Ben waits for Ibani to circle around, drawing the ireful gaze of the Jedi with her, and away frm the maintenance hatch, before he slips out and circles around in the other direction towards the main door.
He glances once at Ibani, establishes that she can probably handle two Jedi on her own, and if she can't he'll be back anyway, and then he holds a hand up against the door lock.
The door opens with thankfully not enough noise to distract anyone from the very real and imposing presence of Darth Imperious, and Ben steps out into the corridor.
Again, he relaxes his shields, and there he is, kind, compassionate, and utterly trustworthy, a strong contrast to the presences he leaves behind in the control room.
"Tell me," he says quietly, "are you expecting an attack, or is it normal to wander around the Shadows?"
