Kallex watched the systems carefully on her side, making sure things were in order for their take off. Who knew what was going to fail next. They could fall apart in Chandrila's skies and she would only sigh with minor annoyance. The hunk of metal was barely reliable, but they made it work and unfortunately, she'd grown quite attached to the thing. She looked up at Lil when the other pressed that button, smiling bright, but worrying about their ship's structure. She wondered what it would feel like to pull apart in hyperspace.
She let out a breath she hadn't even realized she'd been holding when the windows filled with the familiar sight. Leaning back, she twisted her chair sideways and stretched. It would be a while before they were out of hyperspace, but already she had a few ideas for ways to pass the time. She hummed quietly in response to Lilian's question, finally looking at her again and tilting her head slightly. Nonchalant, acting as if she were thinking before her smile returned and she shrugged. "I've never seen more than a handful of planets. This gig could get us anywhere in the galaxy. It's a hard thing to pass up, right?" That was a partial truth.
"Scared? No, but I'm hella excited. Some of the things I've read about are incredible. Some of these things... Most of my family, my friends had never even been off of Kuat, let alone ever dreamed of facing these things in-person." And that was the truth, only she only spoke half of it. Really, she was absolutely terrified. She wondered if she'd made a mistake. There was a reason a lot of people were comfortable staying on their planets their entire life. Forgetting the things they would be hunting, there were pirates and scrappers and ...
She blinked, shaking her head once and turning the chair all the way around. It was easier to lie because if she didn't, she'd go on a tangent and then at their next jump she'd force the controls back home. She'd waste all of those credits, all the time, the work they'd done so far. This first trip was a milestone and if she could force herself through that, she was sure she could do anything after it. She just had to steal her nerves and fake it until she made it. Eventually, it would work. She looked at her friend again, "What about you, Lils?"
