Ka'den follows the woman at a slight distance, enough to cover all her movements. He notices Sade walking with a limp, but he doesn't help him now. "If this whole thing starts to go to osik, the kid will need to be able to walk on his own. He can handle himself."
The city is impressive, and Ka'den whistles as his eyes follow the towers straight up. As they get closer however, he starts checking the walls for low points, and escape routes. The guards' lack of weapons sends a shiver up his spine. "Force users?" he wonders, then tries to rid the thought from his mind--in case he's right. As they pass through the streets, Ka'den uses the scanners in his helmet to search for any possible threats in the crowd of people. The lack of weapons, complex or simple, baffles him, especially in a city of this size. Every ally and back street he memorizes as possible routes of escape.
As they approach the tower, the situation suddenly becomes quite clear to Ka'den. He hears Sade remark that he can't climb with his ankle in the state that it's in, and Ka'den turns to their guide. "You people don't happen to have a turbolift built into this thing, do you?" he asks in his best Ryl, hoping that the similarities between these people and Twi'leks went beyond the bright skin hues, and he might have found a way to converse semi-effectively. When the woman doesn't respond at first, he tries again in Taunic, and then gives up. Turning to Sade, he says "How do you feel about a roba-back ride?"
