Crix had told his mom, via message, that he was going to be heading out on a field-trip with school to the spaceport a couple of weeks ago and she'd signed the permission slips and such and he was ready to go. At the time he'd wanted to just mess around with some of his classmates and goof off looking at starships and their crews while their teacher failed to control them. Though any teacher who thought they could control forty teens by themselves was either kidding themselves or actively trying to lose some kids.
He was probably high on the list of kids they wanted to actually lose however since he was a bit of an ass in class sometimes. In his defense it was only when the teacher was droning on.
But that had been the old plan.
The new plan had come out in the wash after the explosion at home, the Ranger HQ attack and the run in with the pointy-eared little karker who threw them around with the Force. He'd finally had to put a name to the feeling in his gut and he'd spoken to his friends about it - about how he had the Force. That he was shite-scared about what he was going to actually do with it.
How the Jedi seemed like the less stupid option, for once in their existence.
And the field-trip offered a great chance to get the hell out of dodge.
Lingering at the back of the group as their teacher started a lecture about the logistics that were required to keep the spaceport running smoothly, he glanced to his friends. Namely Enby and Willa first - cus he was sure they were already bored. He gestured with his head for them, and Penny to follow him as he slunk off to one side until hidden from sight of the teacher. They'd agreed with Yo-Cho that they would slink off to the side here around this time so if he was interested he'd be there too.
If he wasn't then he'd have to remember to write to the guy this time.
"Alright I'm gonna make a break for one of the smaller freighters and get outta here." he told them, grip tightening on his backpack with all of his emergency credits and weapons loaded up in it, "Off to be a Jedi or whatever I guess..."
He... he hadn't asked them to come with him.
Honestly he didn't want to risk them saying no and leaving him to face it alone after building up the courage to ask them to join him. So, instead, he just didn't ask. He just kind of lingered in silence for a moment.
