Luke sat at a table in the observation deck, chin resting in the palm of one hand. It was an attitude he'd never really abandoned in all his years, and one that had always made him look incredibly boyish--or so Mara had said.
So much had happened since the latest podpop. Two faces he thought he'd never see again had shown up, but neither knew him--they were from a time earlier than Luke had even existed. Obi-Wan was happier than Luke had known him, with a kind of vitality that told just how deeply the ravages of a prolonged war, and Anakin's fall, had affected him.
Anakin... Luke's blue eyes were troubled as he thought of his father. Young, talented, arrogant--all the things that the records had said of Anakin Skywalker were true. He'd rebuffed Luke, suspected him of treachery, and that had hurt Luke more than he let on. What could you say to that? What could you do about it? Luke wanted to tell Anakin the truth--tell him that Anakin was his father and Leia's father, tell him everything. But he'd seen someone who was so quick to anger and suspicious before he was ever trusting, and Luke had had to retreat. How could he make Anakin believe him anyway? Luke was old enough to be Anakin's father.
Obi-Wan had said that Anakin wasn't good with new stresses, and to give it time. Luke hoped that the other Master was right.
[OOC note: this takes place just around the time of the stuff going on down in the City. Directly after this thread ends with their danger-senses going off, Anakin and Luke will be making their way down to the City to be bystanders!]
