Is it normal for things to be this...intense?

[The ghosts, the weird party thing that happened and now...now she isn't sure what to make of anything.]

Rather, is it normal for your old things to suddenly appear? I didn't think I would see it again after leaving Jakku, but...it's better than nothing.

Or, is it a trick and should I prepare for it to be something else? I would like to eventually use it, but if it's a trick....

[Nothing is given freely, especially her Speeder. How or why it's suddenly came to Riverview is beyond her. Does she dare trust it?]

[bringbackgold]

Really? I guess that could be true. Like learning another language.

[talentedscavenger]

Almost, more like, a slight variation. The main parts are there, just assembled differently.

[bringbackgold]

Ah. A dialect. I understand. Has it been difficult?

[ He relates to learning different languages. ]

[talentedscavenger]

[Learning different languages is something she's done in the past...and wouldn't rule out learning others.]

Yes, and no. It's more like trying to find that common foundation and then building it upon there.

Ship, could mean sea vessel and in most instances that's what people tend to think. Whereas for me, ship means spaceship. Vessel for space.

[bringbackgold]

Ah. That makes sense. I think of... the ones on water. Spaceships aren't really thing where I'm from except in science-fiction.

[talentedscavenger]

Science-fiction? I'm not familiar with the term.

[bringbackgold]

For me - it's stories told in the future. Typically with space ships, aliens, and things.

[ Not that he has much time to watch movies really. ]

[talentedscavenger]

Those things are in the present for me. Going to different star systems and the like.

[bringbackgold]

My world would be really boring for you.

[talentedscavenger]

What makes you think that?

[bringbackgold]

We don't have anything like that. It's just...us.

[talentedscavenger]

Which is fine? It wouldn't be the same, but...every planet, every world is different.

[bringbackgold]

It would think it'd be hard to have all of that opportunity only to find it gone.

[ He had a hard enough time sitting still after he spent five years traveling. ]

[talentedscavenger]

Possibly, but I could find something else to do.

[bringbackgold]

I guess I've never liked sitting still.

[talentedscavenger]

I take it you've traveled a lot? Or, you're used to working?

[bringbackgold]

Both. I travel a lot for my work, too. Not here,
though. So I imagine it'd be like that for others.

[talentedscavenger]

It takes some getting used to but, you find things to do. Unless your work was very specific?

[bringbackgold]

It was. Here...it's pretty sedentary. It's a change.

[talentedscavenger]

One you're not too pleased with, I take it?

[bringbackgold]

You got it. It's why I imagine it'd be hard for others.

[talentedscavenger]

It would be hard in the beginning, but depending on what other skills you have, you could do something else...

But it would still be hard nonetheless.

What was your skill? If you don't mind me asking.

[bringbackgold]

I don't mind. I'm a figure skater by profession.

[ He's starting to realize, though, more people don't know about it than do... ]

It's. Similar to dancing.

[talentedscavenger]

Figure skating? I'm not familiar with the term.

So...it's dancing? Do you dance with figures? Like objects?

[She's trying hard to imagine this and it's...it's odd to her, imagining someone dancing with like balls or other objects.]

[bringbackgold]

I'm finding a lot of people aren't.

It's on the ice. While on thin bladed shoes.

[ ...Welp. ]
