What She's Worth

The first time Ben Solo saw her was from behind his uncle, peering up from the hiding place that was Luke Skywalker's cloak.

She was a tiny creature. Inconsequential really, with expressive brown eyes and dark brown hair that was tied in two buns at the base of a scrawny neck. The daughter of a friend left in his care, his uncle had said.

He had dismissed her as quickly as he had laid eyes on her. Just another student in Luke's Jedi academy. The only youngling in a sea of fellow adolescents. Far too young to be worth any attention.

But there was...something.
