[ She could use the network's messaging feature to call Kylo, but why do that when she has a much more direct way to reach him? She's considered it many times since she dropped the walls around their connection she'd been keeping up, but she had been unsure of how he would feel about her reaching out. She finds she doesn't care as much, now.

So she reaches out to him, pulling gently on that thread that connects them, just to see if he'll reply. She'd only done it once before in the hut on Ahch-To, and it had been so easy then. Like that connection had always been there. ]

[ If you asked Kylo what he was doing when he felt that gentle tug on the bond, he would not be able to say. Nearly dropping it all as Rey reached out to him.

Not that he is complaining, when he lets her through, his face relaxing into a neutral expression.

And he's clothed, this time. ]

Rey. [ a beat, while he considers his next words. They might be on better footing now after all that has happened, but given he's not sure what she would like to speak on, tread carefully. ] Is everything alright?

[provenforce]

[ She smiles as he appears, relieved that he's there to answer. ]

Everything's fine. This is probably not the best use of the Force, but I was just wondering... [ She bites her lip, unsure of herself. ]

Are you going to go to the Snake Den parties?

[dyaddyissues]

It's fine.

[ He inclines his head slightly to the side, pausing. ]

I hadn't actually thought of it, no.

Why do you ask?

[provenforce]

I thought we could go. [ pause ] Together.

[dyaddyissues]

[ did he mishear that or ]

You... do?

[provenforce]

[ oh no he hates the idea ]

I-if you don't want to I understand. I just thought, the dress I was given is too nice for me to just... wear around while I'm cleaning up after porgs.

[dyaddyissues]

I don't hate the idea... what I mean to say is. I mean, yes, I will go with you.

[ good job Kylo ]

[provenforce]

[ She'd been worried he wouldn't want to spend time with her that wasn't violence-motivated in some way, hearing him say he'll go with her makes her smile again. ]

You will? Really?

[dyaddyissues]

Is that so surprising?

[ ... ]

Wait. Don't answer that.

[provenforce]

[ Rey bites back a smile, shaking her head. ]

Okay. Do you want to meet there?

[dyaddyissues]

Why don't we meet and go together?

[provenforce]

[ She'd given him the meet there as a sort of out if he ended up not wanting to be seen with her, but to arrive together, well. Biting her lip she nods. ]

I'd like that.

[dyaddyissues]

So it's settled. I'll ah, I'll see you before the party, then.

[provenforce]

Okay.

[ Rey almost can't believe how well this conversation went. The butterflies in her stomach haven't subsided, but she feels warm, excited. ]

It's a date.
