Day Off (Rey and Yasmeen)
Rey takes the day off. Yasmeen encounters an old friend.
There’s nothing to do today.
On Jakku, there was always something to do — something newly-unearthed to scrap, a new find to fix. The Madonna Inn was far more contained than Rey’s desert planet home; unless a door was opened to another world, there was little to explore outside of the hotel itself and the desert that surrounded it — and Rey had not found anything to salvage in its sands.
She’d checked the hotel’s major appliances for any failures (there were none) and for any messages left on the maintenance line overnight (none there, either) before deciding she would take the day off. With her slacks rolled up to the top of her knees, she sits at the pool’s edge, her legs stretched out in the cool water.
