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. ]

[resnipstance]

... What? [Ahsoka scrunches her nose up.] That doesn't make any sense.

[t65]

[ Wait, Ben fed him an implausible lie? ] What? Why?

[resnipstance]

Master Skywalker doesn't even like spice. He says it's got links to the slave trade, and the people who profit off it are criminals.

[t65]

[ Luke, child of the Outer Rim, shrugs. ] It's just spice. Without the profits and the trade, industry on the Rim would dry up, and water taxes would skyrocket. Not to mention the slave trade- that'd get even worse without the spice runs to bring business off planet.

[resnipstance]

... Huh. I guess Master really mellows out in the future...

[Or, you know. The opposite.]

[t65]

That's... one way to describe it, I guess. [ Ha... ] Is there anything else you want to know-? Oh, or we could do some exercises, if you want. Fun ones, I promise.

[resnipstance]

Oh, oh! Do you have any siblings?

[t65]

Of course! My sister Leia. She's my twin, actually!

[resnipstance]

Really? That's so cool!

Is she a Jedi too?

[t65]

Yeah! [Sort of.] She's in training like me. She has more time to train, now that we're away from the senate and the Alliance everything.

[resnipstance]

What's the Alliance?

[t65]

The Rebel Alliance.

[Oh shi-]

It's the, um. Company we work for.

[resnipstance]

Weird name for a company. What do they do?

[t65]

[Luke kind of wants to die right now.]

Smuggling. A lot of smuggling.

[resnipstance]

Wait. Aren't you a Jedi?

What's a Jedi doing smuggling?

[t65]

I'm branching out!

[His voice breaks in the middle there.]

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka just levels him with A Look.]

I don't think you're telling me the whole truth.

[What gave it away.]

[t65]

[ Time to blame someone else. ]

I... don't think my father would like it if I, uh, ruined the surprise.

[resnipstance]

... Hm. Good idea!

Why don't we go to him now?

[t65]

[ Luke loves spending time with Anakin too much for that to be a successful bluff. He even has an excuse in the form of his favorite child! ]

Sure! Do you know where he is?

[resnipstance]

The Paisley.

[She says it, and it sounds a little bit smug. Like, "Ha! I bet you thought I didn't know that."]
