Not a bad way to pass the time.

Indeed.

They get off planet and into hyperspace with no issues.

Anakin goes to find Rey, to let her know that Anakin's going to be leaving to see what Kylo Ren's up to.

Rey is deep within the guts of engineering, grease covering her face and hands - already (she was never one to be careful about such things), and it's a good distraction from the pounding and the terror she feels, but does jump up when Anakin arrives.

"Okay. Give me two minutes to kick the converter back into place, otherwise we'll be thrown out of hyperspace and be stranded who-knows-where."

She wants to ask Anakin how she is, whether she's as terrified as she. But... she so exhausted, physically, and emotionally that she can't make the words surface.

"Thanks."

"You alright?"

Rey sighs and continues on with her work.

"No. But I will be."

She nods.

"Once this is - more settled - we should sit and talk some, I think."

"Right." She finishes up and wipes down her hands. "I love you. Come back soon."

"Love you too, Rey. I'll be back as soon as I can."

And she leaves.

Rey heads to the cockpit.

Sunn's there, though she doesn't say anything. Does nod at Rey in acknowledgement, though.

Rey nods back, sits in the pilot's seat, and - does all the checks again. She doesn't doubt that Anakin did everything correctly, but this way she gets a better idea of the status of the ship.

Everything seems good so far. They're two days out from their first stop, Dorin, at the forgotten edge of territories the First Order technically claims but doesn't enforce their presence much in.

Good. That can be another thing she doesn't have to worry about.

She sits back in the seat and just - breathes. It doesn't get rid of the underlying tension, but it's sorely needed.

Sunn stays quiet, giving her space and peace, mostly not even looking at her.

They can stay like that then. Eventually, Rey gives her a quick tour of the ship, directs Sunn to the weapons locker and then heads back to the cockpit to watch the console and meditate. Healing takes time, but mediation can help a lot. Especially when you get the Force involved.

And Anakin returns, after a time.

She doesn't have much to report - just that Kylo Ren was suddenly summoned back by the First Order's Supreme Leader. No reason was given, and Anakin still can't spy directly on the leadership of their enemies.

"Did they catch wind of where we're going?"

"I don't think so. At least, Kylo Ren didn't seem to know. He was - angry, about the diversion."

"We should keep on the down-low anyway. I'll find one of the old suits, helmet and all, and wear it when we leave the Falcon."

She nods. "Sunn probably should, too."

Rey pauses. "Should we be trusting her? I know she rescued me..."

Her gaze goes briefly distant.

"With a different Ren, I'd expect more of a trap, but... Kylo isn't very subtle. It's not that he isn't clever, but - I think he objects to hiding his intent."

"Sunn herself is hard to get a read on, but... I'm not sure she's a good liar, either."

"She's a Force user. Don't think I missed that."

"Yeah. Many of the stormtroopers are a little force sensitive, but - she seems unusually so."
