[ Rey has her hood pulled up to stave off the ever-present rain pouring down in sheets on the upper levels of Drakstaden. Over her shoulder, half visible, is the tall, slouching figure of Kylo Ren. ]

We went digging in the Vakdir headquarters and got our hands on their patrol schedule. [ There's a file attached — the video of her and Kylo going through it on the terminal inside the Vakdir HQ, so it'll show any guild members interested in it the same schedule they'd seen. ]

Nothing on the Prime Minister's detail, unfortunately. [ Her nose crinkles as she says this. She's clearly not satisfied without that piece, but at least this facilitates their work here. ] But this should make moving around without getting spotted a little easier.

[ Or harder, if you're the kind of person to see a cluster of guards and run towards whatever they're watching instead of away. ]

[ ooc; per exploration, what this means — Kylo Ren and Rey successfully find the assignments and patrol schedules for the next few weeks. You can safely assume that they (and whomever they share this information with!) can avoid encountering Vakdir patrols if they reference the schedule. ]

Do you think they have rain boots? I bet people down there need good shoes, too.

[forcevisions]

We'll find some.

[ We. She does a full-head turn to look at Kylo expectantly. ]

[secondnature]

He doesn't have to be involved. I'm not asking him to be.

(?) Kylo Ren will remember that

[sololoquy]

[Kylo says nothing and does not react, but he does blink an acknowledgement before cutting himself out of the conversation again.]

[forcevisions]

[ What does ? ?? that mean ? ?? ? Is he acknowledging Keith, or her, or ...?

Not starting That Fight again in public. She'll ugly cry and it'll be her face with the egg on it. She just says, firmly: ] You'll get rain boots. [ She'll make sure of it, regardless. ] Children's sizes?

[secondnature]

Whatever you can get. Kids aren't the only ones who need them. Everyone's going to need to have dry feet, especially if it'll help them take care of their kids. Or someone else's kids.

[forcevisions]

Got it.

[ Whatever they can, check. ]

[secondnature]

Just—try to take them from someplace they wouldn't be missed. We don't need them to crack down on theft and then get people down there in trouble for having them.

[forcevisions]

I was thinking I'd just have someone with money in one of the stores buy them for us.

[ Honest, at least. But she's mostly thinking of the store employees. Unkar Plutt had some severe methods that she doubts are true everywhere in the galaxy for dealing with people who stole, but she imagines it's not far off here. ]

[secondnature]

That's ... one way to do it ... though you'll probably want it to be multiple people. They'll know they did something strange later, right?

[The ??? Force ???]

[forcevisions]

Not if I make them forget.

[ She wants to wriggle out of saying those words because it reminds her of how Kylo tried to get her to do that to Keith. But here it is. On the table. Honesty. Wow. ]

I'll make sure it's discreet.

[secondnature]

[If only he knew.]

Okay.

Get someone who's being rude to the robots running the shops. I don't know how many of the bots around are sentient, but they don't deserve that.

[forcevisions]

[ She laughs. ]

I'll keep an eye out.

[secondnature]

Good.

[A pause.]

Thanks, Rey.

[forcevisions]

[ Gratitude for what she feels should be obvious ?? ? It takes her a beat to say— ]

Yeah. Of course. You know I'll help with whatever you need.
