“Oh. She’s not merely planning something. She’s doing something. I don’t know exactly what, but I intend to find out.” Lea was about to say more, but at that moment she felt a sudden twinge of pain her lower back, as if something was wrong there. She winced momentarily, but pulled herself back together quickly. “Its hard to say exactly what any of the Sith are planning. They don’t want us dead, though.”
Just after he had said the stuff about the others, Lea sensed movement from the turbolift. Without even needing to think to react, she spun around, and saw the door open. But there was no Sith within, no troopers. What met her eyes was a half-familiar droid, one she had seen on numerous occasions during her captivity - The Utility droid from whatever deck the mess halls were on. Unlike the previous times however, the droid was fully laden this time around. Back then, it had only been to provide her food, now it was loaded to feed them all.
“Looks like there’s food. Which is a good thing, as that pillow was starting to look tempting…” Lea said with a slight grin, pointing at a pillow on the bed.
“Indeed, let’s just hope the Darth didn’t poison the food with any dark side spices.” Denso said as he returned the grin, he was also very hungry, he was surprised the Sith actually was feeding them. On his previous capture he had barely been fed at all, starvation was its own unique form of torture.
“Dark Side spices? That one’s new…” Lea didn’t wait any longer, as the droid had already put down some of the food. While her balance was still a bit off, she did not run, but she did not walk slowly either as she moved to the tray of food. Between mouthfuls, she answered his obvious question, “Darth Nyiss doesn’t want us starved to death.”
Denso followed Lea, his eyes on the droid as he seemed to inspect it more than the food that it was carrying. Perhaps it could aid in their escape, one of the Jedi hopefully was skilled with machinery. They could grab the droid, then rig it up as a distraction, draw away some of the Sith. He wasn’t focused on an escape plan, instead he reached forward to grasp a piece of fruit which he took a bit out.
“Well, it’s not poisoned.” He said through chewing.
“I told ya, the Sith don’t want us dead.” Lea mumbled as she continued eating, her hunger not really abating significantly despite how much she devoured. As she had come to expect, the food was not only nourishing, but also rather good-tasting. She did not speak further, focusing instead on the food.
After a while she looked over at Denso, “Should we inform the others about the food?”
“That would be the right idea. I’d assume they haven’t eaten in some time either. If we’re to get out of this damn prison then we’re only going to be able to do it on filled stomachs.” Denso replied as he took a few more bites out of the fruit, his hands grabbing for another food item. He would try to only eat his fill.
Lea took a good bite out of a piece of fried nerf, then swallowed quickly before shouting out of the room “THERE’S FOOD!”. Having done what she considered sufficient of a duty, she continued eating. Her body was still demanding more. The food did feel good, like it was just what her body wanted right now. Considering that it was only food it wanted, she did not mind letting it have it.
