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.

"I've done it before," Rey said. "I can make it work."

"Have you got any blue prints or anything?" Rey felt like it was a question that should be asked.

"I know that," Rey rolled her eyes. While there were a lot of differences in the Solo twins, sometimes you could see the moments that made it very clear. "I meant have you drawn up any of your own?"

Rey had to admit that Ben did have a point. For most pod-racers, it was better to just work with what you had to make the best racer you could, rather than to try to plan and find you couldn't get anything you needed. Still...

"... But we've actually got time and enough resources to be able to plan out first? We could make the best pod-racer ever before we know exactly what we're looking for."

Rey is practically bouncing with the excitment of the idea.

"I've never had the chance to be able to do something like that," she admits. "On Jakku, you just... used what you had and were grateful to get hold of anything that worked. But... here? Here we have the chance to actually plan."

"Wherever Plutt set up," Rey answered. "I... I belonged to him." It wasn't exactly easy to say, but it was the truth. If Plutt moved, so did she. Granted, she would argue it was because she knew how he worked and knew how to get portions from him but... she knew otherwise.

"This time we could get them working!"

"That's the guy," Rey said with a tight smile. "Been with him since ... well, for as long as I can remember." Her fingers dug into the strap of her bag, for a moment back on the endless sands and working till her hands bled for whatever measly portion she could get. "Always had a price, for everything. And he'd find a way to get payment in any form he wanted."

She shook her head, glancing at the power core. "Oh, that's in fantastic shape. Just needs a clean up, I've got the stuff for that back at the base."

"He, uh, learned the hard way not to bet on or against or with a Solo," Rey admitted with a soft grin. "Still, there's no reason we can't try?"

"He pays more attention to faces than you'd think," Rey said, darkness in her tone. Oh, did Plutt pay attention to faces. Reaching out to touch and to say how much had changed, and how much they'd grown into a lovely example of a female...

She could still feel the clammy touch.

Rey grabbed his hand.

"Not the only one that happened to."

He really, really wasn't.

"Be grateful."

She knew Ben had had it bad. But being owned by Plutt would have made it worse.

"I know," Rey said, fingers digging into the strap again. No, she wasn't going to explain how she knew. Not here.

Rey knew nothing about Ben. What she knew was her own life. She was a scavenger, it was the only thing she'd be willing to admit to.

"Uh, yeah, down here."
