decided to finally drag in this kid

[hatejakku]

Why am I here? Why are we even here?

You said you had projects to do. You said you had to eat something. Why are we doing this?

Like, okay, no, seriously, I appreciate it. All right? Thanks for waking me up or whatever. It's great. It really is. Except I don't really want any part of what you're planning. I'd just like to find Rey or- or someone and-

I don't even know where we are! I only just met people that I actually like, and now I'm here! I don't even know where Ren is! I don't know anything!

... Why aren't you talking!?

[Finn's having a meltdown. He's fine.]

Your master won't speak and mine won't stop pushing me. How funny that it all amounts to the same thing in the end. [Them being forced here.]

At least there might be a chance you'll get to meet more people you like. From what I know of the last person she brought to this place.

[hatejakku]

I'm not opposed to meeting more people, but I have to make sure I keep the ones I already got.

... Did you say master?

[No. Noooooooooooooooooooooooo. No. Let him rescue you. Because no.]

[earthmagic]

She thinks that a strange name, but it seems an honest one. She can bring me here against my will and do whatever she likes.

[She's had experience with that, though with this one she doesn't have to say it nicely.]

It's good that you want to try in the face of that.

[Not a thing she's used to, but she has learned to hope a little more. ]

[hatejakku]

Of course I want to try. They're my friends. They're important.

... Against your will and do what she likes. [Groan.] I'm hating this more and more by the second.

[earthmagic]

Then I hope your master shares those priorities.

[There's a little bit of guilt at possibly making him feel worse. It's still odd how bluntness is safe, and the impulse occasionally surprises her before she can head it off.]

I share your distaste. But perhaps there could be some good in it. And everything ends in time.

[That's not always a sad truth, she's learned.]
