Xid was breathing hard. His lungs brushed his ribs and made him flinch, his fingers digging into the side of the wall as he tried not to scream. The Knight pressed his tongue deeper into his cheek to stifle the sound farther, not willing to give the Sith the satisfaction of hearing him, while his eyes tightened into determination. His foot pressed on and hasten his pace,  but soon, far too late, he realized what a mistake he had made. The sole skirted forward with a slight squeak, knocking him off balance. His arm braced and expected to hit the floor before something, or rather someone, stopped him.    

It was a young Echani prisoner, a boy who was no older than his early teens, who had slipped under his small frame and was now currently propping him upright. It had to be someone’s padawan Xid thought. His gut twisted at the thought of someone so young going through this nightmare as he huffed a bit, his breath still rasping. It was hard not to flinch when his ribs touched the boy’s side, more pain tingling at his focus and threatening to make him pass out. Xid hated himself for not being able to tolerate the physical pain. It was a weakness, one he knew nearly stopped him from becoming a Knight, and he couldn’t change. At least, not naturally.   

Inhaling slowly to clear his mind, Xid gave a weak smile despite his skin being rather pale. Thankfully, the Echani was very good at keeping step, likely due to their culture, as both of them were moving toward the showers. When the child popped off several questions, Xid blinked while he tried to absorb all the Padawan’s questions. Slowly, the Knight’s smile widened and he spoke in hushed tones. “First off: Thank you. To answer your questions: No, I’m not aiming to escape and yes I already took a shower. However the shower are least watched and I want to show everyone how to escape the prison without needing to slice the controls. This way we can explore and maybe discover a way out before we do.”
 
He took a breath then continued, his voice was a  little concerned over the fact the boy found a convenient lightsaber. Even if it was a training one and right in reach, his mind was hoping it was one of the Jedi who has managed to get it and not a Sith trap. “How did you find, and do you know where it came from? And yes, it would help but only during the escape. I can likely modify it enough to be more effective at least.”
