Leaving Shikaakwa- Tuesday
Rey was a little careful when she talked about Silver to other people, just because he was so private that she felt like if he wanted people to know certain things, he could tell them himself. But as far as she knew, either Leia had been told or she'd figured it out from the things Rey did say, because getting called back for a mission was really more about him than her this time.
It had sounded simple enough. One of the people on the First Order's list of Resistance allies had been lost somewhere in the shuffle and was found captured by a group of Twi'lek space gangsters on Shikaakwa, and they had to negotiate his release. Silver got to do the real work there, while Rey was apparently the muscle, and Finn was there in case anything went wrong (and Rey had some Opinions she would never voice about Leia assigning him to this like that). And sure, there'd been a little bit of a scuffle to even get in, and a shorter scuffle to get back out that had ended in "Actually they're okay to leave," but it worked.
Rey didn't exactly relax until they were in the Falcon and leaving the planet, though, just because she didn't trust anyone onplanet. But once they were in space and Finn was setting a slightly-injured diplomat up in a cabin, Rey finally got to look over from the pilot's seat and say, "I'm impressed."
[For the smooth talker.]
