Room 317 [afternoon]

Sep 02, 2006 12:15

After an exciting morning of unintentionally traumatizing the student body meeting new people (and his roommate), Luke retreated to his room to send a transmission to Leia.

He'd gone as far as ARE YOU MISSING AN EVIL SITH LORD???!!? before running out of inspiration.

The door was propped open.

Rory had spent the morning scouring the student directory, and had finally brought herself to pick up the box from under her desk and head up the stairs.

I will not cry at all during this. I will be strong, and calm, and not get hysterical at this poor kid, she repeated to herself as she quietly tapped on the open door to 317, shyly looking in at the boy inside.

"You're the girl I met yesterday," Luke said, giving her a shy smile. "Did I say something wrong?"

auroryborealis September 2 2006, 19:37:39 UTC

"Um." Rory didn't quite know how to answer that yet. "I owe you an apology. And an introduction. I'm Rory."

She sighed and leaned a little against the doorframe. "And I know...knew Anakin - um, your father, I guess - better than pretty much anyone. At least, before he left, since you're very definitely from the future."

She held up the box a little. "I have pictures and things."

"You did? You do?" Luke's face lit up. "Come in, please!"

Rory blushed. "Because I was his girlfriend," she said softly. "Secretly, anyway. Jedi aren't...or weren't, I suppose, to have relationships or attachments."

tatooine_doofus September 2 2006, 23:13:30 UTC

"They weren't?" Luke blushed, too. "Sorry. I don't know anything about being a Jedi. I mean other than 'search out with your feelings' and 'glowing end of the lightsaber away from you.'"

auroryborealis September 2 2006, 23:14:58 UTC

Rory studied him. "You have a lightsaber?" she asked. "But only Jedi use those. And you said they're all gone."

"Ben gave me my father's," Luke said softly. "He said he would've wanted me to have it."

"It happens," Rory said diplomatically. "A lot of us loved him, though."

She reached into the box. "Here, this is us at prom." Anticipating confusion, she added, "That's a big, formal event at the end of the year."

She cleared her throat and added, "He's about eighteen in most of these, by the way."

tatooine_doofus September 3 2006, 00:15:06 UTC

"That's how old I am," Luke said, smiling a little. "You look very pretty," he said not at all smoothly.

auroryborealis September 3 2006, 00:18:22 UTC

"You're eighteen?" Rory asked curiously. "You're...older than me, then. I'm still seventeen for a couple months. That's kind of weird." She blushed. "And thank you."

tatooine_doofus September 3 2006, 00:23:30 UTC

"I just turned eighteen," Luke said. "But I'm going to be a junior. Something about Imperial education being terrible."

He looked at the box. "Do have any other pictures?"

"Oh my God," Rory murmured. "Why? Who used it and why? I thought they were kind of a boring, peaceful planet?"

tatooine_doofus September 3 2006, 01:11:13 UTC

"Vader used it," Luke replied. It was pretty close to true. "To try to get my friend to tell him the location of a Rebel base. And when she gave him the name of a planet, they blew up her homeworld to make a point. And they made her watch."

auroryborealis September 3 2006, 01:13:36 UTC

"And he's teaching here," Rory said softly, nearly spitting the words. "But I'm glad there's someone else here who knows about the Sith, now. I promised my friend who moved away that I'd keep an eye on him and would ask for help if I needed it. Now I have an ally who probably knows more than I do. Right?"

tatooine_doofus September 3 2006, 01:17:37 UTC

Luke nodded. "I saw him the other day," he said, curling his legs up and hugging them. "He said he was here because of me." He blew out a breath. "And I know what he did to other Jedi."

"Well, I'm batting well tonight," Rory said dryly. "I'm so sorry."

tatooine_doofus September 3 2006, 02:02:21 UTC

Luke pulled his legs a little closer. "Vader killed him, too," he said. "Ben died so that we could get off the Death Star.'

auroryborealis September 3 2006, 02:05:34 UTC

Rory moved a little closer and gently, shyly ran a hand over his back. "At least it wasn't in vain."

tatooine_doofus September 3 2006, 02:09:24 UTC

"I wish Vader had stayed on the damn thing," Luke said angrily.
