[WAIT IS THE REMAINING 20% A LITTLE BIT STALE OR IS THE WHOLE THING A LITTLE BIT (AKA 20%) STALE]

[Damn right, old man. Rey can't help looking a bit too self-satisfied about accurately predicting Qui-Gon's nonsense and getting a straight answer out of him, and she folds her arms smugly.]

And what are we meant to do about a supposedly haunted basement?

[YES]

[sithkabobed]

[Hubris, Rey. The word is hubris.]

Unhaunt it, of course.

[WELL THEN HOW CAN I REFUSE??]

[reyofsunshine]

[Damn it. Rey's face falls faster than a Sith into a bottomless chasm.]

Obviously. [If she sounds snippy, it's not an accident. Why you gotta steal her thunder, Qui-Gon?]

But how do we do that?

[YOU CAN'T]

[sithkabobed]

[See? Hubris. She got to learn a lesson before they even headed out!]

I would have to do some research first and see how the locals would handle the situation.

If you'd like to accompany me, you can. Otherwise, I'll return with what I've found before we head out.

[He says as if their plans are already cemented.]

[DAMN IT]

[reyofsunshine]

[This isn't the kind of lesson she wanted to learn!

Rey eyes Qui-Gon critically. On one hand, she didn't actually commit to doing this job with him. But on the other, if she did decide to do it and had to rely on him to give her the information he found while doing research....]

I'll go.

[She doesn't sound excited about it by any means, but it's definitely better than spending five hours asking increasingly frustrating questions from the least straightforward person Rey has ever met.]

[sithkabobed]

I'm happy to hear it.

[Even if she doubts Qui-Gon's sincerity with most other things, the smile that he gives Rey is fully genuine.]

Meet me by the front door when you're ready. I assume ten minutes will be enough time.
