This cat of the slum had a mind, wasn't dumb...

Ben kept to the least reputable areas of Republic City. It was easier to find the parts he needed there and, more importantly, to avoid notice. It wasn't just that he didn't want to be recognized as Prince Ben Organa-Solo. He needed to avoid notice since he had no money of his own.

He smiled slightly when he saw the power core. It was exactly the kind he needed. It was far too small for a ship but clearly more powerful than any speeder had a right to be. He walked casually over to the shop. "Which model is that?" he asked, easily drawing the dealer into a conversation.

Several minutes later, he picked up the part. "You were already paid for this," he murmured. He waited just long enough for the togruta to repeat the phrase back before he left, prize in hand.

"...That we're building a pod." That's all that needed to be said.

There's a slow nod, her arms wrapping round herself as uncomfortable memories kept forcing themselves forward.

"Yeah. That... that would be a good idea."

"I've gotten everything I needed," Rey said. "I'll... just follow you."

Rey gave a nod of agreement.

"The bag is pretty full, I wouldn't be able to get much else into it."

"I'd prefer it," she said. "I ... don't actually know how to use the programs to design." She could read the designs off them easily enough, but she didn't know how to use them to make a design of her own.

"The base has paper, we can use that," she nodded, trying to make some sort of plan in her own head.

Rey nodded in agreement. "Yeah, probably best to make sure he doesn't worry too much."

Rey had not actually spent a lot of time around Ani, since the majority of her time was taken up with working on whatever ship arrived. She needed to find a way to pay for her being there, after all, and fixing Bail's junker was repayment for him giving her the ride her. She just hadn't had a lot of time for interacting with the young boy.

She had seen him with Ben, though, and it seemed like they were good for each other.

Rey frowned, looking at Ben. She considered what he said. "... Somehow, I'm not surprised."

"I mean, the question of how or why doesn't even seem to apply. My mind automatically answers with: they're Solos." Rey waved her hand as if to articulate the sentence.

Porcelain Thranta? Rey's face showed one of awareness and she began moving things in the bag. After a minute or two she pulled up a - slightly mucky now - plush Thranta.

"...I'll give it a wash."

Rey absently pet the head of the plush item, smiling at it a little. She'd never had anything like this growing up. Well, she'd thrown together a doll out of scraps but ... this was something very different.

"Bail said," she replied. "He's going to look on some of the black markets, just in case."
