So a priest threw holy water at me after he read this thread.

[ Ben feels the dark from his side of the ship-- wonders at it briefly and considers going to investigate until he's interrupted. First by Chewbacca, simply checking in and explaining that they'll be finding a port within the next cycle or so to stock up on supplies-- and then Rowana.

No one on this ship likes the Force. Not really. Ben thinks it's probably purposeful. His father didn't understand it and didn't want to touch it.

She asks if all of this is what this is about-- He's not entirely sure how to answer that beyond his blunt affirmation that yes Rey is Force Sensitive and he believes this is part of something bigger. And with that response she gets a look on her face that is similar to the one she's given Han hundreds of times before.

'I hope you know what you're doing, kid.'

Yeah right. Even he isn't foolish enough to PRETEND TO think he knows what he's doing. But the fact was he and Rey were in danger from something. Something which coiled them together, interlinked them until they felt the same. He doesn't tell Rowana this-- what point would there even be?

Quite frankly, he's afraid of what anyone would think if they knew of his looming darkness, that it was coming back and sucking him in.

Instead she requests his help in clearing out his bunkmate's shit and informs him that 'your girlfriend' wanted to stay in there with him. The good thing about having the emotional range of string cheese when it comes to expression? His general impassive face can be read as annoyance.

Shit cleared out Rowana will grab another crewmate to find someplace to store the items and gives Ben one last look. Trying to figure this kid out.


Sorry Rowana. It's Force Bullshit. Y'ain't gonna figure it out that easily. ]
