[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?

[t65]

[Oh, okay. Is this a thing they're doing now? Luke feels kind of out of the loop, but if there's one thing Skywalkers can do, it's set things on fire while screaming about incest improvisation. He nods, cautious. He can never predict his father's moods.]

Alright, alright. There's got to be something worth flying around here somewhere. [He looks to Anakin.] Is she good?

[sandhate]

[ he looks down at ahsoka and gives way too much thought about the question ]

She's good, but not as good as she thinks she is. [ he steps away from ahsoka and looks at the both of them, his arms crossed ] There are shuttles. We can use those. They have limited speed so this will be about ability and it'll be a fair race.

[t65]

[Luke actually gasps in offense.] I never cheat! [Where did he get that idea!!! Who lied.]

[sandhate]

[ he snorts then stops shorts when he realize who that sounds like

it sounded like him, a decade ago, being accused by sebulba of cheating when he beat his son years after he beat sebulba himself.

so he says nothing and just stares at luke ]

[t65]

[Luke puffs up, arms crossed. He tries to hold his father's gaze, confident in his assertion, but he's never been good at steely silences like Leia has.] I don't, [He squeaks, tapping his foot impatiently. He'll prove it.]
