[rey had never received a package before. suspicion had been her first response when she'd gotten the message on her MID. it had to have been some kind of trick. she's prepared for the absolute worst when she picks up the box, holding it as if it might detonate at any second.
inside was dosmit ræh's helmet.
her heart had constricted. ræh had been her imaginary friend as a child, and was still someone rey looked up to even though they'd never met. and since her helmet had been inside a wrecked ship, they probably never would. so having the helmet back was a gift she'd never dreamed of. but it also meant that someone had been in her home, in her private space. and that makes her furious.]
how do these packages get here? who retrieves them? i need to know

[Between the incident with that twisted mask last month, and this journal he's currently more than a little irate about, he's not terribly thrilled with the idea either.]
What happened?

it mollifies her slightly
and also makes her more anxious]
this is insane

I suppose it could be worse, though...
I don't know about you, but that doesn't make me feel much better about it.
[A family, he'll take. The forced jobs, the "gifts" that feel far better designed as low-key torture devices? That he's not sold on. If it seems too good to be true...]

he seemed mostly normal

...What did he say?

HOW THE TABLES HAVE TURNED.]text;
well i guess it was a goodbye sort of
i don't know it was just odd

Rey
What...are you talking about?

How do you have a lightsaber and not...
know how the Force works?
[Rude, fine, whatever. But there's something here that just doesn't fit together.
There's an echo of Qui-Gon's words in the back of his mind, a flippant comment made back when he was much younger than Rey is now. Perhaps I killed a Jedi and took it from him. That wouldn't explain her signature though, would it?]

but she also doesn't really want this to be entirely public information. at least she... weirdly trusts anakin enough to tell him. but not like this.]
i don't think it's something i can explain in a text message
no subject
Alright. Let me know a way you can explain it, and I'll be there.
[It's more open than he'd leave it for a lot of people, but...for some reason he can't quite reasonably explain, he trusts she won't try to shirk the request.]

i'll be in the gardens
