At his thumbs-up gesture, Aria smiled in return and disappeared off into the cockpit to carry out the necessary landing functions while Yerbol slipped into his 'weird trance' that she could only assume would help him to heal by allowing him to focus more closely on chanelling the Force than when he was awake...or something like that anyways. She tried to shut out most of Yerbol's thoughts to give him some measure of privacy (or at least, as much as they were able to have from one another) while she angled the shuttle's nose downwards and pressed the required buttons on the control panel to deploy the landing gear while the craft made the descent through the planet's atmosphere; but it was hard to ignore the sheer magnitude of the presence that had invaded the young Knight's mind. Aria froze in her seat, her jaw set in place and her fingers in a white-knuckled grip around the control cluster. That voice was so frighteningly familiar she could have sworn that, like Yerbol, her blood had turned cold if that had been physically possible. If the jerking motions of the shuttle settling onto the landing pad didn't jolt her back into reality, the sudden and unexpected contact of Yerbol's hand closing around her shoulder did. Without a sound, she whipped around in her seat to face him, eyes wide, forcing her tensed muscles to relax and not strike out at him out of reflex when she realised it was only him. Their eyes remained locked for a few moments longer before he quickly retracted his hand and looked back towards the shuttle's door. She managed to nod in response to his question, shakily getting to her feet to follow behind him. "Y-Yeah, I heard it." she confirmed, the words sticking in her throat, "I thought I knew that voice..." she shook her head abruptly, Yerbol was right. It was a side effect of being in that temple for so long. "It couldn't have been...they all think we're dead. There's no way he would have known that we gave them the slip." she concluded firmly, as if trying to convince herself of the truth behind the statement. With a nervous chuckle, she mumbled her agreement. "Yeah, if you can get past the fishy undertones it's not too bad. Relaxing, even." she smirked under her breath, careful not to say it too loud to avoid offending any nearby natives. Turning towards the approaching Selkath, Aria half-bowed back at him (her? she never could tell...) and placed the translator unit into her ear, the strange clicking language now processed into clear Galactic Basic that they could understand. She noted with relief that there was no need to produce the passkeys as of yet, he seemed perfectly happy with the data provided by the shuttle's ID code. As expected, the Selkath eyed the weapons at their belts dubiously and spouted a warning that they would be arrested for any actions of violence within the city. "We promise we're not here to cause trouble, we'll just be attending the meeting and then be on our way again." she re-iterated, falling into step with Yerbol as they followed the given directions to make their way to the Republic embassy building. With the building visible in the distance, Aria slowed her pace so they could discuss their plan a little further while they were out of earshot of any potential adversaries. "It'd be a good idea to try and figure out a layout, for one...unless you happen to have a map or floor plan of the place stashed away in a pocket that you're not telling me about?" she tried, smirking in amusement. "We also need to know numbers, how many troopers with blasters especially, cause if we get caught they're the ones that are gonna be coming after us." Pausing again when they were about a block or so away from the embassy building, Aria's eyes narrowed thoughtfully before her hand shot out to bring Yerbol to a stop. Motioning down an adjacent alleyway, she whispered. "That's pretty close to the main entrance, probably give us the best view of inside from the front, unless they tint the windows in which case...we're gonna have to sneak in the back way and find a terminal where we can access a floorplan of some kind."
