Rey's warehouse- Friday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

It had been another week of Rey trying and failing to contact Luke (the dead one), she was trying not to be too frustrated. After all, he was dead. Maybe it wasn't her fault that it wasn't working. Even though it felt like her fault that it wasn't working.

She'd started meditating a while ago and was still at it, sitting cross-legged on the floor with her eyes closed while BB-8 rolled his way around the warehouse.

"Don't pressure him," Rey told him.

"It's not like he has a ton of other things going on," Anakin said.

"If I felt like I was about to be yelled at, I wouldn't show up either," Rey pointed out.

[sith_happened]

"He's not being yelled at," Anakin said.

[thatwaslucky]

"But you're certainly not giving off patience," Rey said.

[sith_happened]

"I think it would worry Luke more if I was," Anakin Skywalker, Giant Hypocrite, said airily.

[thatwaslucky]

"Yes, but if I'm supposed to be calm and you aren't..."

Because giant hypocrite.

"We balance each other out?"

ANAKIN.

[thatwaslucky]

"I don't think this is going to work this time," Rey decided.

[sith_happened]

"I blame Luke," Anakin said.

[thatwaslucky]

"Then I guess I have my answer to my question."

She fully believed it was her fault though.

[sith_happened]

"What did you want to ask him?" Anakin asked.

[thatwaslucky]

"I just wanted to talk," she said. "He's been on my mind a lot lately."

Which was the truth. And since Silver left, he was the only person Rey could talk to without worrying she was going to ruin absolutely everything about how people saw her.

Anakin smiled. "And Tiny Luke isn't the same."

[thatwaslucky]

Rey looked thoughtful for a moment. "Maybe."

She'd have to either be more subtle than she knew how to be, or she'd have to come clean, though.

"But I don't know him as well."

[sith_happened]

"It's an option if you need something Luke-specific, though," Anakin said.

[thatwaslucky]

"I don't think it would hurt," she said slowly. "I don't know that he'd be okay with it."

[sith_happened]

"What would he need to be okay with?" Anakin asked. "Talking with you?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Yeah. We had a strange first meeting and haven't seen each other much since then," Rey explained.

[sith_happened]

"Was it a strange weekend?" Anakin guessed.

[thatwaslucky]

"An incredibly strange weekend," she confirmed.

[sith_happened]

"Were you a pony?" Anakin asked.

[thatwaslucky]

"No. I'd really rather not talk about it?"

It felt wrong now.

[sith_happened]

"That's fine," Anakin said with a quick smile.

[thatwaslucky]

"So it depends on if he's okay with it," she said.
