Rey's warehouse- Friday afternoon

[thatwaslucky]

The woodchucks had been quiet and normal lately (as much as warehouse-dwelling rodents could be), but when Rey got to the warehouse today, she found a few stacked on top of each other, trying to get into the snack locker.

They looked at Rey.

She looked at them.

The top woodchuck quietly dropped down to the floor.

"You could just ask," Rey said, and it was a sign of how things were going here that she didn't wonder how they would do that.

Rey shrugged. "It is what it is," she said, not sure what else to say. That was why she had a bag.

The 'dead parental figures' had been its own separate bag, which had seemed a little mean.

All of their bags had been mean. "I'm responsible for why you didn't have training, so I'm sorry."

"I'm where I'm supposed to be," she told him. "Look at it that way."

"I'm not known for my optimism," Anakin replied.

"Another reason you ended up with me," she returned.

"The Force enjoys balance," Anakin said, only a little dry.

"Yes. Different perspectives help," she said.
