@ofjakkus cont’d from x.

“Stars, no! I don’t enjoy killing people!” She couldn’t help but be offended -- it was her job, not something that she got off on. It was survival, and if she didn’t have to, perhaps Kalani would have lived a peaceful life! She paused, thick lips pursed. 

“Does it... seem like I do?”

There are multiple presences in the Force on Coruscant that would count as strong. Luke has begun to pick up on all of them more on instinct than as anything conscious - the timbre and the feel, so to speak, of each one even if he’s not personally familiar with most of them. So the girl grabs his attention almost immediately. He doesn’t know her, which isn’t surprising. He’d like to get to know her.

He’s started to connect her to some of the rumors, especially those from the younger (or - well, what does that even mean any more?) generation - that is to say, the one more familiar with the Resistance and the First Order. But he hasn’t wanted to pry too much. Expectations are not what he wants to place on her, especially not from him.

Luke knows who he is and what he represents and sometimes that matters more than what he thinks of himself. So he waits to approach her until there’s a rare moment of quiet, most of the base distracted with everyday workings, to approach her. And he picks his words carefully.

❛❛ You’re Rey, right? I’ve heard a lot about you - all good, I swear. ❞

There’s been faint implications that he met her before, an older version of himself that he certainly isn’t. It’s an odd thing to know walking into this conversation.

It was better when I didn’t know. Before you, I had hope.

     maybe it was something in coruscant’s atmosphere, maybe it was the lack of sleep or the sheer ridiculousness of the situation they found themselves in, or maybe it was the fact that he was, again, face to face with her, but he actually found himself chuckling. it was a mirthless sound, bitterness and cruel amusement controlled, but it felt as foreign as it would if it were glee. “hope?” he questioned her, the word sounding as unpracticed as it felt, as though his tongue was tripping over the short length of letters, as though he had spent the last year speaking another language and just then switched back to galactic basic. it did feel odd to use his voicebox to communicate with her; aside from short bursts, all of their previous conversation had been in his head.

     “hope will only let you down,” he murmured back to her, a practiced edge to his voice to hide the uncharacteristic softness. “you’re better off without it anyway. you should be thanking me.”

“Can’t sleep?”

can’t sleep meme. [[accepting.]]

“No, I’m sleepwalking. Having a totally amazing dream,” the woman replied with sarcasm dripping off each syllable, her eyes puffy and adorning terrible looking bags beneath. At that point, Kalani wasn’t sure as to how many hours she had been awake. Each time she tried, flashes invaded her mind, followed by screams she really didn’t want to relive. “What are you doing out here? Your mind keeping you awake too?”

“Hey. Pretend you were waiting for me. You’re being followed.”

 terrible first meeting [[accepting]]

Of all things expected on such a dim day, it wasn’t a girl telling her that she was being followed—Kalani had felt it minutes earlier. She wasn’t sure what to make of it, nor the voice in front of her. There weren’t any particularly ominous vibes coming from this, something almost… alluring, Kalani would say. It didn’t seem like she would be killed, at the very least.

Tentatively, she came to a stop, putting on a wide smile for this stranger. She couldn’t tell who the girl looked like; she spilled the first name that came to mind anyway. “Tyla, there you are!” She cringed at the way her voice sounded too relieved.

gaze moved down to the floor, a bittersweet smile ghosting on her lips as she gave the girl a small nod. ❝ i do. it is sometimes quite difficult to be alone in the galaxy, but it’s only a chance to create your own family... which might be better as now you can actually pick your family. saves you the worry of being stuck with a half-wit. ❞
