Shiloh nodded at Winter, then the boy - Elias - and gained a couple ounces of courage. She didn't know how she could escape Endor by taking on a whole bunker of Imperials, but talking to people made her shiver. "Shiloh. Your eyes are very interesting. Hothian ancestors?"

Winter smirked. "No, we are Hothians.We escaped. As far as we know, we are the only ones left from the destruction the Empire reigned down on our planet. We are the last survivors…"

There was an awkward pause. Essar spoke up. "My name's Essar and this is H5-164."

Winter looks at Essar, "So now we know your name? Gee thanks. We knew your droid's name before we knew yours… and you did most of the talking… Anyway, it's nice to know your name now…"

"You don't even know her full name or mine."He said, smirking. He turned to Shiloh. "So, I assume you didn't come over just to comment on the glowing eyes."

Elias laughed at Winter's sour expression, and grabs her hand as if to comfort her. Then they both look at Shiloh awaiting a response from her.

"No. From what I could see, you were talking about rebels," Shiloh said, eyeing each of them in turn.

Elias' eyes widen. "How did you know we were talking about rebels?!"

Essar snorted. "Did we say rebels? Why would we? That stuff's dangerous."

Don't get smart. She wished that she had the nerve to say it. "I can read lips," Shiloh said, internally begging them not to ask how she could.

Winter laughed nervously. "Yeah, rebels… they seem really dangerous. Especially during this period of time…"

Essar raised an eyebrow. "Really? I heard that takes some talent."
Hi-5 stepped forward. "So you're a Spy!"

"I'm not a spy," Shiloh protested, trying to keep her voice down. She cast a sharp glare at the droid.

"Why should I believe you?" Hi-5 took another step forward. "Hi-5, seriously, get out of the young lady's face." Essar said. "I raised you better then that."

"I don't need you to defend me," Shiloh snapped, crossing her arms over her chest.

Elias was tense. His gripped on his hilt tightened. He looked over at Shiloh. "So, how do you know how to read lip? Please tell so there won't be any bloodshed. Since you saw us, you have two choices, one join us, or two, you're gonna die. If I was you, I would chooses wisely…"

"Woah, lady, I wasn't. I just don't need Hi-5 getting all up in everyone's face."

Winter gave the droid a sympathetic look.

"I'm not saying I won't join you, but my knowing how to read lips is on a need-to-know basis. And you don't need to know." Shiloh said firmly. Her snappy, impatient side was beginning to come out.

"Calm down kiddo, we're just asking. This isn't an Imperial interrogation so just calm down."

Winter started noticing that the girl was starting to snap. She smiled from underneath her hood. All she needed was for the girl to start losing control over herself, and then Winter could really fight. Elias seemed to notice Winter was starting to get high strung. He could feel her radiating cold. He stopped holding her hand and put his arm around her in a nonchalant way, hoping to disarm her before she go to her weapons first. He hoped Shiloh just thought that he was comforting Winter instead of trying to stop her from blowing up…
