[ooc: Haha, no worries. I know most people leave TFLN where it ends, but I figure it's worth a try to continue on if that's wanted. I'm slow, but I'll pretty much play him anywhere.]
[Once Rey has her mind set on something, there's nothing and no one that can persuade her otherwise. It's not like Ben could've kept his injuries a secret until they heal, so ...
Someone's going to get a scolding. Or worse.
He sends the names without putting up a fight. He's learned long ago that it does no good.]
[Ben genuinely wants to spend time with Rey - but he'd be a liar if he tries saying that he's not making an attempt to distract her from her anger. Truth be told, he likes that she's so up in arms about his situation, but he's meant it when he'd said it's not necessary to go looking for trouble on his behalf.
It's fine.
He's trying to prove that he's not the threat that he once was, that maybe he's not trustworthy yet, but he is serious about making inroads to becoming ...
Maybe not the man his parents had wanted him to be. But ... better than the man that he'd been.]

This is going to drive me insane, you know. Being stuck here like this.
Just promise that you're not going to get into any trouble on my behalf.
no subject
You want me to bring you anything? Ice cream? ... A book?
no subject
I'd like your company, if you don't have anything else to do.
no subject
Give me... 20 minutes? And you sure you don't want me to bring anything? I can stop by commissary on the way over.

I wouldn't say no to a sweet roll or two.

[ Around the estimated time, the door chime in his quarters go off, followed by Rey's muffled voice. ]
Ben? Don't try to get up, just unlock the door.
