Keilara moved quietly through the dim tunnel with the younglings and two Jedi, sticking close to the former. For some reason the small initiates comforted her slightly. Perhaps it was knowing there were still those weaker than her that would need help, or perhaps it was just knowledge that someone was as scared and confused as she was without a clue of where to go next. She wasn't entirely sure, but she allowed their presences to aid in soothing her enough to focus on anything other than the searing pain just above her hip bone. At last they came out in to a chamber where others had gathered.
Thank the skies others have made it, the Vahla sighed to herself, running her hand through thick, red hair. Another Temple Guard seemed to call over to the one that she and the rest of her group had been following, Kraytan apparently. Her blood ran cold as she listened to some of their conversation. Things were bad. Bad all around and to a degree she could have never have imagined. Something was hunting in the Temple. Something horrible that had killed the Temple Master. Now those in questionable condition would be left behind. Keilara forced back the tears that threatened to sting her eyes and bit back her own protest akin to the female Guard's. It wasn't her place. She was there to follow and learn, regardless of what may happen or was happening. She felt a sickening twist in her stomach, but remained outwardly steady.
She looked, then, to recollect herself, to the Anzati and Nautolan younglings. They looked terrified and haunted, their small faces reflecting her own feelings. The Anzati cried quietly. As she waited on orders, she stooped slightly so that her tall frame was more on their levels and she reached and offered a comforting arm to each of them. Softly, she whispered some encouragements, desperately willing herself to believe her own words, "Be strong. We will get through and things will work out. Have faith, alright? Now is the time to be brave and focus on listening carefully to what the Temple Guards ask of us. You have come this far and have done well. You can make it. We can make it. We will find the rest of the Order and regroup in a safe place. You will see."
