She didn’t know when she had become a source of comfort for anyone, but that was exactly the case right now. One of the girls she had used as a cover to make a getaway from the attack right up front was clinging to her. At first, Tasha attempted to push her away, but she simply rolled her eyes and held her. The woman was young and completely shaken, shuddering with each breath as she confessed she had been dating one of the guards that had been gunned down. She was broken and thanked Tasha profusely for getting her out of there.
“H-How did you k-keep your cool out there?”
Tasha said nothing for a moment, reaching a hand to wipe the girl’s face off, “I had a rough past,” She muttered quietly. There was no fear in her voice, but her mind was in a million places at once. She could still hear the commotion up front, and her mind kept dipping to the amount of Sith that had appeared. The woman that was gunned down was Sith, and so were the two that bailed right before the Mandalorian showed. There was entirely too much Sith involvement, and she began to wonder how many different aspects of the Lusty Lekku and its operations she didn’t know about. There had been hints and clues about their being much more, an entire network she wasn’t included in. Whatever it was, it involved a ton of Sith.
Tasha barely listened to what the woman said, but she let her cry against her. Her yellow eyes gazed off into the distance, vacant and difficult to read as always. She was seldom one to lose her cool, and this incident hadn’t worried her beyond the realization that she needed to make some decisions of her own. The back room was filled with several panicky girls beyond the one that cried against her. Diamond, Emerald, Jade and Crystal were silently huddled in a corner. They had just come out from being captured, and they were already facing another attack. The trauma on them was beyond anything they could ever recover from. There were no tears left for them.
