Tahl’s heart sank as they waited for him to respond. He didn’t seem to recognize them at all. They didn’t look that different, even if Jorah was a giant now and they has changed their style. There had been “siblings” that couldn't share thoughts with her and others that couldn’t speak at all, but the odds that there was one they hadn’t known who had also escaped but didn’t show any other signs that he was like them...They had chased a complete stranger. His mask wasn’t even very like theirs. She put hers back on to breathe better while he fiddled his phone.
That seemed kind of an odd thing to do, not that she was a great judge of normal behavior. He didn’t seems to be ignoring them all of a sudden. They couldn’t exactly see his face thought, so he might have been. Then it occurred to her that since he apparently couldn’t talk, if she was interpreting his gesture correctly, he needed some other way to communicate. That was cleared up at least when he handed the device to them to read.
Tahl lpeered at the screen, frowning. He was on the run too, but from who? Was Luke’s “Them” the same as theirs? She and Jorah didn't really know how far they needed to go to be out of reach, and that was a real problem. Luke was offering to help, but could they even trust him?
She glanced at Jorah, but he just shrugged, not even bothering to reply with words. She couldn't’ blame him. He was looking much worse after their run, that had probably been a mistake. Now they were running out of time to find some water. And safety if Luke was right and the streets themselves were hazardous. They didn’t really need to discuss it anyway. The risk was obvious. They could be led just about anywhere.
When Luke started walking away, she decided to follow, grabbing Jorah’s arm. If they were led into trouble, all they had to do was stay together.
