[cabot]

faster than you, i imagine.

[forcevisions]

Faster than Sir Gold?

[valdrin]

that fossil? easily. he'll be too busy finding his cane.

[forcevisions]

he said he could do it in one week.

[ but her bluff was only ... 11 ... ]

[cabot]

is that what he'll tell me if i ask him?

[forcevisions]

That depends how much he likes me.

[valdrin]

i thought so. what's the rush?

[forcevisions]

i want to use it to further my training, and i don't do well sitting idle.

[cabot]

within the week. but i want to see this artifact of yours first.

[forcevisions]

I'll bring it to you. In the fire wing?

[cabot]

i'll meet you at the statue there

-> action?

[forcevisions]

[ rey doesn't waste time. she's committed, at this point, and that sentiment is only further reinforced by her conversation with jaina. she's not turning back, no matter how bad this idea looks. she can't have come this far, know exactly where it is, just to not have it.

so she heads straight to the Fire Wing and hovers awkwardly by the statue with an overly serious expression. ]

[cabot]

[ it doesn't take too long before val'drin comes along, looking dapper as ever. ] I think I'm looking for you. [ he'll just... look her up and down. to uh

make sure

?? ??? ]

[forcevisions]

[ oh no he's cute ]

S-Sir Cabot? [ she THOUGHT HE WOULD BE OLD ]

[cabot]

Val'drin, please. [ he moves forward, extending a hand smoothly ]

[forcevisions]

Rey.

[ she hesitates on that for a moment before she realizes

she should do some talking. she straightens and squares her shoulders like she's on an Important Mission and quickly packs away her flustered reaction (deal with that later). then she reaches in the bag at her hip and pulls out

her lightsaber hilt.

it's what she has for now, ok. ]

Uh, this ... This is what I wanted to show you. [ she hesitates on handing it over, pulling it back towards her somewhat and frowning as she corrects, ] It's all I have to show you.

[valdrin]

[ he notices her hesitation so asks politely: ] May I?

[forcevisions]

[ WAFFLE WAFFLE. ]

I don't know if it's the sort of thing you're interested in, but it's the closest thing I have to magic, where I come from.

[ she has said all this before, she realizes. she's just hesitating. she shoves it out in front of her, to hand off to him. ]

[cabot]

[ with a really high int check, val'drin figures out where to point that thing before hitting the button. with a distinctive snap-hiss the blade hums to life, and val'drin's eyebrows go up quickly ] Well, well.

[forcevisions]

It's called a lightsaber. It's the weapon of a Jedi.

[ these terms mean nothing to him, of course. they barely mean anything to her. myths. stories. that's all she has. ]

You should really be careful with keeping it on. That beam is plasma.

[ this, at least, she can provide. ]

[valdrin]

How does that work, exactly?

[forcevisions]

[ she just shrugs her shoulders like wtf man i don't know. ]

I haven't looked inside. I'm not sure I could put it back together, if I did.

[valdrin]

Where did you get this?

[forcevisions]

A smuggler's basement, actually, but if you mean where does it come from ... it belonged to one of the last Jedi. Luke Skywalker, and before that, his father Anakin.

[cabot]

And what's a Jedi?
