Hee hee :3 I got a gold star!
XD oh my god I’m dumb I didn’t read the entirety of the “ask me” thing I relogged. The Star is to have me talk about a section of my choice! I’ll reblog again with a section. I just wanted to let you all know I realized my mistake lol
[They traveled for at least two hours, Ben wasn't sure of the exact amount, it was an odd experience to be sure. Whatever temporary understanding the beast had gained when their minds had touched was still holding true, it hadn't behaved aggressively in the slightest and even waited patiently when Ben had to frequently stop and rest.
"You need a name," Ben told the thing during one such break, while he munched on a ration bar, "I'm not going to keep calling you "lizard" in my head."
The lizard said nothing, obviously, and continued to float.
"I'm going to call you...Bruce."
Bruce said nothing, obviously, and continued to float.]
From chapter 4 of my Star Wars fic “The Hardest Path to Walk”. I don’t know why it is exactly but giving the random, giant, flat, space gator such a normal name really tickled me. I was delighted enough by Bruce that I really considered trying to find a way for him to show up again later X) I also got to write Ben being a little more relaxed and playful which is a rare thing, at least at this point in his recovery. You’ll see it more and more as the story goes on but one of my favorite things about Ben’s personality is that under it all he’s a bit of a dork, just like his Grandfather and his Dad.
