[Open]

Who: Rey and HuxArmitage
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: For S.S. Bloodsport.
When: Monday evening.

Hold on. [The small voice is somewhat muted at first while a communicator is being turned this way and that.] I think we’ll be able to reach others with this -

[With the communicator finally facing the right way, the image of a small girl comes into focus. Her hair is in the same style she will wear when she is older and much of her clothing is similar too.]

Isn’t your name Armitage? Can I call you Armi?

That’s not my name though… [Another voice, this one also younger and uncertain can be heard then and when the communicator shifts there is a 5 year old with sharp blue eyes and orange hair. He’s wearing a fitted uniform of an Imperial officer though the only insignia is an armband around one arm bearing the symbol of the Galactic Empire. He still has some dust on his clothes, a small cut on one cheek but his expression is determined.] I just need to find the Commandant and the fleet before they leave.

Someone will know. [Rey has the simple trust of a child, though recently her trust has been badly shaken. Being left on a remote desert planet will do that to you. However she is three or so years older than her companion and she feels the need to take charge and soothe his worries.]

If anyone can hear, we’re looking for the...Commandant? I’m also looking for Jakku. [Though she really, really doesn’t want to go back there. But her family might come back and look for her.

She takes a deep breath.]
I need to go back to Jakku, but I like it better here. Armi has been really nice and I don't see very many kids in the desert.

[The nickname is sticking and there is obviously a growing affection for the small boy.]

[ quietly chastising herself for not seeing that reaction coming, barriss leans back, holding both hands up in a gesture of innocence. nice and non-threatening, but still projecting calm into the force. ]

I am not a Jedi. [ it doesn't actually feel like a lie. barriss files that realization away to meditate on later. ] Armitage Hux, you are a smart little boy. I would not ask for your trust if you had no reason to trust me. You know that you're safe with me.

Jedi are bad! And killed the Emperor! [Everything had changed that day and combined with everything his father had told him about how evil Jedi could be had planted that fear in his mind.

He heard the calm in Barriss's voice and turned to peek at her though he still held onto Rey.]
Promise you're not a Jedi?

[He wasn't convinced but he moved closer slowly before he blurted out his next question.] Are you an inquisitor?

[He didn't know what an inquisitor did exactly but he had heard from his father about how they served the Empire to protect everyone. She had protected him and Rey already but he still stayed close to Rey, just in case.]
