The tension in the Falcon was palpable. Hux and Kylo Ren sat opposite each other, legs crossed and arms folded. They could hear Rey and Rose chatting in the cockpit, but about what, they weren't too sure. 1/9
A few minutes after take off, they rejoined Hux and Ren.
“Officially, as far as the galaxy is concerned, Armitage Hux died during the battle of Exegol. So the question becomes: Where do you want to go?” Rey stated, taking a seat beside Ren.

“Where are you going, Rey?” Rose asked.
Rey and Ren exchanged looks. “We're going to Tatooine. Master Luke grew up there, so we're going to restore the home and farm moisture.”
Hux raised an eyebrow. “You're going to farm moisture?”
Ren half shrugged.

“It's a good place to lie low. People don't tend to look too closely at you.”
Hux thought for a moment while watching Millie curled up in Rose's lap.
“I'd like to go to Batuu,” Rose said while absently stroking Millie's fur. “I can easily find work there.

There's nothing left for me on Hays Minor. Besides, it would be nice to live somewhere warmer for a change.”
Hux reached over to scratch under Millie's chin. “Batuu it is, then.”
Rose gave him a curious look.

“That cat doesn't seem to want to be parted from you, and I don't want to be parted from her. Therefore, it looks like I will also be going to Batuu with Miss Tico.”

A few hours later, the Falcon descended into one of the docking bays at Black Spire.
6/9
Rose and Hux walked down the ramp carrying what few possessions they had. Millie sat happily on Rose's shoulder.
“Where to first?” Rose asked as she used her hands to block the sun from her eyes.
“The market first. We can pick up any supplies we need.
7/9
Then find a speeder and head out to Galma.”
“Galma? What's out there?”
“I hear skilled mechanics are in need there.” Hux nudged her shoulder with his arm.
And...was that a smile on his face?
He held out his hand to her, holding his breath. Would she take it?
8/9
Rose hesitated for a fraction of a second, then took his hand in hers.
“I think first, we should find something to eat. I can hear your stomach growling.”
Hux chuckled. “Very well. So long as it's not fish.” 9/9
