Rey's warehouse- Friday

[thatwaslucky]

Rey had run through the normal stuff a little early today, and now was sitting on a crate reading one of the Jedi texts. It was the oldest, the one she had the most trouble with, and she should probably hunker them on it more.

Sure, the woodchucks seemed to be working extra loud to try and bother her, but she was doing a better job of being annoyed privately.

[Open!]

"Rey?" Anakin called, entering the warehouse.

[thatwaslucky]

"Over here," she called from the crate.

[sith_happened]

"This looks contemplative," Anakin said with a smile.

[thatwaslucky]

"Just doing some light reading," she said, lifting up the very heavy, old book.

[sith_happened]

"Light," Anakin repeated, snickering.

[thatwaslucky]

"This is actually the oldest and the hardest of the texts," she said, making a face. "It's not very fun to get through."

[sith_happened]

"That's probably why I never read it," Anakin said blithly.

[thatwaslucky]

"Also I don't know where you would have gotten it," Rey said. "It was lost until Luke found it somehow. And some of the languages won't exist anymore, according to Threepio."

[sith_happened]

"Well, he'd know," Anakin said with a little smile. "He's fluent in over six million forms of communication."

[thatwaslucky]

"As he loves reminding me," Rey smiled. "He's been very helpful, honestly."

[sith_happened]

"I'm glad," Anakin said. "He loves to be helpful."

[thatwaslucky]

"He does," she said. "I think he wishes there were more books."

[sith_happened]

"Well, he also loves to learn," Anakin said with a fond smile. "Part of his programming."

[thatwaslucky]

"You did very well with that," Rey told him. "He got to work with a historian and everything on this."

[sith_happened]

Anakin laughed. "Was the historian as happy about it as Threepio?"

[thatwaslucky]

"Mostly, yes. He spent a lot of time researching Jedi and Sith objects and lore, I think he was thrilled to be able to talk about it," she said.

[sith_happened]

"There's someone for everyone," Anakin said, grinning.

[thatwaslucky]

"How did the Jedi get information like this in your time?" Rey wondered, closing the book.

[sith_happened]

"An enormous library in the heart of the Temple," Anakin said. "It was a calm, amazing place. It was one of the first places I went from Tatooine and was overwhelmed by all of the knowledge."

[thatwaslucky]

"I would have loved to see that," she said, and realized, "I only have eight books."

A whole library?

[sith_happened]

"I'm sorry," Anakin said, genuinely remorseful.

[thatwaslucky]

"It's okay," she told him. "I'll make it work."

[sith_happened]

"You shouldn't have to," Anakin said.

[thatwaslucky]

"It's just how things are," she told him. "And I am excellent at building new things out of very old things."

Sure there was a little bit of terror at screwing it up, but that was probably normal.

[sith_happened]

"I've noticed that," Anakin said.
