"You might find something at the 13th Hour. There are older items for sale there, and it stocks a wide variety of things," Ben explains as he looks at the clock. "Wouldn't be surprised if there are some clocks and watches there. It's worth a look." Most of what Ben knows about Earth culture comes from the Nexus. It's as alien to him as he's sure things from his galaxy would be to Earth residents.

"I'm a permanent resident to the Nexus. Not by choice, but, well, it's an improvement over being dead back home." Ben laughs, with a hint of bitterness to it. He accepts the offered hand, trying to brighten a little. "Ben Solo. You can call me Ben. I spend most of my time in the downtown area, but I do go shopping sometimes."

Everyone needs to shop, even former darksiders. Ben's not as awkward in public as he was when he first came, thankfully, and he's grown used to the Nexus over time. It's a change that people here aren't scared of him. Granted, he's trying very hard to give them no reason to be.

"The Nexus isn't a bad place to live, but it's very, ah, exciting. And unpredictable. I've only been here for almost a year, and it's certainly something else. It sounds as if this is your first visit, Olivia."
