... 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.

[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.

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka opens her mouth and takes a breath to reply to that, but she doesn't have any very good answers... so she closes it again. With a little petulant groan.]

[t65]

[Luke is... surprised to see this side of his father, the gentle teacher he didn't know existed. It keeps a smug grin from appearing on his face; instead, he looks thoughtful.]

[Really, he takes little pleasure from Ahsoka's obvious dissatisfaction. It reminds him of himself, in more ways than one, and that sits poorly with him. So he asks gently,]

Is there anything else you wanted to know?

[resnipstance]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...

[She seems to flick a look between the two of them, as if mentally cataloguing her list of questions and wondering which ones are appropriate to ask now she's in the presence of her Master.]

[resnipstance]

... Who's the better pilot?

You or Skyguy?

[sandhate]

[ he is so offended at the question ]

I am, of course.

[t65]

[Of course, at the same time, Luke says,] Me.

[And then he stares and laughs awkwardly, scratching his head.] We're- we're both good.

[sandhate]

[ he side eyes the shit out of his son before he directs his attention to ahsoka again ]

I would have taught Luke everything I could. Isn't that right, Luke?

[t65]

[Luke's grin is strained.] Oh, yeah. Definitely.

[Not a great liar, here.]

[resnipstance]

[Ahsoka looks between them.]

Sounds to me like you should have a race to settle it.

[t65]

[Luke's face kind of... drops. He looks at his father, abashed. They don't really have to, do they?]

[Of course, this is a childhood dream of his, but now isn't the time; he assumes Anakin wouldn't appreciate it.]

[resnipstance]

[Sort of sing-songy:] ... I can tell you waaaaaaaant to.

[She can't, not really, she's just... being Ahsoka.]

[sandhate]

[ you know, if it'll get ahsoka to not question things or if it'll get ahsoka to ask about starships and the six different ways to beat someone in a race then yes

smiling a slow smile, he looks at luke, sharing a sly look. ]

I could, if Luke wants to. [ he nudges ahsoka slightly ] Don't ever say I don't do nothing for you, Snips.

[resnipstance]

[Innocently:] What do you mean? This is a lesson, right?

[sandhate]

Really? [ he looks at her with sternness, and a fondness that's barely contained ] And what is your take on the lesson I have planned for you, Padawan?

[resnipstance]

[Er...]

[Hopefully:] Flying tips?
