[ Hmmm. This, she thinks she can understand. ]

... Like how everyone keeps saying that I'm normally older, even though I don't remember being any older right now?

[t65]

Yeah. [He smiles.] You know, we're friends, when you're older. You taught me a lot! I figure, it's time I returned the favor, huh?

[Also, he's spent enough time with Ahsoka and Anakin and Padme to guess-] Also, [he says in a hushed voice,] I know all sorts of things about Anakin.

[It's not revenge, or cruelty, it's the mischievous glee of doing something that a normal father would be annoyed with his normal son for. He can't resist that.]

[resnipstance]

I taught you? [ Ahsoka still feels so young and inexperienced. The idea of having a student of her own is unthinkable. ]

Am I a good teacher? [ Suddenly, her awe subsides, and then she has a million questions at once. They all come tumbling out of her in a rush. ] Why not Skyguy? Did he leave the Order to have kids? Who's your mom? Wait, if I taught you, does that mean you have to call me "Master"?

[t65]

[Luke laughs, obviously delighted by this stream of questions.]

Of course you taught me- you know a lot! My father... he's been too busy to teach me. [Moving on-] I'm not sure if it was to have kids, but he definitely left the order. [Moving on-] My mother is Padme. Um- you never asked me to call you master. I guess I can, if you want me to.

Senator Amidala--?!

[resnipstance]

[Pause... dot dot dot... processing...]

... Huh.

Actually. Now that I think about it. That makes sense.

[t65]

[Luke beams at that. Boy does he love it when people remind him his mom's a senator.]

Yeah- they seem to really like each other. [Thank the Force.] They're pretty much inseparable, here.

[resnipstance]

Awww. Skyguy's a secret romantic! You wouldn't know it to look at him.

[She has a mischievous glimmer in her eye that says "I'm gonna tease him about this later."]

I guess I can give you a pass on calling me master. I shouldn't take credit for future-me's accomplishments.

[t65]

I sure didn't. He's just about impossible for me to read. If you can't figure out what he's thinking, nobody can.

[Luke laughs again.] Well, that's gracious of you. I mean, I didn't exactly call you 'master' before...

[resnipstance]

Ugh! Tell me about it. Like the other day, we were fighting some seppies, and there were too many of them so I grabbed a detonator and threw it at them! You'd think he'd be pleased, right? But instead he got mad at me!

[t65]

[Those sure are a lot of words. Luckily, Luke catches the overall meaning.]

Why did he get angry, Ahsoka? [Did he choke you.]

[resnipstance]

He was all, "You didn't think about the blast radius, Ahsoka!"

I had it under control. I would've been fine. He doesn't trust that I can handle myself!

[t65]

[Pause.]

...Would have been?

[resnipstance]

He Force-yanked me backwards and I fell on my butt. It was really embarrassing!

[t65]

[Luke can't help but snicker.]

I think he was just worried. He loves you, so he gets worried.

[He's not sure his father has nearly the same concern for- no, don't get caught in childish envy. He's met his father; that's already more than he could ever ask.]

[resnipstance]

[Somewhat petulant:] I know.

But can't he be worried and trust me at the same time? Besides, if I never make any mistakes, how am I going to learn?

[t65]

Is he really that overbearing?

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka makes a non-committal noise.]

It depends on the day.

[t65]

What does that mean?

[resnipstance]

Most of the time he's over-protective.

But sometimes he lets me do things on my own.

[t65]

I'll be honest, I'm having a harder time picturing the first one, not the second one.

[resnipstance]

He's not overprotective with you...?

[Ahsoka has more trouble imagining that. She giggles.]

... Maybe I beat it out of him.

[t65]

[ That gets a laugh. ] I think you tired him out. I never knew you at this age; I can just picture you running circles around him.

[resnipstance]

[A grin.]

I try.

So, what's Skyguy doing in the future if he's not a Jedi? Mechanic? Pilot? I bet he's a pilot.

[t65]

[ Luke opens his mouth. ]

[ Closes it. ]

[ Opens it again. ]

Uh, pilot, yeah. On a spice freighter.

[ Someone didn't inherit either of his parent's skill for lying. ]
