I've never seen so many animals in all my life. Where I'm from, there's no wildlife. None. This place is amazing. [ playing the part. be calm, paige. you'll find your way.]  Although, I'm feeling wobbly as a mother Gorgybird.

[ it's the best thing she can think to say, that might attract the attention of anyone in the Resistance. it's not quite the most accurate signal but it's good enough for this situation.]

Does anyone know where I can see or find more?

[ she laughs at that.]

You're not half bad. Have you ever seen a fathier?

[realists]

Only in storybooks

[starfortress]

I've always wanted to ride one. Can you imagine how fast they must be?

[ keeping the talk innocent somehow makes this place seem so daunting. bonding over animals with someone helps that too. helps that hole in her heart where rose should be.]

[realists]

[ not fast enough to not be used as racing animals... ]

I've always liked smaller animals.

[starfortress]

My grandmother had a pet tooka.

[ attachment.]

[realists]

I almost had a tooka.

[ but SHE RETURNED IT to the little girl it belonged to because jyn erso will take any excuse to beat up storm troopers, even if it's rescuing a stray tooka. ]

I lived on a planet with bulbas.

[starfortress]

You're lucky you got to see one.

[ all she she had were stuffed animal versions.]

Haha. I don't know if that's a good or bad thing.

[realists]

Good. They're sweet.

[ ATTACHMENT ]

They have a symbiotic relationship with one of the plants native to the planet.

[starfortress]

Really? I don't know much about them, only that they are rodents.


I'm Paige, by the way.

[realists]

Tiny rodents.

I'm Jyn.

[starfortress]

Where are you from?

[realists]

Lah'mu, in the Outer Rim.

[starfortress]

Sounds sort of familiar... I'm from Hays Minor, the mining colony in the Otomok system.

[realists]

I don't think I've ever been there. I don't like the cold.

[starfortress]

Then you'd hate it there. It was freezing. And always twilight. We had to wear goggles for a while after we escaped.

[realists]

Escaped?

[starfortress]

The First Order choked the life out of and then destroyed it.

[realists]

[ like fest and jedha and tamsye prime... hays minor is in good company. ]

They learned from the Empire.

[starfortress]

Too well.

[realists]

They've been stopped before, they will be stopped again.

[ ur planet is still dead but like?? silver lining? ]

[starfortress]

I hope my friends get a chance to do so.

[realists]

[ she squints at that particular phrasing. ]

Not you?

[starfortress]

I don't think I make it.

[realists]

[ oh. ]

I've heard your name will go on a wall.
