Arla climbed back aboard the speeder and started off down the street again when she heard a voice echoing inside her head. She was no particular fan of telepathy for small interactions and tapped at her comlink for a moment, opening a line to Celeste to respond.
I have many reasons, she said, but before she continued, she recalled something Vahliri said about keeping a close eye on her. Like she wasn't to be trusted. Before she answered further, Arla realized she needed answers. Answers she'd planned to get before they came out here, but now was as good a time as any.
Why were you demoted? she asked in her typical, hilariously direct manner. There was no easing into it or gentle change of topic. It was why she was so terrible at diplomacy but so good at accomplishing her goals: she was excessively direct and stubborn, when her mind was set on something it was almost impossible to derail her.
