Ask Star Wars 3!!! (continuation) ON HOLD

From MoonDash21:

For Kylo Ren:

*I was...speechless. He did have a tender side, the rumors weren’t--well, just rumors. A blush spread across my cheeks realizing how close he had been to me. Oh gods, what was that? That WEIRD fluttering feeling in my stomach! And how did watching my boss, clad in all black, standing over me make me feel like I wanted to melt into a puddle? I took a deep breath, gathering my wits. He always invaded personal space, it was his way of intimidation and the adrenaline probably made him softer than usual. It was nothing personal, definitely not what I was thinking. It couldn’t be…*

Wait up! *I called, my head snapping up and noticing I had been left behind. I jogged up beside Kylo and rose to my tiptoes to at least attempt to whisper into his ear.* Do you trust her? I mean, I don’t. She lied to me...but I feel like she’s telling the truth. Or at least part of it.

Kylo: I don't trust her the least. I'm just curious on what she has to say about you but especially me.

*I bit my lip and pulled away from Kylo and followed the lady into a small shop. Lights of all sorts of decorations hung from the ceiling. The walls were metal, as most cheap shops were in downtown Chandrila. Dust and rust-covered the walls and shelves were attached to them too. Lots of strange-looking knick-knacks lined the shelves and odd bottles. The glowing lanterns hung very low from the ceiling and I nearly hit my head on one. And I was short! I had to brush one out of my face but I ended up hitting Kylo on the cheek. I snorted.* Sorry.

Kylo: *glared but he knew it was an accident, which is why he didn't comment*

“We don’t have all night, you two! Come along!” *I frowned at the old lady and she stepped behind a counter and through old, tattered curtains. Reluctantly, I followed her and held the curtains open for Kylo to pass through. Inside the room, there was a small, round table in the center. There candles lit in every corner of the room and flowers sat in a black vase in the middle of the table. There were four chairs...almost like she was expecting us.* “Please, take a seat. Does anyone want a drink?”

We don’t have time--

*Zac raised his hand happily.* “Ooh! Me! What do you have?”

Kylo: *rolled his eyes* Such a child.

*The old woman raised a brow and grabbed a kettle.* “Tea.”

*Zac lowered his hand slowly, a pout forming on his lips.* “I’ll wait for the bar… Thanks, though.”

*I didn’t sit down. I had a gnawing feeling in my gut and recent events had taught me to listen to my gut.* Can we just hurry this up, please? Time to talk, lady. What’s wrong with me?

“This lady has a name, you know.” *She snapped. I had half a mind to snap back at her but I held my composure.*

Sorry, my bad. What’s your name? *I ground out, sarcasm dripping from my voice*

Kylo: *subtly touched your arm, reminding you to stay calm before letting go*

“I have many names but you can call me Auri.”

Okay, Ms. Auri. What do you have to say? Because honestly...my patience is running thin and I have quite a high tolerance.

“Of course dear…”

Stop calling me dear!

“My answer is quite simple.” *She sits down and uses her cane to poke Kylo.* “The Force is strong within him. It flows throughout his very being. His mind and soul are equipped to store and channel massive amounts of the Force. You, my dear, do not have that luxury.”
