[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

Likely the same way we did.

[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?

They're bringing people back from the dead. I'm unsure "should have" is really a consideration on the part of our hosts.

[His children are either his age, or older than him. He knows.]

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...]

If we're stuck here for...force knows how long, we might as well make something of it? Which isn't better either, and don't tell Obi-Wan I said that, I sound like him. Can't have that.

You guess?
...What did he say?

A goodbye?
Rey
What...are you talking about?

That's the part you thought was weird?
It's like saying
Well.
It's like...

Consider the alternative. If the Force informs everything: life, the space around you, you even, being left without it would be pretty...lonely, wouldn't it?

[Or downright horrifying. Bygones.]

...It's like a luck thing, if that makes it any easier.

[With an answer like that, he's left with no option but to ask.]

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?]

[It's a little foreboding, perhaps, but he can understand the need for privacy, even if there's no Council watching everything.]

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.]
