Rather to his displeasure, Luke was finding himself... was homesick the right word? He wished he could go back and visit, have a meal with his aunt and uncle, see his friends again, but he did like being off Tatooine.

Maybe it was just Coruscant. That time on Dac had reminded him what it felt like to be surrounded by great open spaces with few people. Space was a luxury here, and people were always packed together. He could feel it - maybe it was the Force, maybe it was just the knowledge and he was imagining it - but so many things just seemed more compressed and rushed here.

It was a little better in the parks and gardens, the upper-level ones which got some tending anyway. They were very artificial, but so had the hydroponics sections back home, where they grew their food off the water harvest.

But these weren't like the plants from back there, all utilitarian. So many of these were grown for no reason beyond beauty. His hands in his pockets, Luke looked up at a stiff branching entity that boasted shocks of translucent flat

Becky was walking along looking at the flora and ended up standing next to the blond haired man. She stood there a moment, studying the leaf with him, then smiled. "It's really pretty, isn't it?"

He felt someone coming up - had it been the sound, or the Force, or what? Luke had to stop himself from second-guessing things these days - but didn't turn to look until she spoke. She was older than he'd assumed.

"It's supposed to be from Vjun, which is kind of weird. Not the kind of plant you'd expect to find there." He shrugged. "But I guess most planets are more complicated than they seem."

"Well, it's probably like an observatory. They bring things from other places that people who never get to travel can come and see." She wanted to reach out and touch it, but there was a sign saying not to. "Not everyone can travel, after all. But they should be able to see the pretty things they are missing, right?"

Olivia was trying to pick up on the language as well -- it wasn't smart to be so reliant on the datapad if you're supposed to be adapting -- but it's harder when you're not as familiar with the universe itself. She still felt like she was at a disadvantage at times when it came to knowing the universe and what to expect, but she was still learning, and that was the important thing.

She was actually on her way back from seeing Kaylee about the ship when she got sidetracked by the gardens. She hadn't seen this much green in a long time, so she stopped to wander through, taking in things as they went.

Becky was sitting there, trying to look up the plant on her datapad while walking through one particular plant. "kah-vah-am" she sounded out as she walked, not really looking where she was going until she connected with another body.

"Oh my god. So sorry. I didn't see you."

Olivia wasn't really looking either, so that was at least a point in Becky's favor off the bat. She steadied herself from the stumble, before nodding with a smile.

"It's okay. It happens."

"I was just... the flowers are so pretty... so yeah. Sorry."

She looked down and saw her datapad on the ground and bent over to pick it up, along with anything else that may have fallen.
