He moves so much faster. It's graceful, even, the way he goes up the hill in front of her and she hustles to keep up in a way that it catches her off guard when he slows. She adjusts again, this time matching her walk to his, just slightly behind and to the right, so that she can both watch him and be out of his way.

When he speaks, it's words she's not expecting given their current condition and the battles they've engaged in in the past. She doesn't respond right away, concentrating on keeping her breathing steady until they're outside the cave. Only then does she stop and look at him again fully.

He's tall, dressed in black, and she takes it all in; it's meant to be intimidating and though she's never going to admit it out loud, it works. It's a contrast to his words and she can feel the Force between them, practically vibrating now that they're so close. She has to tilt her head to look up at him, the words he spoke still tumbling around in her head and she has to ask.

"What are your intentions?"

She's quiet, though it's not the breathless she would have been had she asked during their walk.
