Crossing the bridges between trees was as simple for K-2 as walking on the ground. He had no fear of falling, no vertigo, no nerves, and perfect balance.

Chewbacca was the same, although he came by these abilities naturally, whereas K-2’s skills were artificial.

Mayv, however, had none of those abilities, artificial or otherwise, and each bridge crossing for her was a feat of courage—stepping away from the tree trunk, out onto a narrow branch with nothing on either side except a fatal fall.

At first, she’d edge out onto the bridge as far as she could while holding on to K-2 for balance, then take four or five nervous steps across to where Chewbacca was waiting with an outstretched hand. Soon the nervous steps became confident ones and she could follow Chewie across without breaking her stride.

K-2 would then stomp fearlessly after her and they’d do it again for the next tree.

“This is taking a while,” said Mayv, “but so far nothing is trying to eat us, so that’s good.”

“GRURRRUGH!” agreed Chewie.

As they went, they saw many different kinds of glorbs. Some walked on the tops of branches. Some walked on the undersides. Some flew. Some rode around on larger glorbs.

Despite all the variations of bugs—tiny, small, big, monstrous, furry, beaked, long-legged, short-legged, no-legged, winged, greebled, and so on—there was an essential glorb-ness to all of them. The other thing they all had in common was a fear of the ground. Even on the most crowded trees, there was never a glorb within fifty meters of the dirt below. The bugs avoided it as if it were Mustafar lava.

Unfortunately for the glorbs, they were unprepared to avoid Goldie. She had already sampled several of the smaller varieties of glorb and was feeling very pleasantly stuffed and just wishing everyone would stop for a few minutes so she could have a nap.

She got her wish.

SNAP!
