     After everything was said and done, Ben still wasn’t certain what the future was going to hold. Rey was alive, Palpatine was gone, he was on borrowed time, and he couldn’t begin to process it all at once. Part of him wanted to ask what Rey was going to do now that the galaxy seemed to be in less danger but he didn’t. 

They’d long since returned to a nearby Resistance ship and Ben couldn’t find it in him to celebrate the victory. It wasn’t his place. He’d contributed to so much over the past few years that celebrating among them would be a slap in their faces. So he stayed near the edge of the room, drinking whatever he could find and watching the others.

  The youth heard of her, but he never had the chance to meet her especially with all the commotion. Honestly he was shoved left and right, doing other things. Getting lost in the mixture. It was hard to keep up at times.

   In her presence he found himself losing his words. Usually he was quirky- obnoxious maybe, with his words, but his mind blanked.  It was strange, yes,but he was cautious. Not that he was afraid of her, more or so, he felt he was possibly force sensitive to ....or possibly just confused. Yet he had no one to talk to about it. Due to being so sheltered. 

“ I uh...I hope I am not interrupting anything.
