(The wavering sound of her name makes her head jerk up, and her eyes dart for a moment before she spots him, and immediately breaks out into a rare grin.)

Taako– (She gets to her feet, pushing her plate and book aside and rushes over to throw her arms around him. Neither of them are people who typically hug, but the moment feels right, and Lucretia doesn't know how else to express the colossal relief flooding through her. Somebody is here. She isn't alone, after all. And Taako will know where the rest of them are, surely.

She gives him a final squeeze around the shoulders before she releases him, glancing behind him automatically for Lup. But Lup isn't there. Maybe they all got split up, and she's the first one he's found.)

I'm so glad– where are the others? Taako, I don't understand this cycle at all, it's completely different. Why didn't we come in on the ship? Why did– what's wrong?

(She's finally noticed the way that he's looking at her, eyes wide. And now that she actually looks at him he seems... different, some how, in a way she can't quite put her finger on. She leans back, uncertainly.)
