Wonderful!

Loved the characterization. . . I'd say not long prior to Specter of the past?

[deaka]

Spot on. Mara's reached her conclusions about Luke's Force-use, but she's still thinking about whether to clue him in.

Thanks for the comment re the characterisations. It was tricky with this one, because they're not characters who you see interact often.

Tee hee. Wonderfully written. I love how Mara tries to leave and somehow Han just keeps her around.

[deaka]

Thank you. :D Han can probably relate, because I can see him having a similar reaction not that long ago. Kids? See you later. :p

Brilliant work! I loved everything especially the part where she said 'I think you're confusing me with someone else', and their discussion of Jedi with Han's 'a Jedi is a Jedi, whatever he's doing'. Mara trying to persuade Han to talk to Luke - and Han saying that it must be someone else.

[deaka]

Thank you! I can see Han being a little reluctant to directly engage the Force related musings. Especially if Luke's not too open to listening (which, despite the erratic characterisations around this time in profic, I get the impression was the case, somewhat).

Thanks so much for the feedback.

Nice piece. I like how Han put the idea in Mara's mind that Luke needs help from someone...

nicely done.

[deaka]

Even if Mara was a little oblivious at this point. :p Thank you for reading!

Very nice. I like the fact that it's not about Luke. Just Mara as a person finding her way in the galaxy - like everyone else.

[deaka]

Luke ended up being in there more than I would have liked... but I managed to fight off any shippy tendencies, so it could have been worse. :p

Really glad you enjoyed. Thanks for the feedback.
