* WINTER / DISCONTENT.

Jaina crossed her legs under her before replying to Leia. “Jaina, Jaina Solo.” She felt a connection to this woman that couldn’t be explained by any sense of logic. She brushed her hair behind her ears before sighing. “What’s your name? You look familiar…”

‘ solo . ‘ not entirely registering her first name... --- all that matters is the latter. her familiarity becoming clearer the closer she inspected; there was no denying that han was visibly present in her facial structure. her eyes. an essence that reverberated back in her own. pulling. she had the genes of that scruffy nerf-herder. taking a pregnant pause, drawing in an inhale before the air parted her lips, “ leia. “ forcing a smile at the reveal. “ --  i didn’t know han had any family. relations “ besides our son.

❝ tatooine ?? unlikely, that place has nothing to offer, ❞ kylo scoffed as he entered the shop and moved the bell away from her. not that he’d been personally but he’d heard luke speak of it often enough when they were still on speaking terms. kylo’s eyes landed on the woman and he felt himself freeze, he knew that face and presence, it was the same one that made him hesitate during the attack on the resistance convoy, his mother’s. except she, or whoever this was, was way too young and closer to jaina’s age than the general’s. steeling himself, he folded his arms across his chest. ❝ what can i help you with ?? ❞

“ my brother would disagree. “ her tone light, though, her brother was a topic that was usually left unsaid. especially being planets away. shrugging, “ you must have a problem with sand. “ a bit of skywalker humor -- at least from what pooja naberrie, her cousin, had spoken of her father’s disdain for that planet. leaning against the counter, her chin resting on her palm. being suitable was not in her repertoire, as of late, and her curiosity was persistent. at least he knew of the heated planet. “ my boss has an appointment. something about his contraption needing maintenance. “ rambling off as she put the keys on the counter. she wasn’t strong in the ways of the force, leia was well aware. but this couldn’t be her usual persistence nagging her. this isn’t a normal encounter, baiting him again with an intense glance,  “ it looks more complicated than an aegis gunship. --- i know you. “

     “ do you not  see  any of this ?  the way they move, talk like we’re not even  here  it’s so.. weird. ”

“ wait. what are we looking at ? “ her preoccupation focusing on the coffee cup in her hands. the warmth radiating from the styrofoam, a better distraction than whatever was bothering her friend. finally, kairi’s glance a bit blank as she took her chance to look up. “ who are we talking shit about now ? “ 

Offering a warm smile, she looks down and laughs a little. “Oh, I-I was just wondering if you wanted a candid photo, but it’s alright if you don’t, of course, I wouldn’t force anybody to do anything.” Melinda explains as she licks her lips. “Don’t mind me." 

Jaina took a proper look at the other woman as she spoke, brows furrowing in confusion. The woan in front of her was a near spitting image of herself (sans the unruly hair, that was all Han), but it didn’t make sense. Her mother was in her sixties, while the woman in front of her was closer to Jaina’s own age. “No,” Jaina shook her head. “Not even close.’ A pause. “I’m fine by the way, thank you for asking…”

intimidation was merely a tactic ( an art form ), usually in political negotiations with a room full of wookies, but not here. &. not with this woman. this woman. on closer inspection she couldn’t have been any older than herself. working with law enforcement on this foreign planet wasn’t easy, neither was being a princess. yet, she had to have some connection towards a galaxy that seemed far, far away. taking the initiative, leia took the empty seat across from the woman. “ i didn’t catch your name ? “

“new-ish.” she nodded her head in agreement, listening as the other brunette spoke, a sigh escaping her lips “i know. i’ve tried. i’ve been trying.” she shrugged her shoulders. there wasn’t much more she wanted besides getting home to her family. “yeah. and mom, but she’s off wherever recruiting. though dad’s probably told her i’m missing.”

a soft chuckle, “ new-ish. “ repeating the word, it was funny. an adjective fitting both, it seemed. it just felt more like an eternity in limbo. “ family... can be difficult. especially when it feels like you’ve been kidnapped and feel pretty damn hopeless. “ speaking with a hint of disdain etching her attempt at an explanation. there was no rationale. “ watch, your family will never let you go and you’ll be begging for a reprieve again. “ she spoke. nell’s poor attempt to try &. lighten the mood. 

“dude, im a bartender. Not your shrink. I’m just here to pour your drinks.”

Did you see TIFA LOCKHART from FINAL FANTASY VII walking around Limbo? The CISFEMALE looks like JENNIE KIM, and is TWENTY-TWO years old. I’ve heard she can be EMPATHETIC but also RETICENT. They’ve been here WITH their memories as a PERSONAL TRAINER for SIX MONTHS. I heard they’re still trying to figure out how they ended up in Limbo.
