It's leather for leisure and a Velcro for sport

[jedi_librettist]

Ben stared at his brother for a full minute before he said anything. He couldn't believe what he'd just heard.

"No! You promised, Bail! You said I could just be Ben still. What do you call walking around with you and an honor guard? Do you really think no one will figure it out? I'm not doing it!"

"It was the only way they'd cut the crap!" Solo isn't much happier about any of this. "They were going to arrest me for being a slaver, Ben, I'm not having shit like that on my record."

[jedi_librettist]

"You're not..." Ben shakes his head. "Fine. But I'm not going! You take Ani and get what he needs."

[middleoftheforce]

"That kid runs from me." He wasn't kidding. Ani had looked up at him and had ran to find Ben instead. "He won't come with me unless you're there."

[jedi_librettist]

Ben ran a hand through his hair. "Then get him the basics and we can get the rest somewhere else."

[middleoftheforce]

"You could at least come. Get some air." See a place that wasn't Hutt operated.

[jedi_librettist]

"Not with them. If you can't get rid of them, I'll take Ani and go alone."

It wasn't negotiable. As far as he was concerned, the galaxy could believe he died for the rest of history. He wasn't going back to his old identity. He didn't know if he ever would.

[middleoftheforce]

There was an irritated sigh

"I'll see what I can do."

[jedi_librettist]

Ben nodded, walking to the door.

"I'll go find Ani."

[middleoftheforce]

"Change your top."

It's said quickly, but it needs to be said.

"You can grab one from my bunk." He had a bag, there'd be one in there that would do Ben.

[jedi_librettist]

Ben turns around and stares. This isn't even the worst shirt he's worn. He wouldn't want to wear it to a podrace but he's only going shopping.

"Why?"

[middleoftheforce]

"...Because we're on Naboo."

Naboo. Weird place when it comes to clothing.

[jedi_librettist]

That gets a blank look and continued staring.

"What's wrong with my shirt?"

[middleoftheforce]

Solo sighs. "Naboo's just... really picky."

[jedi_librettist]

Ben sighs and nods. "Fine. Since you're so worried about what they'll think."

He grabs the first shirt from Solo's bag he finds and leaves.

[middleoftheforce]

It wasn't that he was worried as such. He just knew that to give his twin the privacy he wanted, the other needed to blend in with the crowd more. Not that he'd accept that answer. He shook his head, and went about seeing what he could do to get rid of the honor guard he really didn't need.

Seriously, crackshot.

[jedi_librettist]

Ben stalked off to the fresher to change his shirt. He folded his own carefully and laid it by the shower. Then he went to find Ani with a group of the other children.

Then he tracked his brother down again. "Bail? Shopping money?"

[middleoftheforce]

Solo looked up, having finally finished dealing with the honor guard and frowned.

"...You don't want me to come with you?"

[jedi_librettist]

Ben frowned slightly.

"But the honor guard?"

[middleoftheforce]

"I dealt with it."

Which is true.

[jedi_librettist]

"Then I guess we're ready."

[middleoftheforce]

Solo looked. "Where's the kid?"

[jedi_librettist]

"He's here. He's putting his shoes on."

Ben looked over his shoulder at the child. He turned and knelt down.

"Try that on your other foot."

[middleoftheforce]

Solo watched, still frowning a bit over that familiar Force signature. He was ... almost positive on it, but it wasn't something he was going to mention any time soon. Let them just get through the afternoon first.

[jedi_librettist]

Ben helped Ani get his shoes on and then stood. He shook his hair out of his face.

"Let's get this over with."

[middleoftheforce]

Solo nodded, standing straight, and gesturing for them both to follow him as he lead them down towards where he had been told the better market was on that day. It wasn't too far away from where he had landed the ship. Though, granted, being able to land on official government areas did tend to make it a bit easier to find where you'd parked.

"So what sort of stuff you looking for?"
