Who: Leai and Gray!Ben
Where: Leia's quarters
When: A little while after this thread
What: Leia has a special gift for Ben
Warnings: Probably none other than family feels

It wasn't often Leia specifically asked Ben to come to her quarters. Mostly because it was rarely necessary; it was easy enough for them to find each other on the base if they needed or wanted to. Sometimes Ben would come to her, sometimes she to him, but it was seldom in either of their own rooms. The request hadn't been anything especially urgent; just 'if he had time' that evening, and if not, she'd said that was fine. They could always find another night.

But the unusual nature of the request would likely make it stand out. As would the emotions drifting through the Force when it was made. Warmth, love, hints of excitement and an odd sort of nostalgia... What exactly was Leia planning? There was only one way to find out...

Ben's first thought was that it was somehow some kind of Force-related business. He was tired of discussing the Force with most people, but he was getting used to it being inescapable. At least with Rey and Poe he could get snarky about it. Then, as he reached out through the Force, he didn't sense the usual emotions his mother had regarding the Jedi, training or other such topics, and that was a relief in and of itself.

He arrived late in the evening, after Rey and Poe had demanded he sit down and actually eat. It would be a stretch to say he enjoyed trying to force down meals more regularly, but he managed, with their help. He looked better these days; better rested, better fed, and less angry, even if he arrived wearing one of Poe's jackets because they were starting to swap clothes at this point due to sheer carelessness.

He knocked on the door to his mother's quarters, confused and intrigued. "Mother? You wished to see me?"
