked from the other side. So they decided to try and find a way around. Which led them to standing in front of a pipe, Cal was able to easily make it across but Aurora didn't move.

Cal hadn't notice she wasn't moving until BD beeped at her. "Yeah, I'm coming." She stated gently causing Cal to turn to her. She slowly made her way over to Cal and was relieved when she made it back onto solid ground. Cal looked at her and noticed her eyes widened, Cal looked at her confused and then turned to see what was behind him.

     Two creatures messing around with a dead stormtrooper. Cal moved towards them since the creatures were in their path. Aurora was quick to follow but made sure to stay behind him. Cal turned his light saber on and attacked at the creatures. Soon it seemed like they were all gone and Cal looked back to check up on Aurora.

     Aurora felt the ground near her crumble slightly and soon she heard a screech, she was quick to blocked the attack from the creature and quickly pulled out the gun and shot it. The creature dropped and didn't move just like the ones Cal finished off.

      Aurora's eyes widened slightly at her actions. "Cere wasn't joking when she said you were good." Cal stated and he noticed she had a terrified expression in her face but she was quick to change it.

     "I've not been in the field for awhile so it might take me a second to get back into....my old h-habits." She stuttered at the end. "I'm assuming there is more to you then what appears on the outside." Cal stated as Aurora moved closer to him. He was curious as to what she was hiding.

     "Yeah well I don't know much about you either. Maybe we should get to know each other, especially since we now have to watch each other's back." She suggested towards him and they continued to walk. "Sounds good." Cal mumbled.

     "You can ask a question first." Aurora informed him. He looked at her and nodded his head, thinking for a moment. "How long have you been with Greez and Cere?" He asked her. She shrugged slightly "A few months at the most, haven't been with them for long." She answered soon speaking again. "Why were you on Bracca?"

      "It was an easy place to lay low after the purge." He stated truthfully. "Where were you when that all happened?" He asked her, trying to start the questions slow.

      "I was on my home planet, Antaeus. I can't remember much from my time there but I do remember my parents both passing soon after it all happened." She spoke softly and heard BD beep sadly. "What about you?" She asked him.

     "I was training with my master." Cal stated not wanting to go into depth about it. "You keep saying you can't remember, why is that?" He questioned her.

     "I only remember the last few years of life because soon after my parents died my Uncle came into power...He wasn't the best ruler. Cere and Greez found me in the streets of my kingdom being attack by the people." She stopped for a second causing Cal to stop and look at her.

     "They didn't see me as one of them. A person suffering from the loss of the king and queen but instead as someone who became a puppet. They rioted and found me. Took their anger out on me. Hit my head so damn hard on the ground I didn't know where I was or who I was." She said and sighed slightly.

      "Luckily Cere helped me remember but everything before these last 6 years are a blur." She finished and began walking again.

     BD beeped sadly again and Cal looked at the droid. He then went after Aurora and caught up with her. "You said king and queen?" He questioned her again. "Yeah, that's why Greez calls me princess. I don't like it though since it's a life I can only remember a small amount of." She said a small hint of sadness in her voice and Cal noticed.
