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.

Rey tended to visit the least reputable areas of the City as she was more likely to find the parts they were in desperate need of there faster than she would through the more reputable sellers. That, and half of those sellers were over-priced and she knew that they were giving better prices in the less visited areas. She would go, bag slung over her shoulder, and make trades and deals and always return with better than she set out with. No one questioned it, just accepted that's what she did.

She didn't expect to see who she saw, especially with not what she saw him doing.

"...Ben?"

She tapped the bag around her. "Shopping for scrap to use on the ships," was her answer, frowning in his direction. "What are you doing here?" She looked around. "Where's Ani?"

"Right," she nodded slowly, looking around at the shops. "So, I know why I shop here. But... I didn't see you as coming to these places?"

"New doesn't mean better," Rey replied. "I'm working on Bail's junker and new really won't work there." There's an eye-roll, but the strain of affection is clear in her voice. "Pretty sure I'm going to end up stripping that thing from top to bottom."

"Not on that junker, new doesn't fit," she said with a shrug. Then there was a grin. "I'd love to work on the Falcon, but he's so protective of it. Won't let me near it."

"For older models like the Falcon, the newer parts need so much rigging, you're better off buying used," she said with a shrug. "They don't make them to fit the older ones, and the newer stuff might increase speed but you're losing the movement that the Falcon has so beautifully." She gives a look as if to ask why people do not think on that. "So instead, I'm trying to get Bail's junker up to scratch. You know it doesn't even have a working escape pod?"

"You're telling me," she said. "I need to rip out and completely replace the fresher because Bail decided to take his temper out on it." The tone of her voice made it clear this wasn't the first time she was making repairs thanks to Bail's temper. Frankly, she wasn't all that surprised; people who fought in the pits did worse, and they had met when he was fighting in the pits on Jakku.

"What you shopping for?" She asked. "Maybe we'll be able to help each other out."

"I was planning on replacing those anyway," she said with a shrug. "They wobble a lot when he hits hyper and you don't need that."

She brightens. "Podracing? I haven't worked on a pod-racer in years."

"Are you working on one now?" She was curious.

[personal profile] girlandherstaff 2018-09-13 05:49 pm (UTC)(link)
"Are you going to need any help?"

She would love to work on something like that again, it had been so long. It was some of her first experience, really, with fixing something that was expected to be able to move again, not just be ready to re-sell.

"I would love to!" She beamed, and then remembered what Bail had told her about Ben not being too good around people. "I mean, if you're okay with that."

"All he ever talked about was how he was going to find you," Rey said, feeling as if she should make it clear that while she might mean something to Bail, his twin did mean more. "And now he has... I think he's a bit lost for what to do."

"Nothing, he's just being an idiot," Rey said, in the secure tone of the partner who has seen the moods. "He's just... He's so happy to have you back and it's just going to be a few moments till his mind catches up with him."
