"I will..." He holds his hand out, hovering right above it for a moment, but hesitates. It's not that he's afraid.

All the people who ARE after him already know so there's no real harm here, "I'm just going to look at what's happened around it recently. Nothing far, nothing deep. I've had some very close encounters with Inquisitors recently so I just... I just have to make sure."

And when you have a lightsaber and no how to use it, it very rarely ever leaves your side. In the five years since the purge Cal always had his on him. Even if it was dangerous to even keep it around.
