[ 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?

[t65]

[Luke, meanwhile, is just trying to keep from being too obviously delighted (even though Ahsoka obviously cheated) in getting here first. Bouncing on his heels, beaming, he gestures to Ahsoka.]

Your padawan has a few questions. [Ha.] Lots of questions.

[resnipstance]

[Like two siblings who have come to a parent to settle a dispute:]

Master, is it true you work for a smuggling company in the future?

For the record, I think you can do better than that, even if you're not a Jedi.

1/2

[sandhate]

[ he raises an eyebrow and looks slowly from ahsoka to luke ]

...It appears I will.

2/2

[sandhate]

[ he place his hand on ahsoka's shoulder, taking advantage of her glitch. ]

But to answer your question, how would I know what the future holds for me, Padawan? If I focused so much on it, I wouldn't be a very good Jedi.
