rey sat silently at zay, quietly picking at the crust of her small wrap. it had been nice, these few years, to have poe and zay through this. their common origin, it allowed them to only grow closer, it seemed. a mutual sense of displacement-- of knowing too much, a burden rey knew poe had only been troubled more, knowing more of her own future than she.
but zay-- her parents were here, something she couldn’t speak of.
sure, rey had not known her own parents well, but couldn’t imagine the burden, the longing to selfishly let all be known of what their future family held.
which is what rey hoped she could help ease. being an ear to talk to, someone that could know her struggles-- the reason these small private meals had become so important.
regardless, rey didn’t want to press, allowing conversation to continue off from the possible stress, “you didn’t make it to the ship bay today, did you? you certainly missed bb8 telling off the mechanical droid, it was quite a show, poe would have been proud.”
