[Thread] Oh, the irony.

[notthisluke]

Characters: Luke Skywalker (AU) and Ahsoka Tano (OU).
Where: By the pond.
When: Sometime after this conversation.
Summary: Ahsoka teaches Luke something about the Force. A Jedi-to-be teaching a Sith-to-be something? Ironic.
Warnings: None yet, but we'll never know. These two had a shaky start, but it looks like they're getting along now~

It hadn't been hard for Ahsoka to locate Luke. She'd merely reached out into the Force and followed the feel of his presence until she'd come upon him. The fact that he was distressed helped, but if it hadn't been for that, she'd have been able to single him out amongst those who were obvious Force-sensitives, being that his signature was the only one that wasn't familiar to her in some way in this compound. Taking that into consideration, he stood out in contrasts to herself, the senator, and Alema. And, she would've approached him immediately, but after laying eyes upon him, she couldn't help but stop and stare.

The resemblance between the boy before her and the man who had trained her was amazing. He really was Anakin Skywalker's son, wasn't he? They had the same hair, the same eyes and nearly the same facial structure.

Realizing that she was staring, Ahsoka snapped herself out of her reprieve and moved forward, closer, clearing her throat to make her presence known.

"Hey there..."

Luke was startled, and turned abruptly. His hand reflexively went to his blaster, but he relaxed as he realized who it was. They hadn't met in person yet, but there was no mistaking it; she had a lightsaber. "Ahsoka," he said quietly, his arms dropping to his sides. "You came."

Despite her knowledge of his alignment and how upset she'd been with the tales that had been passed on to her about what would become of her master, of the older boy's father, she found herself smiling at the greeting. It wasn't really for the greeting itself, but for not having someone gape and stare or recoil at seeing that she was less than human. This, this is what she missed most about home--being looked at like she was the same as everybody else. And for that, she smiled at Luke, tempted to say thank you for that, but not tempted enough to actually voice it.

"Of course I did," she said, moving closer and folding her arms over her chest. "Why wouldn't I? I promised I would and a promise is a promise."

"Sorry. I just... don't have a lot of faith in promises made by Jedi," Luke said, shrugging in an attempt to make it look like it was no big deal. But it was. Obi-Wan Kenobi's 'betrayal' alone was more than a good example.
