Rey's warehouse- Friday

[thatwaslucky]

You might think that in a large warehouse with a lot going on inside it, you might not hear the little horses on the roof. But you did. And it echoed.

Rey took the opportunity to get some meditation in, figuring that it was good practice in shutting out distractions. It was made harder by the woodchucks, who seemed to be driven crazy by the little clip clops. After a while of sitting in the air about a foot off the ground with her eyes closed, Rey did hear the door slam as they left, and now the distraction was wondering how they got over the quicksand.

"That is loud," Anakin complained, staring up.

[thatwaslucky]

"They were going in circles earlier," Rey said, still sitting with her eyes closed.

[sith_happened]

"That would be worse," Anakin agreed immediately.

[thatwaslucky]

"It's been very bad for focus but very good for practice," she said, finally opening her eyes but staying where she was.

[sith_happened]

"How long have you been practicing?" he asked.

[thatwaslucky]

"Uh. I don't actually know," Rey admitted. She rose a couple feet up so that she could just extend her legs and be standing, which was both the most and least lazy thing she could do. "It feels like about an hour?"

[sith_happened]

"It's probably a good time to take a break," Anakin decided.

[thatwaslucky]

"Probably," she agreed. "And I wasn't meditating on anything specific. Just a general quiet."

[sith_happened]

"That's a pretty good choice in December," Anakin admitted.

[thatwaslucky]

"What, do you not think the general chaos of the month isn't releasing?" Rey teased.

[sith_happened]

"Compared to Stars Hollow, maybe," Anakin teased.

[thatwaslucky]

"That was pretty hectic," Rey allowed. "But sweet."

[sith_happened]

Anakin's smile turned soft and sincere. "I'm glad you liked it."

[thatwaslucky]

"I did," she smiled. "It was a bit overwhelming at times, with all the new people and not knowing a lot of things that would come up, but I really enjoyed it. Thank you for inviting me."

[sith_happened]

"They're a lot, but they mean well," Anakin said.

[thatwaslucky]

"Clearly. They were really welcoming," Rey said. "'A lot' mostly means to me that there was a lot of talking."

Very fast.

[sith_happened]

"So much talking," Anakin agreed with a laugh. "It's all right to hide over by Luke."

[thatwaslucky]

"Now you tell me."

How dare.

[sith_happened]

"Now you know for next year," Anakin said. "The first year has to be a bit of hazing."

[thatwaslucky]

Was Rey pleased to hear there'd be a next year? Maybe.

"I wasn't aware you could base someone while also giving them that much pie."

[sith_happened]

"It's a Gilmore family specialty," Anakin said.

[thatwaslucky]

"I honestly thought you were playing up the pie before," she admitted. "I underestimated."

[sith_happened]

"We are very serious about pie," Anakin said, nodding.

[thatwaslucky]

"Is there no limit?"

Because there should be a limit, it only lasted so long.

[sith_happened]

"I haven't seen it so far," Anakin said.

[thatwaslucky]

"Do they have extra fridges?"

This is where she was now. Trying to figure out logistics.

[sith_happened]

"Lorelei, I think, has four stomachs," Anakin said.

[thatwaslucky]

"I don't understand it. Again, there are limits," she said. "Or there are for me, anyway."

[sith_happened]

"I think Rory and Lorelei train for Thanksgiving," Anakin admitted. "They're pretty normal the rest of the time."

Anakin had been worn down by them over the decades.

[thatwaslucky]

"How often do you go back there?" Rey wondered.

[sith_happened]

"Far less often since Juliet and Christopher were born," Anakin said. "When Rory was in college, she had dinner every week with her grandparents."

[thatwaslucky]

"That sounds really nice," said Rey, who of course would think that.

[sith_happened]

"I'm sure they'd love to have you more often."

[thatwaslucky]

"I would definitely feel like I was imposing," she admitted.

[sith_happened]

"Richard would be happy for the company," Anakin assured her.

[thatwaslucky]

"I actually really liked him," Rey said. "I wouldn't have thought!"

He was pretty much the exact opposite of her! Nothing in common!
