Phasma's flat was on the nicer side of town. Judging by the size and furnishings, Tiberinus must pay very handsomely.

Phasma changed from her armor into a pair of gray sweatpants and a black cropped tank top.

"Tea?" She offered them as she bustled around her kitchen. Ben sat glumly on the couch, eyeing the pink decorative pillows with disdain.

Rey sat down next to Ben on the couch with her tea while Phasma sat across them on a white settee.

"So exactly where have you two been these last few months?" She asked, taking a hearty sip of her tea while she awaited their answer.

"We've been on Coruscant." Rey replied.

"Mmm. A busy planet for sure. Keeping a low profile I take it?"

Rey nodded.

"Neither of us really leave the apartment. Luckily for us Luke does most of the shopping."

"Luke?" Phasma asked, lowering her cup. "As in Luke Skywalker?" She eyed Ben curiously.

"He's still alive?"

"Yes."

"And you two are living with him?"

"Yes. And Ben's mother."

Phasma almost dropped her saucer.

"Good gracious Ben, you've changed quite a bit!"

Ben narrowed his eyes at Phasma.

"Your mother is still in charge of the Resistance I take it?" She asked next.

Rey continued to answer the questions.

"Yes. There's been rumors of the First Order trying to revive itself. That's why we're here."

Phasma pursed her lips as she finished her tea. She stood up, reaching for Rey's tea cup. Rey handed it back to her.

"I'm honestly surprised there hasn't been more First Order activity." She said as she took the teacups back to the kitchen.

"Hux must be planning an epic retaliation to have kept quiet this long."

"Oh that's right." Rey said. "Hux is dead."

"That explains a lot." She mused. "All right, which one of you was it?" She asked.

Ben looked at Rey. Rey slowly raised her hand.

"You? I'm impressed."

She looked at Ben.

"You two are certainly rubbing off on each other, aren't you?"

Rey glanced at Ben and blushed.

"If you want this Jubba bird chase over with I suggest we all get to bed. And no funny business. I know how loud you guys can be and I am a light sleeper." She said pointedly.

Rey slept horrible. When she woke up she couldn't tell if it was nerves, the late night tea, or the too soft bed that had kept her tossing and turning all night. Her stomach was in knots as she readied for the day.

"Let's get this over with." Ben said grumpily as they loaded into Phasma's transport.

"You seem to really dislike Corellia." Rey commented to Ben as they buckled into the familiar transport.
