[ It's very obvious where Jaina is sitting as the feed pans out. The kolto tanks on Coruscant, where she came back after she died. She looks haggard, a hand going through her hair as she stares straight at the tanks as if waiting for something ]

[ she clears her throat ]

The Sith...[ Jaina closes her eyes ]

They aren't what we thought. Not all of them

Miss Jaina [hmm is he supposed to call her Jedi Jaina well too late now] - so, you... want to talk to him? Ask him why he wanted us here?

[abovetwinsuns]

[ anger and hurt aside, seeing her uncle calling her 'miss' brings something less dark to her tone ]

Partly. There's...a lot to this guy that we don't understand.

[sand_wormie]

Why do you think that? [Beat] Not that I'm trying to second-guess you.

[abovetwinsuns]

[ Luke always was smart 8| ]

The people following him aren't all lunatics out for blood. Most of them are former Republic soldiers.

[sand_wormie]

So... you're saying they turned for a reason? Miss Jaina, if there's [Pause] some great reason, why are they fighting their old comrades? Why not tell them something's up? Great big broadcasts to win everyone over to their side?

If [Pause, and he's speaking very carefully.] you do try to find out.

[abovetwinsuns]

[ oh bb!Luke, why are you always so much smarter than the rest of the karking galaxy? ]

I don't think anyone's going to listen to them. The lines have been drawn already.

[From the mouths of babes might not mean much, but if the babes are ridiculously Force-Sensitive...]

I'm not sure... I don't know what you're thinking about. Not that I'm saying you should tell me, or anything, but I think...

[He trails off, worried-looking. When he leans back and his face goes into shadow, he doesn't look quite as young. There's nothing to be done about his voice, though.]

Just be careful about it, okay? Don't do something on a whim.

[abovetwinsuns]

[ a small smirk - the advice is something that gives her some comfort in familiarity]

Don't worry. I'll give it some thought before I do thrilling heroics.

[sand_wormie]

Well... okay then.

I'd tell you not to do anything I wouldn't, but. [He shrugs, self-deprecating.] Good - no wait what do Jedi say again...

[abovetwinsuns]

[ she smiles ]

May the Force be with you.

Don't worry, you'll get the hang of the expression.

[sand_wormie]

Then may the Force be with you, Miss - Jedi Jaina.

[He's smiling back, but there's a weird sort of gravity to him.]

[abovetwinsuns]

Thanks.

[ she stares at him ]

Has...anyone talked to you about learning the ways of the Force?

[sand_wormie]

[Aaaand gravity's gone. Was it even really there? Maybe he was just being non-exuberant.]

Uh - not really. ...Jacen said I could talk to the Jedi at the Temple here, but [Guilty expression] I haven't. It - it hasn't felt right, I guess.

[abovetwinsuns]

I get it. They don't feel right to me either.

[ she stares at him ]

If you..ever want to know anything about it, I can show you the basics.

[sand_wormie]

I went up there once. Turned away before I met anyone. I'm not sure why.

[He seems a little nervous now.]

I might like that. There's no reason not to.

[abovetwinsuns]

Probably because you have good judgement.

Where are you staying?
