Khabal sat on top of his ship, meditating. His senses were stretched out taking in the universe around him. His ship looked like a deep black shadow beneath him.

It was a stupid idea, right? Well, she had had plenty of those before and survived to tel the tale, so this couldn’t be that much worse.

Stepping into the bay, she found her quarry and tilted her head as she studied him from behind. Moving with quiet (but not silent) steps, Calloway came to stand so she was facing him as she gazed up at Khabal. She didn’t want to disturb his peace but she wasn’t sure what to do here. What was the right answer? The hell if she knew. And wasn’t that a part of the whole problem? If their suspicions were correct, then there were explanations, but that didn’t help her now as she tried to figure out to to navigate this complicated social situation.

“How may I be of assistance Commander?” Khabal asked.

Khabal’s facial expression was calm like someone who had just woken up from a really good nap but his eyes had a gaze that looked like they had seen indescribable ancient things.

Faye shifted her stance, trying to steady the nervous energy in her body. “We… should talk. I can come up there if you’d like, or you can come down here. I… want to explain about the other day on the asteroid.” It was such a shift and in this moment she could acknowledge just how much she had grown. It didn’t make any of this easier, but she could admit that the Faye Calloway standing here now was going to handle this much better than she might have in the past.

Khabal smiled warmly.

“If you want to come up here, I can come down and lift you as there isn’t really any way to get up here without jumping from above, a ladder, or shadow gating. Well, maybe a site to site transport. Oh, and don’t touch the leading edge of the ship, it’s very sharp.”

Khabal could sense Faye’s tension and didn’t want to spook her.

Faye was ever the impulsive venturer, but this situation required trust, something she did not have for this person, but was trying to find a modicum of for her own sake. “Understood,” she said as she moved around the side of the ship and found one place to step up to so she was off the ground. She reached her hand up so her could pull her up, all the while she yoga came in handy as she stabilized her core and prepared to climb up as if this were a rock wall.

Khabal laid down on the hull and stretched down to assisted Faye up onto the ship. His grip was firm and he seemed to have little issue with her weight as he helped her up. Once standing on the ship, she could see that it reflected no light at all, a deep pure formless black.

“This way.” Khabal said returning to the place he was sitting while pointing to a spot Faye was approaching, “Watch your toes, there’s a slight rise there.”
