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.

Actually, he hadn't brought any money with him. It wasn't like he had any of his own and he was trying to avoid asking for anything more.

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

Most of the time, he hadn't even drawn up any plans. He'd had nowhere to record them. Even now, he felt much more confident with the idea of actually drawing them than with trying to program them as a holiday.

"We can work at my mom's apartment. Then Ani won't be afraid I left."

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

His lips twitched slightly at the memory. Those had been good times, mostly.

He bit his lip, trying not laugh. "Did Bail tell you about Ani and Mom's porcelain thranta?"
no subject
"...I'll give it a wash."
no subject
He sighed with relief. "Maybe now he'll leave Mom's antique alone. It's from Alderaan."

"Bail said," she replied. "He's going to look on some of the black markets, just in case."
no subject
He really didn't feel anywhere close to ready to be a father.
