[ooc: If you don't mind this lady, I saw your prompts on TFLN, and followed 'em on over here. I'm going with 3, although I loved 1, too. CHOICES ARE HARD.]

Oh, yeah? And what brought it back to life? Inquiring minds wanna know.

totally fine! sorry i'm slow.

[noredemption]

On second thought, perhaps sending you that message was a potentially bad idea.

No problemo! I'm all for backtagging :0D

[see_the_stars]

Do you want a pinky swear that I won't tell a soul? It's just between us, I promise.

[noredemption]

A pinky swear? I wasn't aware we were children, Rey.

[see_the_stars]

Look, I have to find my fun somehow. You gonna tell me or am I going to have to annoy you until you do? 'Cause you know I will.

[noredemption]

As powerful as you are, Rey, you could probably just search my thoughts with the Force and find out for yourself.

Not that I'm saying that would be right, of course.

[see_the_stars]

Yes. But that would be an invasion of privacy, and I'd rather you do it of your own volition.

[noredemption]

It's not... I'm not sure this person feels the same way about me.

Actually, I'm sure they don't.

[see_the_stars]

That certainly doesn't mean that you can't find them attractive! Or, you know, feel ... inspired by them.

Who is it? Do I know them? Don't leave me hanging!

[noredemption]

This is kind of embarrassing. I didn't really think it through.

You know them very well.

[see_the_stars]

Listen, if it makes you feel any better, I promise that I won't make fun of you. I won't tell them, either, I swear.

Come on, tell me!

Please?

[noredemption]

You know you're very beautiful, Rey.

I don't mean only your appearance. You're very powerful with the Force. Of course you knew that already. Watching you move with your lightsaber, like a dance... it's mesmerizing.

[Someone really needed to catch a clue. Somebody is a little bit shocked. Somebody needs a moment before she's able to reply.]

... Me?

Why didn't you say so before?

Is that why you've been letting me win our sparring matches?

I didn't know ...

Thank you. I'm flattered that you think so. I honestly thought that you were going to say someone else entirely.

But I like that it's me.

[noredemption]

[ It's not surprising. He hasn't been exactly obvious. ]

I'm sorry if it makes you feel uncomfortable.

Don't say that to make me feel better, Rey. It's okay if you don't feel the same. Honestly, I wouldn't blame you.

[see_the_stars]

[Or maybe she's been completely oblivious.]

It doesn't make me uncomfortable. And when have you ever known me to say things that I don't mean?

I've liked getting to know you. And it would be a lie to say that I haven't thought about ... getting to know you better.

So ... what do we do now?

[noredemption]

Good point.

Really? That's good. I just wasn't sure if you'd ever want to... well, after everything I did. It's understandable. I'm fortune enough to be able to call you my friend.

I suppose we should... get to know each other better.

[see_the_stars]

Everybody deserves a second chance. And you've turned out to be a better friend than I ever could have expected. I've learned a lot from you, and I ... like you.

I definitely like you.

I'd like that. When, and where, and how?
