The sun above BB-1 never truly dimmed.
It merely changed color.
Golden blue during the day, violet-orange during dusk, and a shimmering silver when night fell.
For once, Zain let himself relax.
Their first stop was a floating dessert bar suspended over a crystal-clear lake.
Zelia ordered glowing ice cream shaped like flowers.
Zain tried something called a "plasma swirl cake" that sparked lightly on his tongue.
Savra drank something cold and black with a suspiciously bitter scent.
"I don't know how you eat that," Zelia said, licking her spoon.
Savra didn't blink. "I'm used to poison testing."
Zelia almost choked.
They spent the afternoon hopping between attractions.
A zero-gravity room had them laughing as Zelia floated upside-down.
While Zain kicked off the walls like a bored cat.
In the holo-arcade, Zain crushed every score on the shooting games.
While Zelia got stuck in a rhythm game loop and refused to leave until she passed.
