As luck would have it, they had been in the vicinity of Canto Bight when his uncle commed to ask him a favor. Jacen had taken a leave of absence from the Jedi Order to set out on a journey to learn more about the Force, and hopefully figure out a way to send Rey back to her timeline in the process. Not that she seemed to be in a hurry to return; she'd been more than happy to help in the final stages of the war against the Yuuzhan Vong, fighting alongside him and Jaina and Luke and the other Jedi. And she'd been more than happy to say yes to a detour through Cantonica's main attraction to do something worthwhile for the Jedi — something about a Sith artifact having been unearthed and being traded. Because, really, who would be interested in Sith artifacts now? The galaxy at large was still recovering from the devastation the invaders had caused. But, perhaps, that too meant it was the perfect time for the ancient dark order to strike...

Jacen waited on the upper floor of the casino, having changed into a more appropriate attire for their clandestine mission. It felt odd, truthfully, since he'd not dressed so fancily since... well, a rather long time; over the years it had just been Jedi robes and flight jumpsuits and robeskins, all comfortable but scrappy. He tugged at the collar of his dress shirt uneasily as he watched the people mulling about below, brown eyes trying to see if there was anything out of the ordinary, since the Force seemed to indicate nothing but a steady pulse of activity.

Jacen might have been able to pull off dashing and debonair with ease but Rey - struggled. Perhaps if she stood perfectly still the dress would have seemed almost natural, but that was easier said than done. She didn't mean to look so odd as she walked towards Jacen, but she had to keep holding the back of the short hem down or she felt even stranger than she must have appeared. "I'm cold, am I supposed to be cold?" They had work to do but it was positively ridiculous that a woman was expected to do much of anything at all when she was worried about the location of her breast as it related to the artistically placed cut-out of what she wore.

"You look nice," she managed with a little smile giving Jacen a nod even as she continued to hold the back of her dress down. Maybe he could walk in front?
