It's a deep, deep forest filled to the brim with fungi, mysterious life forms, and pitch black darkness. Explore if you dare and discover all these things and more! Just don't get lost...

[The constant bleak and rainy climate on Arkanis had made it almost impossible to go outside most days. Glimpses of sunlight were rare so Armitage couldn't stop himself from peering up at the sun peeking out from between the trees with wonder for a few moments. It was bright and he had to blink a few times to get the spots out of his vision as he looked up at Barriss.]

Are we going far into the forest? [This time he dared to venture ahead of her, peering around with curosity. He wouldn't argue with her instructions though, aware of how far she was from him as they entered the forest.]

No, that would not be safe.

[ she gestures ahead of them. although it's still early in the day, there's already a difference in lighting even a few steps into the forest. come sun down, it would be almost impossible to navigate without a light source. barriss is going to keep that in mind.

You see that there's a little bit of a natural path here. We'll stay within sight of it so that we can find our way back easily.

Why? Are there bad things here? [Armitage jumped slightly when a bug flew near his face, swatting at it so it didn't come near. He wasn't used to wildlife and bugs after spending so much time inside.

But that didn't deter him from running ahead of her slightly, excited.]

We don't know, so we're going to have to assume that they're are. [ maybe that's a little too... paranoid from a jedi, but it seems right in line with imperial ideology as she knows it, so he probably won't notice. ]

The most important part of exploration is being prepared for anything.

[It was what his nanabot and DeeDee had always told him so he didn't question it.

He had been taught to expect the worst so as to never be taken by surprise. Many of his lessons were about Imperial officers who failed because they had gotten overly arrogant.]


I'll be careful! [He promises but nearly tripped on a tree root in his excitement to run ahead. Thankfully he managed to catch himself, barely pausing.]

[ careful. right.

barriss opens her mouth to say something about the tripping, then shuts it again as hux rights himself. younglings at the temple are always more durable than they look and she has to assume that that holds true for children everywhere. hux will be okay. probably. for now, she'll just watch him carefully, trailing along after him but not interfering as he explores. it's a forest unlike any she's ever been in before, so if she can ignore the feeling of being watched, she might be able to enjoy exploring, too. ]

[He's never been allowed to run around like this before, it's a strange new thing but he liked it.

He stopped suddenly when a bit of sunlight peeped through the trees. For someone who had lived in the midst of storms and rain this little bit of sunlight was incredible. It was the most sun he had seen all his life.

And if Barriss from Arkanis, then he knew she would appreciate it.]


Look! [He pointed excitedly, smiling.] It's sunny!
ontrial: (another pleasant day left for dead)

[personal profile] ontrial 2016-10-26 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
That it is. [ pity isn't something she feels often, because it's not productive as far as compassion goes, but she can't help but feel it now. if sunlight is this exciting to hux, she really does feel bad for his upbringing.

even if it does explain a lot. ]


Quite a difference from Arkanis, isn't it?

[personal profile] therewillbeorder 2016-10-26 01:32 am (UTC)(link)
Uh huh! [He doesn't realize what being in the sun entails, smiling brightly. He's just happy to be out in the sun and fresh air. He can run around without being scolded or told to act properly.

He ran ahead again but this time he was distracted by the sunlight so wasn't watching for the tree root that sent him down, causing him to get a cut on his chin.

Which really hurt. Once the surprise wore off and he felt the pain.

He tried not to tear up, he knew it was unbefitting of a future Imperial officer but he couldn't stop it.]
