“Maybe temperature resistance? Or fighting in colder temps?” (setting up the idea lol ;-; Lord helpme)

Elias shrugged. Well for temperature resistance, you should start by not wearing sleeves on our ship. You'll start adjusting over time. and soon, you'll be comfortable on our ship."

Hiro nodded and went to take his sweatshirt off and change it out for a tee “ like this?” he asked

Elias smiled.
“That works. Soon enough you’re going to be comfortable in shorts and a t shirt.”
Winter laughed.
“As long as you don’t become like Frost and decide to streak across the ship naked, you’ll be completely fine!”

Hiro laughed “I wouldn't dream of it.” he said softly. “So, other the. Waiting, what's on the schedule”

Winter carried Frost on her hip as she went to go check the cockpit.
“There’s not much we do in space. We just chill. Currently, we are a little bit more on edge. We ran into an Imperial cell and we did some good damage, but we’re anticipating that they’ve followed us. I’ve put cloaking on us, but they’ll probably find us sooner or later. We hit hyperspace, but once again that doesn’t mean anything. We’re about two hours from Coruscant. Which is great, it means we’re entering republic territory, but that didn’t stop the Empire cell from chasing us last time.”

“So basically get ready for a fight?” he asked, starting to pace. (are you wanting to time skip, or add a fight?)

Elias put his hand on Hiro’s shoulder.
“I wouldn’t say get ready. I’d say be prepared. They weren’t tracking us through hyperspace. So we should be fine right now. But one could never be too careful.”
(We’re gonna say no to the fight right now, I have a plan.)

(okay? Go on..) hiro nodded, titling his head

(Think ambush on Coruscant. On the Prince of Artorias’ life. Gotta bring him into play somehow 😉)
Winter ran her hands through her hair.
“Stars. I am not ready to answer anyone’s questions or look nice for people who think I’m weird. Correction. Who think we’re weird. Honestly those inner worlds never realize the struggle of those in the outer rim. We’re not all wealthy. On Coruscant, we fight for the planets in the outer rim. The outer rim planets love it. The inner rim planets do not. So when we go to Coruscant, we always leave someone mad.”

“ sounds like fun” the teen said sarcastically (and hiro protects him!?)

(Ding ding ding! We have a winner 😊 for the time being Hiro’s aggressive training with Winter is gonna pay off bc he blows past Finn saber skill wise and Winter is gonna gloat at Luke and be like lol I told u so)
Elias rolled his eyes.
“You’re telling me. The problem is everyone loves going after her bc she’s a ‘small weak woman’ and avoid me bc I’m apparently a ‘snow demon’ when in reality I’m probably the small weak woman and Win here is the demon and we can forget the snow. She’s straight up feral. Stars help them if she finds out they messed with Frost. One time, the son of a senator from Coruscant locked Frost in a broom closet for hours and Win was panicking trying to find Frost. Once she found him, and he told her who did it, she marched right to their room, in the middle of them having dinner, dropped the temperature so fast the windows cracked, and yelled at the senator for raising his son to be a bully. It was terrifying. The kid was mortified. He confessed to everything and his mother was mortified of her husband and son. She sent an apology gift so fast. It was amazing. Now Win and the senator’s wife are on fantastic terms. They shared recipes now.”
Winter stretched.
“And I would do it all again. I’m just waiting for someone to try something. If anyone messes with Frost, or you, Hiro, for that matter, they will know what cold feels like.”

Hiro chuckled softly “ thanks mom,” he said before walking off to go practice what hed say to the senators

Winter rolled her eyes.
Teens. Gotta love them.
She went and sat down in her chair in the cockpit. She looked at the stars racing by.
Elias walked in.
“You thinking of something?”
Winter turned towards Elias.
“Yes. What you said earlier about another kid. Are you sure? We both know the Pantorans want to go to war on Artorias. And if I somehow end up expecting another kid, you’re going to have some struggles and hard decisions.”
Elias shrugged his shoulders.
“We did it once didn’t we? Frost was not born during a time of peace. He was born during the war for Coruscant. That was chaotic.”
Winter laughed.
“I guess you’re right. But the enemies on Coruscant were for the most part, human. These are not, and the give the Artorian warriors a run for their money. It’s more dangerous. But I do know one thing. No one would ever be able to take Hoth. Everything is too cold to even work there. The only thing that works is this ship, that the Pantorans had to custom build, off of designs and materials that we had to recommend. So home is always safe for us.”
Elias nodded.
“Home is always safe for us.”

(Oki, here goes my best shot) hiro sat in his room for a moment, the thought of ever talking to anyone like him was scarily traumatic.
Hiro could feel his chest a pike with pain, his breathing heavily taxing his body.

Soon the flash backs begin. It was a cold planet. Not quite like both but in the outer rings of the empire. Troopers were everywhere, gathering up hidden rebels. Hiro now was small, thin, and agile. Now he was just barely eight and his birthday was only a few hours away.
Hiro was born in what was called the collide. The planet had two moons and once every two years the moons would aline give a few extra hours of moonlight. So in the sense, hiro was much older than most, he stayed loyal to his birthday and stayed with his older friends.

Now he watched as his parents were dragged onto the stage for everyone to see, their family saber held in a stormtrooper's hand. “Mom!” hiro yelled, looking up at a woman with a blurred face.
“MOM!” hiro yelled again, but this time hed yelled it in the real world as well. His body had slouched against the wall and floor of the ship, his body shaking from reliving the moments. He was surrounded by a black cloud. Almost like a house fire smoke.
Back in hiros mind, he could see the moments his parents died, the saber's beautiful blue shifting to a evil black as his parent's heads rushed to meet the ground.
After that, everything was a rush, a twe’lk (?)friend of his mother had scooped hiro up, running away crowd. The young boy could see her husband running to grab the forgotten saver of his parents.

“Dayalin! Don't look back kid!” the woman said, covering his eyes.
After that, the memory fades, leaving him in sobbing tears on the ship.

Winter and Elias heard Hiro yell. What set Winter into action is that he yelled Mom. Even though she had met this young boy earlier, and didn't know much about him, that word stirred her to action. She quickly made sure the ship was on auto pilot, and she vaulted over her cockpit chair and took off running towards the sound of Hiro's voice. Elias bolted after his wife. Winter was frantic when she rounded the corner and saw a dark cloud. She held her hand out and began to walk through it.
"Hiro! I'm coming. Are you alright?"

Hiro didn't answer, his mind deepset into a panic attack. “Stop, stop make them stop!” he yelped, holding his head as his body only shook more

Elias pushed past Winter and wrapped his arms around Hiro.
"It's alright kid. We gotcha. What's going on? You're acting as if you've had a nightmare."

“I- the visions.. The past.. Everything is loud..” he spoke, strain in his voice to not cry.

Elias squeezed the boy tighter.
"It's okay. Frost gets overwhelmed too. Would you like to tell us about it?"

“No.. It.. It might make them come back..” he said softly, holding tightly to Elias
