"From what I've seen, a lot of worlds here have things in common. Including similar problems in some cases." Ben listens curiously. "But some good things are there in common, too. I feel very lucky that we're having the conversation we are, and to have people in my life who care."

Ben shrugs a little. "Size isn't everything, obviously. Rey beat me in a fight twice, and I'm a head taller than her. It's a matter of how you use the skills you have and natural talent. We're...in sync. It's complicated, but we have a psychic bond that's unique to the two of us. We can talk to each other that way, and know how the other one is doing. It can be awkward, but it's also very helpful."

He leads the way, finding the place he's looking for about ten minutes ahead.
