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.

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

He shrugged. "Just... parts. I'm trying to find what I need for a podraces."

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

It helped him sleep and stay asleep. There was no fear of waking up to find it had all been a dream. Well, it helped until Bail had figured out about Ani.
"They're about all I've worked on."

"I haven't started building it yet."

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.
