Hera stays silent, at first, eyes low again.

She knows he didn't ask. But it's a loud current, running beneath their words.

"When I was thirteen, they ran this mission to break into an Imperial prison. This was the early years of the Empire, when they were still taking over. But on Ryloth, they didn't waste any time hunting down any dissidents. Orn Free Taa wouldn't complain, and no one else would care."

Her mouth curls into a bitter smile at that, but this fades quickly.

"My mother managed to recruit a Twi'lek working in the prison. It was almost impossible for a group of them to sneak into an Imperial compound, but with unlocked doors and knowledge of the guards' rounds, they managed it. The alarm didn't sound until they were escaping. They made it to the outer fence - it was a stun fence, but they'd deactivated a section of it. My father led the way, climbing up and over it. My mother stayed behind to ensure all the prisoners got out."
