[The hero's journey is another thing Kesara does not know. But she knows rebellions and alliances - mostly as something that needs to be put down for the Queen's peace, but this is an evil empire - and she is quite keen on important princesses. And on smugglers. She is very keen on smugglers. She sits up sharply when Zach mentions this Solo fellow.]

What kind of things does he deal with? Is he secretly in league with the rebels?

[When he tells about the planet being destroyed, her eyes widen, and not in an affected gesture. His gestures are nice, but it's mostly the concept of the whole planet being - well - destroyed. It's difficult for her to imagine, and she doesn't lack imagination. What would that be like, if you happened to live on that planet?]

Do you mean it was - was it made cold and dead, like this town? It can't have just been gone. A planet's a big thing, Zach!
