WE BLAME THE TICK TOCK, THAT TICKS TO OUR SONG

Lavi imagined trying to convince the sand cat to take a break would not go very far in his favor.  He was realizing that Tena was perhaps someone to push until the last moment, until there was not anything more to be done, or could be.  Whether it was others, or, more noticably, herself.  The Andean mountain cat was not sure he could keep up with her fierce stubbornness.  Lavi knew they needed to stop, rest more efficently than they had thus far, then keep moving.

He wanted out of the desert just as badly as she did.

He could never understand the weight of chains around his paws, but he understood the drive to leave.  To escape the very atmosphere of such a place.  He understood it hurt because the mission had failed.  She had not found who she was looking for, and she had not broken out any of her friends.  Perhaps, the young Jedi mused, she was pushing herself to the brink because she did not want to think.  Because she wanted to avoid it.

He could not hold back his weary sigh anymore, turning his amber eyes sharply on the exhausted feline before him.  "Te," he pressed gently, pushing forward to catch up and stood beside her.  "Te we should take a break." He could foresee her arguing from a mile away but decided to move now and not to give her the actual opportunity to.

With a flick of his ear, he bounded towards a nearby rocky overhang and plopped down on the sandrock, waiting expecantly for her to follow.

At night, the desert was actually quite beautiful.  Lavi inlined his head towards the stars thoughtfully.  "No use in pushing ourselves to complete exhaustion; we'll die before we make it back.  It's okay to actually get some rest." He advised, setting his tail neatly over his paws.  "We're gonna make it out of here, Te, okay?  Just... Don't waste all your waking energy till you drop.  I don't want to have to carry you back to Snowbound." Lavi offered a small smile, hoping that his words could do something to relax her.  "Besides, the stars are really pretty tonight, don't you think?"
