Problem Solved

Sky and the king walked back to the main cavern. Leia was talking to what looked like a younger silver dragon, with the help of an older black dragon. He must be the translator. Sky thought. They walked up.

"So, how'd it go?" Han asked.

"Well, the king seems fine, except one problem. . ." Sky explained.

Han groaned. Sky thought she saw Leia kick him under the table. Leia looked thoughtful. She turned to the king. "What's the problem?"

Sky opened her mouth to translate, but the black dragon beat her to it. The face she made when he did must have been amusing, because Thondril covered his mouth with his tail to muffle a laugh. The black dragon meanwhile, was telling Leia the problem.

"Well this is easy." Leia said.

Sky blinked. "It is?" she asked in basic.

"It is?" the king repeated in dragon.

"We said the same thing." Sky explained quickly.

Leia nodded. "We have ways to record information, mostly in archives. We can have this recorded so future generations will never forget your . . . hospitalities."

The black dragon looked confused. He turned to Sky and asked in dragon, "What does 'hospitalities' mean?"

Sky translated for him, and he translated for the king. The king nodded, looking pleased. He expanded his wings and Sky gasped. The king had been bigger than her, and his wings were no exception. They were each bigger than he was, it was amazing there was room for him to extend them.

Flicking her gaze to the humans, she saw they looked as shocked. The king flew up to the front of the caver, all eyes followed him. "Attention all dragons! These humans are now are guests! I expect you to treat them well."

Sky gave a soft chuckle. Problem solved. She thought. Rather easily actually.

"What's going on now?" Luke wanted to know.

"We're they're guests. So they don't want to kill us." Sky told him. Then she turned to Han. "Told you I could get us out of this."

Han just gave her a look. He might've said something, but the translator started talking again, in dragon. "I was wondering, what's wrong with your foot?" he flicked his tail at her metal foot.

"I wondered that too." Thondril added.

The silver dragon looked at what they were talking about. "Whoa."

Sky felt somewhere between embarrassed and angry. "Oh I lost my foot. This is a replacement."

"Lost your foot?" Thondril wondered.

At the same time the silver dragon said, "You can get replacements."

Sky shook her head at the ceiling. "I got my foot cut off in a battle with an evil human. And yes, they have the technology to make replacement foots."

The silver dragon made a noise of awe. Then she blinked, seeming to remember something. "They call me Silver by the way. What's your name?"

"I'm Sky."

"Arolas." The translator introduced.

Han waved his hand. "Hey. Still here."

"Oh. Sorry." Arolas apologized. Then the three dragons turned and included the humans and Chewbacca into the conversation.

Since they still needed to look over the ship, it was decided they would stay in the mountain for the night. Sky was planning to stay longer than that, but she was still thinking it through.

Thondril led the humans, Chewbacca, and Sky, though more tunnels. It was darker back and here, and clearly less used. But as Thondril had pointed out, they didn't exactly get many visitors. He breathed some fire into a torch on the wall. "Can you translate for me?" he asked Sky in dragon. Sky nodded. "Thanks." He turned back to all the others. "Leia's sleeping there," he jerked his head and Sky started translating. "Chewbacca there, Sky there, and Luke and Han, I think you're going to have to share."

As soon as Sky translated, Han and Luke looked at each other. But for the life of her, Sky couldn't tell what that look was expressing.

Thondril looked at Sky. "You guys good?"

Sky nodded. "I think so."

"Good." Thondril started walking away. Before he disappeared from sight though, he turned around. "See you tomorrow."

"See you." Sky turned back to the others. Leia looked troubled. Sky changed her mind back to basic. "What is it?" She asked.

"It's just weird. We're really close to Kamino, I'm not sure how much I like it."

Sky almost gagged. Near Kamino? It really is near Kamino!? Luke noticed Sky's face. "Sky, you alright?"

"Yeah. Fine."

"Are you sure?" Luke pried.

"I'm fine." A bit more growl came into her voice as she said it, and her eyes flashed.

Luke swung his hands up in surrender. "Alright, let's just get some sleep."

So everyone went to their selected cavern.

(I'll just let everyone decided for themselves if the dragon who said the dragon planet was near Kamino was really trying to help or setting Sky up.)
