Characters: Location: A random street (which she knew she'd go to.) Planet: Coruscant When: A little after sunset What: Just wandering about, trying to see where she is. Rating: Should be PG.
Luke was preoccupied. He felt bad for Amy... she'd been angry on the datapads, but... What could he do? They didn't know each other well. He supposed he could bring food...
So in the evening he went to one of the low-ish but still reputable food markets, after the supper crowds had gone. This one had pies - sweet ones, by the smells, some of them set out in the open to attract people. He looked through the pest screens at a Stenness pie, mostly sweetbread but with rounds of fruit coated in carmelized sugar.
Then there was a sort of flicker, it took a moment for him to tell that it was from the Force. It wasn't a bad feeling, but... strange. Luke turned in place, scanning the marketplace.
Idris was staring at him, with a curious head tilt; ...she looked at most things that way, actually. Life was filled with things to tilt one's head at.
"An allworlder?" He scratched his neck, unsure of what to make of her. "'Outworlder' is what they call people who just appeared here without wanting to. We're from a bunch of different planets and galaxies and times, even. Are you... You don't talk like a local."
Luke startled, and started to turn red. A couple people bustling about and studiously ignoring them turned to look, though they barely paused.
"Um- really? Is this - you know - is this like jizz? The music, I mean, to Outworlders apparently it means something else, and..." He closed his eyes and tried to pull himself together.
"It's my name. I would have mentioned it first but then you'd be confused..." And this was cuter. ...She might have to try cheek pinching if this kept up!
That was better. Luke brushed off his clothes, trying to dispell his remaining awkward. "You've got three names? Okay."
Time and Relative Dimensions in Space. That was a longer, more awkward name than the other two, but he had the feeling that it fit better - for him, anyway. Had he heard something like it before...? Luke would think it over later.
"Are you looking for something? I'm here looking for the right food."

After a moment, he said, "Are you an Outworlder?"

He didn't give his last name much anymore. Luke didn't like that 'oh, you're him' reaction he got from it.
