Batuu- Monday
Nov. 23rd, 2020 06:22 pmWhat was supposed to happen was that they were to take the Falcon to meet up with a spy named Vi and check out the new recruitment base on Batuu and Rey could show Silver the place. It should have been a completely easy, casual trip.
What actually happened was slightly different.
"Let me get this straight," Rey said evenly. "You lent out the Falcon?"
Chewie nodded.
"To someone named Hondo?"
Chewie explained that Hondo was a friend- okay, not a friend, exactly, but he was a smuggler working for the Resistance who needed the ship to hijack a First Order train. As you do. They had to act fast.
"Okay," Rey said, reminding herself that the ship was really mostly Chewie's, but this still posed a big problem, "but when are we getting it back?"
He paused, and told her probably today.
"And the First Order being close enough to hijack their train means that they're close to here."
Well yes, there was that. But he was sure they'd be offworld before that was a problem. And while they were waiting she'd have more time to spend with that guy he wasn't too sure about yet.
Rey was just going to have to remind herself that he'd been doing this far longer than she had, and that he had to know what he was doing.
[NFB! What. It's canon.]
