Hazard of Reylo Hearts

Chapter Four

Shortly after their conversation had ended Lord Solo had arranged for a team of people to enter the estate to do what; she knows not. Rey immediately went to her room to pack up the last of her things and depart for her new home. Maz had left a while ago to help make the transition easier. She doubted it would make the change from her only home to her new one filled with unfamiliar people, routines and the truly frightening thoughts of what will become of her. What is Lord Solo's mother like? What type of planet is Naboo? So many questions with no answers as of yet. Rey is a curious creature by habit; she is sure to find answers soon enough.

Just as Rey was about to board the Falcon, Lord Solo appears out of nowhere his hand gently resting on her lower back guiding her to the lounge area where BB-8 is resting at a power station. Just as quickly as he arrived he departs to another area of the ship. To add to the list of things plaguing her mind is why he is not having a need to supervise the work he has ordered to be done. She doesn't linger on that too long. The ship takes off rather smoothly and some time passes before Rey couldn't bear to sit there quietly for any longer. She gets up and starts exploring the vessel. It isn't big which she regards as rather odd. Don't all Lords of large ships to show off their wealth and status. Rey doesn't mind the size; it looks perfect for exploring the universe without people noticing who you are. On the outside it looks really old but on the inside perfectly renovated to a modern style. She wonders just how many places this ship has been too. Maybe she could ask someone at the new house.

Her exploring finds her to an open cockpit area where she spots Lord Solo and a servant flying the vessel. He knows how to fly, wow! Immediately a thought of the both of them flying the universe together laughing passes her mind and she gasps at the idea. This alerts them to her presence and she becomes awkward. Her mouth opening and closing like a fish. Lord Solo turns and flashes her a small smile. This stops her gasping and she just stares at him. Never having seen this expression from him before, he must enjoy flying to not guard his expression. Then again he thinks she is sitting in the lounge so why would he have a need to hide his feelings. He turns from Rey and whispers something to the servant; he gets up and in a couple short strides he is standing so close to her. She takes in a deep breath not sure when she stopped and taking in his cologne and a scent so undeniably him. He places his hand on her lower back again and guides her back to the lounge; only this time he joins her.

"You look troubled?" he questions, looking a little worried. He is showing so much emotion it fascinates Rey to no end.

"Not at all, my Lord. Just curious. The last time I was in a ship similar to this I was quite distracted. I hope you don't mind but I did a little exploring. It feels so homey in here, I like it very much"

"I am glad to hear it. It was my father's before he passed away. I made a couple modifications but it is mostly unchanged. I wasn't raised in the friendliest of environments and my father would let me play in here. As I got older he started teaching how to fix it and fly it. Now the Falcon is more an escape to let my mind wonder"

"I can see that. You are so unguarded here. The mask you wear is almost gone" Rey replies with a gentle smile.

"What is bothering you Miss Kenobi? I can see conflict in your eyes not matter how hard you are trying to hide it"

"As you know my life has been so solely focused on Jakku but Lord Dameron has told me of Naboo. Whilst he has never been there, others have spoken to him of its beauty. I am most curious to explore your home" she explains a very small fraction of what has crossed her mind.

"But it is not all that plagues your pretty little head. What else worries you?" he presses as she blushes.

"My most pressing worry is your mother, sir. What will she think of my new arrangements?" Rey looks up into his eyes letting him see just how worried she is. There is a moment of pause as they lock eyes again.
