"You know, I have a cousin who's probably your age," Jaina says softly from her booth. She picks up a honeywafer from her plate and dips it in her mug of caf.
Jaina shakes his hand, chuckling softly to herself.
She doesn't have that much experience with kids, aside from a handful of days spent helping at the Academy in her life. But if Jaina's going to start spending more time teaching the children there she might as well start somewhere.
"Well, Robbie Preston, would you like a honeywafer?"
"A Corellian cookie," she replies, floating the plate to her lap with the Force. "Dad used to get them for us when I was a kid. They're some of my favorites.
It's not that bad a combination.
"He comes here often. A Ben Skywalker?"

He smiles, she seems like a nice lady-however nervous he might be.

Jaina takes a bite of the honeywafer in her hand before continuing. "I'm Jaina."

He holds out a hand, "-I'm Robbie. Robbie Preston."
He had a difficult time making friends, but he's a genuinely friendly kid.

He's studying her with the aire of a scientist.

"Would you like to try one?"

Floating. Plate. Plates don't float.
"....sure."
Robbie grins brightly-a bit uncharacteristically. He's just a little bit spooked.

"Take it you've never seen a Jedi before, eh?"

And the Mun has an image of Jedi being secret police in some dystopia somewhere and dies because-isn't that who Darth Vader Technically was?
But that's another world and another time.
"-That's a really neat trick though."

And the mun giggles at the idea of Jedi being secret police in a dystopia.
Jaina gives him a genuine smile. It's been a long while since someone thought levitating a plate was a 'neat trick'. "Thank you."
Reply
He probably assumes it's a magic trick.
"-Is it hard?"
Seems like the next logical step.

Jaina pauses for a second, shaking her head when she realizes Robbie probably wouldn't have much clue what she was talking about.
"Did Ben mention any of this to you?"
