WE BLAME THE TICK TOCK, THAT TICKS TO OUR SONG

Lavi waited her out patiently, ear flicking as she looked for ways to argue, to find a point against him.  The Andean wondered how her older brother dealt with her, but decided not to ask.  She did not talk about her family much at all from what he could tell, even though they'd gone out here hoping to do something helpful for them.  Lavi just shook his head and refocused on the sky, already tracking down the constellations he knew, wondering if somewhere, however near or far, Lessa was looking at the same stars.

"We're well ahead, Tena," he pointed out calmly, wishing she'd just slow down.  She was thinking too much. Worrying too much.  It would not surprise him if one of these days she gave herself a panic attack.  Which would do her no good, obviously.  He wished he had some tea.  His former master had always insisted a hot cup of tea was the solution to overthinking.  Lessa'd know just what kind too... Force, he hoped his sister was somewhere on the way back to Snowbound; he was tired of only having her in his thoughts, he wanted to see her for real.

Lavi's eyes flickered as she began to walk back and forth, brows creasing, another sigh escaping his maw as she spoke. Indeed, it was all luck and coincidence he ran into her.  He'd gotten a bit lost, then he'd been searching for his sister, planning on returning, but not before bumping into Tena.  Without hesitation, the Jedi had questioned where she was going and why.  He could have left it well alone; all she wanted to do was visit the place she came from, but something had... Stopped him.  Lavi had sensed she was holding back, and the Force whispered he ought to go with her.  His premonitions had never been clear, but he'd always recognized when the Force was warning him of danger and he saw she was going to be in danger.

He had hoped, perhaps in vain, he could prevent that by coming with her.  Instead, he might have helped it along, he really was not sure.  The Jedi was certain though, if he had not, she could be dead right now and for that reason, he shook his head again, a sad gleam in his eyes.  "Maybe I shouldn't," he agreed quietly.  "But I am, and you've stayed alive thus far."

"I plan on sticking with you, whether or not you like it because I knew you'd need my help." He tried for a smile, uncertain what it'd take to say to her to bring her to his side.  "And I was right. And I still am, because you're gonna kill yourself the way you're going, Tena."

"So how about we just sit for a little bit, breathe, and look at the stars?" You need the kriffing break, come on, Te. "I promise it's not gonna kill us to take a break.  And if someone does catch up, I'll take care of it."
