[leftonjakku]

Who: Rey and HuxArmitage!
Broadcast: Nope!
Action: Yes on S.S. Bloodsport.
When: Sunday evening.

[She has a friend. A friend! Rey's excitement hasn't diminished over that fact and her footsteps are quick as she hurries back to her room where her new friend is waiting.]

Armi, I got you a snack! [They have made a nice little space on the floor for themselves. On one side, there are paper and pens for drawing; on the other, there are toys. Rey has made as many models of ships as she can remember from this and that lying around the Bloodsport. Armitage has done the same and that deserves a nice snack!]

How is your ship coming along? [She sits by him, crossing her legs and sipping on some water.]

[He froze at the kiss on his cheek, looking at her wide eyed before wiping his cheek, not sure what she had done.]

It's really big! And I'm going to get to go on one and we're going to visit another planet far far away. [As scary as leaving Arkanis was the idea of going to space was exciting for him.

He reached over to pick up some of the food once he moved his picture out of the way.]

[leftonjakku]

[She grins at his confusion, looking not in the least repentant. He's too cute for her to be sorry!]

I think you should visit a lot of planets. [Setting her water down, she lays on her stomach and adds details to her own drawing of the desert.] Every single one you can.

[therewillbeorder]

I want to visit them all! I think there is a planet that is one big city! And another that is all ice.

[He leaned over to look at her drawing with wonder. Arkanis was so lush and green he couldn't imagine a place where it didn't rain at all.]

[leftonjakku]

[His descriptions have her starry-eyed.] I wish I could go with you.

[She begins to color in the sand - choosing tans, golds and oranges for it.]

But I have to stay on Jakku. I hope my family doesn't come back for me while I'm here.

[It's a thought that clearly bothers her, so she puts it to the back of her mind.]

Can you tell me about Arkanis?

[therewillbeorder]

You can come on the star destroyer with me. [He decided, surely no one would object to that. It had to be better than Jakku.

He finished his snack before settling down to find his pencil.]

It rains all the time so I can't go outside a lot. There are a lot of trees and an ocean! It's really big though I'm not allowed to go down to it. [It had been deemed unsuitable though he had always wanted to go.]

And there are nerfs right outside and I watch them when I'm done with my lessons. They are big but smell really gross. [He made a face as he started drawing again.]

[leftonjakku]

...maybe for a visit? [She considers it, glancing at him as she draws a cloud.] Did you like your snack?

[He must have since he polished it off! Rey falls silent and listens to him, putting down her colored pen.]

If it rains all the time and you're by an ocean, that must be dangerous. You could accidentally fall in.

[She giggles.] I don't think they can help that!

[therewillbeorder]

Mhmm it tastes good! [He smiled a bit, Rey made it easy for him to forget the proper behavior his nanabot had always reminded him to be mindful of at all times.]

That's what nanabot says, too. Nerfs fall in the ocean a lot. [He still wanted to go to the ocean some day. Her giggling put him at ease a little more and his smile grew.]

I guess not.

[leftonjakku]

I'll remember! [There's no need to be proper while they're playing! She likes seeing him so relaxed anyway. He really is a sweet little boy.]

You don't want to end up like that, right? I think you should visit another planet that has an ocean. A planet that doesn't rain all the time.

[Rey hums.] I'd like to play in the water too.

[He colored his picture, trying to copy what he had seen on that holo his father had shown him once. At least he got the right long triangle shape.

He shook his head quickly, distracted from his picture again.] I want to go swimming too! Somewhere warm and without the rain and storms.

[He reached over to grab one of his small star destroyer toys he had had in his pocket of his coat when he had arrived, rolling over onto his stomach.]

[leftonjakku]

That would be nice. With no Nerfs following you into the water, right? [She snickers and begins to draw one of the few creatures native to Jakku.] They could use the bath, though.

[Her gaze is fixed on the little toy and she sits up, watching him.]

Did your Daddy give you that?

[therewillbeorder]

What's that? [He pointed to her drawing, not sure what the creature was.] Is that your pet? I always wanted a cat but the Commandant said it wasn't suitable.

[Like a lot of things. He had gotten used to it though.]

Uh huh! You want to see? [He held it out to her if she wanted to take it.]
