Trace watched the exchange between Ryosuke and the Twi’lek with interest. Though it was the duty of all jedi to care for others and put their needs before their own, Trace could tell that there was something more personal going on here. Still, it wasn’t the time or place to butt into Ryosuke’s business so she simply waited patiently for he and the boy to finish. When the child had safely hidden away in the back of the hut, Ryosuke turned his attention to the business at hand. Trace nodded solemnly in response to his comment and followed him out of the dead woman’s dwelling.

Just as she stepped outside, her comlink went off once again. Thumbing it on, the hair on the back of her neck rose when Master Kallar told her that the dark presence he had been feeling was in fact right on top of them. She had been so focused on Ryosuke’s request that she hadn’t been concentrating on her surroundings. His voice cut out before he could finish his sentence and Trace wasted no time clicking her calming into her belt while simultaneously summoning her lightsaber into her hand. She didn’t ignite it yet however, instead she reached out with the force to locate the disturbance her master had mentioned.
