( It's been about a week since she was rescued and brought to the camp. The first mission hasn't happened yet but there is chatter about it coming up. The adults seem busy and stressed, and Leia is bored except for finding new ways to use her budding Heba power of Robotics Mastery. However, she feels limited in growing her skill by practice and application without a proper supply flow and, importantly, tools and a workshop. Sure, there is an armory and related things at the camp, but someone almost always shoes her away, and she wants her own place to focus and do what she wants. The precocious ten year old also thinks she is full of great ideas, and will happily tell you that herself.

The feed shows her in her room. Her hair is cleaned and done up the way she likes it again, braided like a crown on her head. She is wearing a flowing white blouse, pushed up at the arms, with a thick leather belt around her waist - sadly, she hasn't found Lola or Tala's holster she was given by Obi-Wan back home, so the belt is more a fashion accessory. Leia also has on loose emerald pants that cling closer to the leg at the bottom, tucked into brown - also leather - boots that she doesn't love but work for now.

Her room looks almost completely empty and unused despite having been at the camp a week (she been staying with Obi-Wan, mostly, and finding excuses to have sleepovers with nice people), except for some tools she ~~stole~~ acquired and a growing heap of mechanical scraps, wires, electronic bits, and generally related doodads and whatchamacallits. She looks very pleased with herself.

ooc: prose instead and switching to action 100% welcome! )

Hi everyone. It's Leia again. So, I have a question. Well...I guess it's also a request. I want to make a droid shop out of my room, so I can build and repair things and help people! But I need help turning my room into a workshop, and I need a LOT more supplies. I wanted to know if anyone would help me so I can help everyone else too!

She moved nimbly and surprisingly fast for someone under four feet tall with little legs. She was also excited for any excuse to go outside and feel safer having someone with her.

Plus, Ezra seemed nice and they were from the same world, though she didn’t know it wasn’t the same time yet. She nodded at his words.

“That makes sense. You remind me of Ben like that. He’s very careful because people don’t seem to like Jedis very much.”

Ezra double checked that there was no one obviously nearby and then ducked to a kneeling crouch, so he can talk very quietly.

"Yeah. The Empire hunts Jedi and other force-sensitives. And Rebels, of course. I'm just trying to keep us safe."

Her eyes get big. "Yeah, I saw that when I was with Ob-Ben. We met an Inquisitor called Third Sister. I'm glad we have you to help keep people safe."

She thinks.

"What does Force sensitive mean?"

He pressed his lips together. "I'm sorry you ran into an Inquisitor. That was back home? They usually seem to like to hurt people. And I do know Ben's full name."

As for her question. He paused, trying to figure how to answer. "Do you know anything about the Force?"

She looked apologetic. “I know, but I’m trying to get better at not accidentally letting it slip. Just to keep him safe.”

Obviously it was her keeping him safe. For sure. No doubt.

“I think the Inquisitor was scared. She didn’t seem like the others…even if she did try to kill me.”

._.

A thought, “Well… I know Ben said it’s like when you turn a light on in the dark and feel safe. And that Some people can use it but not most people. Do you think I could ever use the Force?”

"I suspect all the Inquisitors are scared, deep down," Ezra said, very gently. "But if she wasn't liking hurting people, that's good. Maybe she'll figure out doing things like trying to kill you won't make her less scared, and she'll stop."

Then he smiled. "Like a light. That's true." He climbed to his feet. "Come on, let's walk, and we can talk more about the Force in private, ok?"

Leia was pretty sure something bad had happened to the Inquisitor. Or at the very least, that she got fired.

She nodded agreeably at the suggestion and admired the jungle around them while they walked further away from the camp, little legs doing their best to keep up. “How long have you known Ben?”

"Oh, well, that one's tricky," Ezra admitted, as he kept his pace leisurely.

"You know how some of the people here come from places where everything seem to work really differently?"

She nodded at Ezra’s question, stopping to pick up a nice stick to swish around in the air lightly as they walked.

“…Yes. I’ve met people from different worlds and different times. And some of them know each other too.”

Even though she was still confused about the time part. But still.

"You know about the time thing already," Ezra replied, relieved. That made this conversation a little easier.

"Ok. So. I'm actually from later than you. And Ben for that matter. I've met you both before, back home. Just, you know, older than you are now."

"I don't really understand it," she admits. "But I guess it's not any weirder than people from places that don't exist." Don't exist in your world, Leia, not at all.

She stabs at the ground, then looks at Ezra in fascination. "You did? How old was I? What was I like? ...Please tell me I don't have to be a Senator."

"I was sixteen and I think you were too? Maybe a little older. Last I checked your father was still Alderaan's senator," he hazarded.

"And about a year after that is when I met Ben."

It relieved her to know the people she loved were safe and well six years from now, considering the amount of trouble they were always in and how many enemies they seemed to have. She didn’t even have a quarter of that whole picture yet.

“How did you meet Ben?” Leia is here for all the stories.

"I. Uh. I thought I was warning him about someone who was after him. But I did all pretty stupidly," he admitted with a sheepish grin.

"And he ended up rescuing me instead. And he didn't actually need my help."
