Rey and Kylo stagger up the ramp into the dry interior of the Falcon. They collapse on the benches around the Dejarik table.
"I thought you said the Falcon was parked nearby," griped Kylo as he leaned his head back against the wall, eyes closed. "Nearby doesn't normally include a stroll down 999 crudely cut into a shear cliff stone steps during a thunderstorm." He cracks open an eye and glares at her. "Though the lightning did help to illuminate the potential fall to the rocks and waves below that I just barely missed taking multiple times."
"This as close as it gets," Rey muttered. She crossed her arms on the Dejarik table and flopped her head down on them. "We made it down and we're relatively safe in the Falcon. Quit grumbling."
"I went from floating in the Force to lying on a cold stone floor, in pain, and then risked my life climbing down to the hunk of junk my father called a ship. I'm wet, cold and dressed in a dirty, bloody, torn First Order uniform. I smell like sulphur and other odors I'm not going to attempt to describe. Who's griping?"
"You are." replied Rey. "Can you find the fresher? There's clean clothing in there for you. And hurry up if you don't mind because I'm wet and cold too."
A short while later they are both cleaned up and warming up in the galley with cups of hot chai.
"So let me see if I got this straight," said Kylo. "We fought Palpatine, you died, I brought you back to life, I died and you've been trying to bring me back for the last 8 months."
"Yes. Though I would like to point out that the dyad Force bond made you mostly dead instead of completely dead."
"What's the difference?" asked Kylo.
"Mostly dead means you're slightly alive. Completely dead means I can check for a wallet and steal your watch."
Kylo closed his eyes for a 10 count to regain his composure.
"And you did this why?"
"Well, as best as I could discover from the skimpy information available on the subject, the two members of a dyad need to be both alive or both dead." replied Rey. "If one is alive and one is dead then it puts incredible stress on the alive member."
"And you didn't have a particular desire to die."
"No, I'm not really suicidal."
"So what are your plans now that I am back from the dead -"
"Mostly dead," interrupted Rey.
"Mostly dead," agreed Kylo with a sigh.
"I'm not really sure," confessed Rey."
"At this point I'm not sure if I'm impressed or appalled."
"Go with impressed. It's less painful."
"By the way, should I ask where you found a First Order Supreme Leader uniform that fits me perfectly?"
"I'm a scavenger Kylo. Do you really want to know?"
"No, no. I think I'm fine."
