"Sure," Shiloh agreed, sitting down at the table.

(Aw shoot I gtg :(
"Alrighty." Essar searched the small fridge and pulled out a small jug of blue milk. "Aha!" He searched about and found a clean cup. He poured and handed the glass to Shiloh.

Shiloh took it gratefully and sipped. She held the glass in one hand and toyed with her lekku with the other.

(Bye bye!)

Winter looked down on the sleeping form of her old friend. She almost couldn't comprehend that Estelle was her best friend. It felt as if a lifetime had passed. Winter ran her hand through her hair. She muttered, "I don't believe this… After all these years, I thought that she was dead. I was plagued by nightmares, and unbeknownst to me she was still alive. The Force works in mysterious ways. Ways I just don't understand…" Winter sighed. Elias walked out of the cockpit, and let Essar and Shiloh walk past him, as he made his way back to Winter. He came to the girl's bunk room, and heard Winter mumble to herself. He quietly knocked. "Everything ok in here?" He whispered. Winter walked out and buried her head in his chest. "No, Not really. After all these years, the person I missed the most, is here, but she doesn't remember how she once was. I may have taken on a challenge bigger than myself here. How am I going to bring some part of her old self back? I just don't understand the Force right now… I feel it, but it doesn't feel like it should. It doesn't feel right. Kinda like it's jaded. I thought that I wouldn't be as strong facing Estelle as I was, I thought that I would break down, and shatter, like falling ice. But, I was strong, and I don't know how… Please, if you understand, I need your help. You are from Hoth like I am, and you know how it was. She doesn't know herself anymore, and I can't show her everything in my head… It would tale a lifetime to understand, and explore… Will you help me, help Estelle? Without help, I would completely break under the strain. Please?" Elias sighed. "Yes, I'll help, to the best of my ability, but I don't know where to start, and you don't know either…" He ruffled Winter's hair, and hugged her once more before he went back to his bunk.

Essar poured himself a glass. "So… any ideas where we should go now Shiloh? We still need a base planet."

Elias was walking through the bay area where he heard Essar and Shiloh talking. He stopped. "We should go to a planet in the outer rim. The Empire has little to no control out there because it's mainly run by gangsters. There are tons of planets to choose from. Take your pick. Places to disappear, places to hide… You know… "

Essar nodded. "Want some blue milk Elias?"

Elias shrugged, "Why not? Gotta be be better than Taun-Taun milk…"

Essar nodded and rummaged around for another glass. "How're Winter and Estelle doing?"

Elias nodded, "Winter is fine, I guess, and Estelle is asleep." Just as Elias finished, Winter walked in, looking tired. She didn't notice Essar or Shiloh, she just collapsed in the nearest chair, and put her head in her hands. Elias tapped her on her shoulder. "You need to go to sleep Winter. You used a lot of your energy today…" She mumbled, "I'm 100 percent fine. I don't need sleep…" Elias rolled his eyes. "Essar, can you get one more glass of milk? Or better yet, some caf for Winter? She may need it…"

"Yup." Essar rummaged around some more and found a clean enough mug and filled it with caf leftover from earlier. "Here ya go."

Shiloh tilted her head back and closed her eyes. She sighed, quiet and tired.

(Thanks Camie.)
Winter looked at Essar and took the caf gratefully. So, what planet are we planning to use for our home base? Anything in the outer rim will do."

"Eeeeeeehhh…" Essar paused, running a hand through his blue hair. "There is one planet I was doing reconnaissance on a while back while I was still in the Alliance." Essar laid out further details.
(I gtg :( See ya later!)

Winter nodded. "I think that planet might work. It's out of the way, and not to unbearably hot. I think Elias and I can manage…"

Estelle's dream took her back to the night when she got taken.
She woke up I'm a cold sweat, shaking and screaming for Winter to run.

Winter heard Estelle screaming. She jumped up, and blotted back to the bunk room with Elias hot on her heels. Winter threw the door open. She slid over to Estelle's bunk. " Estelle! I'm here! I'm ok! Everything is ok! No one is in any danger. Shhhhh… Everybody is fine. You're ok. I'm here. Relax." Winter sat and held Estelle's hands, hoping it would calm her down.

Estelle was frantic. Her breathing was quick and ragged. "I- You-" At Winter's touch, she began to calm down a little more, but her eyes were still huge.

Essar poked his head in. "Anything I can do to help?"

Shiloh trailed behind Essar. She'd jumped when Estelle screamed, but hadn't been as quick to react as Winter, Elias, or Essar.

Winter sighed. "No Essar, I don't think there is anything you can do to help." Winter looked back at Estelle. "It was just a dream. Don't worry. I had those nightmares too… I learned to phase them out. I locked feelings and emotions up, but that wasn't good. It made me unstable. You need to let people know how you are. I needed that, but I didn't get it. I'm here, and I'll help you through. But, here is one thing you need to know, don't be afraid of sleep like I was. Brave it."

"You… They were going to kill you." Estelle's vision was slightly blurred with tears.
