Aravis POV
During the council meeting, which, no matter how much I didnt want it to, did come, I was scared to death the entire time that the Council would either sense my tension or sense the invisible forcefield I had put around myself to keep them from sensing the tension. Which would have kindave defeated the purpose of it in the first place, but I needed to try the invisible forcefield thing out anyway considering the fact that it was a power I had rarely used. Fortunately, I did not have to remove it much, only to answer the few questions that were directed at Nimowae and I.
When it seemed that Qui-Gon was finished, I headed torward the door a little too quickly and was almost there when I heard Yoda address Qui-Gon again. I thought 'Dammit.' I almost couldnt bring myself to turn back around to endure the rest of the meeting and it only got worse when I realized who was standing beside me.
Nimowaes POV
Aravis headed torward the door almost as fast as I had ever seen her go, and so did my brother, so there was nothing I could do to keep them from ending up beside of each other. It felt like hearing nails on a chalkboard watching them look at each other, not with hate, really not with any particular emotion, so nails on a chalkboard is the only way I could describe it.
I watched as she gave me an uneasy look like 'how did this happen?' and it took all of my remaining restraint to keep from shrugging my shoulders and mouthing 'sorry!' When we were finally excused, I was the one who bolted for the door this time.
