She listened to him explaining what he could about her situation. She hadn't realized she was on a collision course with the hospital. Hearing they had destroyed her ship, she wasn't quite sure how to feel. She had nothing else, and she didn't have the credits to replace it.
"it was only a greyhound. I... when they attacked... I'm surprised the ship held together as long as it did."
She nodded slightly, the oxygen. She remembered that was the new alarm. She remembered the feeling of resigning herself to death. The feeling of hopelessness, and having nothing left to fight for.
"The life support had been causing me trouble for quite some time.... I hadn't been able to get it repaired.... But I never expected that to be a problem"
The more he spoke, the more she realised she was lucky to be alive. Even the injuries from the fight wouldn't have been manageable for her. She was surprised to hear that they had indeed resuscitated her twice, again she was thankful it was here she had stumbled across. Anyone else may have left the assumed Rogue to die. As he explained why she may need further surgery, she relaxed a little, it wasn't necessarily a life or death situation. His comment about the rogue lifestyle wasn't wrong, but it was something that she wouldnt admit.
"I wouldn't give the Rogues credit for anything, least of all my survival. They want me dead, and they were offering good money for it. I deserted them and their cause, I am nothing but a traitor. It is never easy to just leave them. The traitor and whoever is hiding them is fair game. If I had died at this hospital.... There is every chance you would have been greatly rewarded....
It wasn't the Rogues, what kept me going was.... What kept me going was the thought that you were still out there, safe. I.... I kept the ring, it was the one thing I refused to sell. It was the only physical thing I had left from you."
She fell silent and looked across at him. Knowing she had said more than she probably should have, but also nervous for her reaction about the Rogues signing her death warrant. She didn't think he would hand her over, she was almost certain of that. She could see he was lost in thought.
