Ok Edna thinks about her options and quickly concludes that her best bet is to sit tight for the time being and not draw attention to herself. She's suddenly quite glad that she still looks heavily pregnant. Escape from the room at this point would only highlight her presence to him so she decides to stay where she is in the crowd until she knows what he plans to do.
You'll have to see when you reach encounter 3, Rex!

Turns out this is the right choice, Edna. The odd thing is, he;s checking out people he sees quite carefully. If he was looking for someone specific, surely he'd know them on sight? Odd.
Eventually, he doesn't seem to find what he's after, and turns away.
Suddenly the penny drops and Edna understands why on earth Gald would have been in this hellhole in the first place. She should have known better than to think he would have given up on Kuylen. Clearly he believes Kuylen is still alive on Datura and who knows whether that is true or not. She only hopes that Gald and his new friends had an escape route planned before being so reckless.
Edna wonders away from that particular case conscious not to linger there for much longer. Thoughts start to race through Edna's mind about Kuylen's sabre. She wonders if there is likely to be anyone around whom could tell her the story behind how it got to be there. Clearly a weapon that gets pride of place at the top of the display must have an interesting story behind it.
Edna continues to wonder about like an awstruck visitor.
