The hotel had brought them somewhere new again. He was eager to explore as usual. Ben would have messaged Rey to join him but- She hadn't spoken to him since that night. Though he was willing to give Rey as much time that she needed, he found himself quickly missing her presence. Though they would always be able to feel each other through the Force to some degree, he'd made the effort to give her that space even there. Finding out that her parents had left her behind to save her life was a hard enough truth to swallow. Knowing that it was her own blood that was responsible was another. Being told she was a Palpatine, granddaughter to the man who had almost single-handedly destroyed the galaxy? It was a lot. She would come around eventually though. Ben was certain. Or he hoped she would. If she didn't, that was going to be alright too. He'd have to wait and see what path she chose. Trust had been broken. He couldn't expect her to forgive him immediately. Ben had invited himself along with Padme and Anakin when they'd mentioned going into the city. When Finn also agreed to join them, he'd been surprised. He'd assumed Finn was upset with him too over what happened but he was glad for the company so he didn't question it. If the other man had any ulterior motives for coming with, Ben didn't care. The park they had landed in was big. It took them awhile to leave it and start heading further into the city. They all noticed how quiet it was right away. The city was largely empty which was odd but they'd seen odder things before and Ben wasn't familiar with this city so as far as they knew, it could have been abandoned for years before the hotel had dropped them here. With Padme and Anakin ahead, Ben stayed with Finn behind them. "What do you think happened to the people here?" He glanced at Finn briefly. Was a conversation possible or was this going to be a very long and awkwardly quiet walk together? |
