Ash watched Lintar and sat up. “How’d you get here?”
One on one (closed stalkers welcome)
"I was here for the last 10 minutes."
Ash laughed a little. “No I meant here on this planet.”
Lintar shrugged, "I'm not even sure what it's called."
“What do you mean? This planet?”
"How they sent me here." Lintar looked played absentminded with a pen, "Sometimes, I swear it's magic. I'm not even from this system, you know."
“Oh..guess we’re both confused about life.” She smiled a bit.
"Where are you from, anyway?"
“The east side of the big continent on Calmani. How bout you?”
"Hmm…I don't really know. I grew up on Calmani though."
"How do you not know where you lived?"
"According to my uncle, who isn't a very reliable source of information, my parents died a few days after my birth and they send me straight to Calmani," they shrugged, "Maybe my uncle just never bothered to tell me where I was born?"
"Oh, I didn't know your parents died, I'm sorry."
"I, in fact, don't know either. My uncle lies a lot."
"So they could be alive?"
"Yeah…I guess."
"Well don't you want to go back and look for them?"
"Where? This galaxy is so big."
"Well it's gotta be somewhere close to Calmani right?"
"Not necessarily."
"Oh..well, I'm sorry. I wish I could help."
"Maybe…If we can somehow get a ship…"
"If we became pilots…"
"I can fly one well enough. My uncle taught me how to fly a ship before teaching me to read."
"But we could get jobs, become trusted. Then take the ships and get out of here."
"Or we can just get the ship."
"They'd catch us. They're probably watching us right now." She glanced around.
"Why should they bother?"
"Cause it's their ships." She sighed.
"Not if there is enough trouble on the ground. Besides, who said it had to be their ship."
