video: un; just.rey (set after the Palpatine plot)

[makesrocksfloat]

[Someone has been having a month. technically two. so she looks almost combative when she asks]

Right, apparently I--me--some version of me has been here before.

I'm asking who knew me, what they knew about me, and if they want to keep knowing me.

[private to Kylo Ren]

Did you know?

[Usagi waves.]

Well, we didn't really know each other very well, but uh, I'm good [Friends? Yeah, friends.] friends with Kylo Ren. [And she is absolutely aware of his massive crush on you, Rey.]

Whoo-hoo! 😁

[makesrocksfloat]

[Rey waves awkwardly back]

You are? He has friends? [part of her is relieved and part of hers is...ridiculously jealous. he's hers. isn't he?]

I don't want him to be alone. [the truth] What is it like, being friends with him?

[lightthedarkness]

Well, I don't know that he would use the word "friend" but I use the word.

He's secretly very sweet and doesn't want people to know it. I don't think he really realizes he is, either. But he's considerate, very blunt.

But I mean, there's nothing stopping you from being his friend HERE, right? So you could also find out. [Usagi is, not so subtlety, trying to play matchmaker.]

[makesrocksfloat]

[that earns a small smile] He's not exactly easy to get to know.

[hello, Force bonds kicking in seemingly at random. like the time he wasn't wearing a shirt.

great, and now she's blushing and she knows exactly why]

He is...both of those things. Caring, but afraid to show it. And, I don't know. It depends on the situation. Then, I think he knows. [and a small laugh] And he's definitely very blunt. [then again, so is she]

No, there's nothing stopping me. [other than an ocean of hopes and fears, regrets and reminisces. the touch of fingertips, unlike anything she'd ever felt before or since.

good, they could use every bit of help in the galaxy to get over themselves and try being happy]

[lightthedarkness]

Then, if there's nothing stopping you, Rey-chan, you can be his friend too. I bet he'd really like that, honestly. [Does Usagi know how Kylo feels about Rey? Yes, she absolutely does. Is she using that to her advantage? Also, yes.]

Why don't the three of us go have lunch together! [And Usagi will be even later than she usually is~]

[makesrocksfloat]

[blushing tomato red and hating it because ugh! stupid sexy Ben Kylo Ren] I, ah. Yes. I suppose you're right? That he'd like that, I mean. [and she's the world's worst at hiding her emotions, it's probably glaringly obvious that she has feelings for him in return]

That would be nice? [having a buffer and potential mediator between them while they attempted to sort things out, yes]

[lightthedarkness]

Maybe you two can chat more at my wedding. I'm getting married this month, you're welcome to come and I'll try my best to drag his butt there, too.

[makesrocksfloat]

You're getting married? [her eyes are wide. marriage wasn't really a thing on Jakku] That's--very nice! Very very nice! And, you really think you can do it?

[lightthedarkness]

I am! To one of my very best friends, Makoto Kino. She's... she's so amazing!

I mean, I can TRY, but I'm pretty good at getting people to do things!

[makesrocksfloat]

[Rey smiles] That's wonderful. It really is. To get married to one of your best friends.

[and she tries to not feel jealous. marriage really wasn't done on Jakku, but there are a lot of things she's learned about that she wants which weren't on Jakku]

Well, I leave the task in your hands. [and maybe if Usagi succeeds, she and Kylo can touch hands again? or maybe she'd get the chance to find out if his hair is as soft as it looks]
