Ja'vi - Show and Tell?
Behind her set jaw, there was a sense of worry that lingered in the corner of her mind. Was this woman going to report her or not? Instead of hated and suspicion that she thought would be there, the Twi'lek was met with something else entirely; something that she didn't expect.
There was curiosity.
Whether or not it was genuine was another matter, but the woman wanted to see something that she had kept hidden from so many. Yet with her inquiry came a slight, weary smile from Ja'vi. It wasn't as if she had a choice now in this moment, she had to take the chance with this woman. Otherwise, the consequences could even be more dire.
Reaching into her loose-fitting robes, she retrieved the long, slender device. Carefully, she set it into Saleen's outstretched hand for her to inspect it.
"It isn't a full-fledged saber." The former youngling softly stated, looking upward at the behemoth of a human woman. "It was only a training saber from my days as an initiate, nothing more. Even still, it's dysfunctional and broken. With a new gem I could make an actual Lightsaber...but that is proving to be a task beyond my ability."
Once Saleen had held it long enough to make the Twi'lek nervous, she lightly plucked it away from the grasp of the human and tucked it back away beneath her clothing.
"It...it doesn't matter. I'm simply here to help the rebellion as best as I can. That is all that matters. Shall we move on?" Motioning for the human to follow, she gracefully strode through the corridors of the Intruder to arrive at the ship's armory. There, she would scavenge through the last of the spare parts that had been retrieved.
More particularly, a newer battery for her blaster pistol. She had never been a fan of rifles or heavier weapons. Too heavy, too cumbersome, and too showy. She preferred subtlety for a reason, after all. Blades rather than blasters, even her pistol was more of a last support.
If only she could find a smaller, compact power source for her other work in progress...
