Sounds like I should have come with you. You got the easy job.

[followhim]

what's happening with nama?

[forcevisions]

Rebels. It sounds like they want her to declare war.

[followhim]

not surprising, considering everything. when you say rebels, you mean ... what are they doing?

[forcevisions]

They're holding the empress hostage and demanding a declaration of war.

[followhim]

that's

yeah, that's bad.

how are you guys gonna get her out?

[forcevisions]

Gumption.

[ in other words, she has no idea. ]

I think if we can get past the wall, sneaking through the castle shouldn't be hard. We just need to figure a clean way in.

[followhim]

i'd they probably have some sort of side or back entrance, for staff or servants and that kind of thing, but first you gotta get past the wall. can you climb it?

[forcevisions]

Thanks.
I wasn't actually looking for advice, though.

[ like she doesn't doubt his expertise — he's a resistance leader. so she means the thanks. but she's also decided to go with the force on this one already and, well.

he can't help with that and looks down on her for using it so. :) ]

[followhim]

[SIGHS HE DOES NOT LOOK DOWN ON HER FOR USING THE FORCE

but he would not be down for her sketchy fuckin plan so that's probably a good call tbh.]

oh. uh, all right.

anything else you wanted to talk about?

[forcevisions]

[ it's more of a thing shaped like a plan than a plan. ]

Nothing specific ...

[ now it's awkward. did she make it awkward or did he make it awkward? ]

Just checking in to make sure you guys were alright. I heard something about a forest spirit?

[followhim]

[i was placing this pre-forest spirit since i didn't know if poe was going to survive fighting a bear and/or kylo ren or not but it's probably fine so

also: it's rey's fault. ftr. ]

oh, that? nothing we couldn't handle. it was huge, though. looked like a big-ass bird with arms and legs.

[forcevisions]

And the ogres and other wildlife that joined it?

[followhim]

you mean the orges that were attacking us because of the forest spirit? what about them? kinda hard to reason with an ogre when it's coming at you.

[forcevisions]

I didn't say anything about reasoning with them. I'm just worried about you. It didn't sound like nothing.

[followhim]

i said it was nothing to worry about. there was a problem, we took care of it, it's not a problem anymore.

[forcevisions]

Then what's wrong?

[followhim]

nothing? why do you think something's wrong?

[forcevisions]

Because you sound really defensive.

[followhim]

you're the one who sounds

no, i know what this is. you shut me out and it bothered me. sorry. i wasn't trying to be defensive.

[forcevisions]

[ congrats she was wholly unprepared for honesty. ]

I wasn't trying to shut you out. I'm just used to taking care of things myself.

[followhim]

yeah, i get that. but you don't have to ... do everything alone all the time, you know? we're a team. you don't have to listen to me, but i've got your back if you need me. even all the way over here.

[forcevisions]

[ what rey hears: 'we're a team as long as you conform to this narrow range of acceptable behavior i have for you.' ]

You're right.

I'm not worried about getting around once we're past the wall. It's the wall that's the trouble. They have guards posted, and no apparent rotation. I've been watching for hours.

[followhim]

[all he wanted was for her not to torture ppl??????]

what? that's crazy. they can't just have one set of guards posted the whole time. either they have long shifts or they're just decoys or something.

[forcevisions]

No, they're rotating. But not with any regularity. Sometimes they'll rotate to a lesser number, sometimes to more. Sometimes the same people will come back. It's like there's no schedule.
