[ 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."]

[t65]

[ He can't stop grinning. ]

I'll meet you there.

[resnipstance]

Last one there's a rotten egg!

[And with that she seems to jump up and switch her comm off, before racing to the shuttle bay.]

[sandhate]

[ he stares at the two of them and their boundless energy. running away right then and there is tempting but he folds his hand behind his back instead, looking every inch the master he should be (honestly, just got nervous and starts mimicking obi-wan here) ]

Can I help you two?
