Kite huffed with annoyance. She was trying to be on her best behaviour, but her nature was prickly. It had to be. She needed a prickly defence to get through her life, and her family. I know that, but they don’t” She muttered, half under her breath the words getting away from her, even though she knew it was the wrong time to be snarky.
Briar moved when she was two but that was so far away! She wanted out, now. despite how frustrating that was, she listened. She was surprised to hear all the ways their family had connected. Maybe she could ask if Beru could train in the Armada for a little while, or vice versa? It added more thought to the fire, so to speak. She kept her silence as she worked through everything Briar had said.
“I guess…” she said as Briar finished. “It’s just… It sounds like a lot of waiting. I want to do things now. Not wait for later, and later, and what if later never comes? What if he doesn't wait for me--” She clamped her mouth shut. Luckily Briar couldn't see her eyes, because they had gone full glare. Dammit! he was supposed to be a secret. She hadn’t meant to let anything slip.
