Since their arrival, rain had been a nearly constant presence, drumming endlessly on the metal hull of the stolen shuttle, trapping them within it until Kylo felt as if the echo might never leave him. And just as invasive as the sound was the heavy, humid air that left a lingering dampness on everything no matter how many times he fiddled with the environmental controls. His fingers drew idle shapes through the condensation that fogged the transparisteel viewport, tracing the grayish horizon with abstract spirals.
It was daybreak on the planet, which meant very little when the skies overhead were always clogged by thick stormclouds, but as he stared out, the marshlands around them were illuminated by degrees. He was almost startled to realize that the downpour had temporarily ceased, and blissful quiet filled the cabin for the first time in days. They had not chosen Daluuj for its scenery, but in the growing morning light, he found that even the wet, muddy valley could sparkle.
Rey would enjoy this, he thought, unmoving from his place in the copilot’s chair, and as if summoned by his silent musing, he heard the soft rustle of movement in the main hold.
