[ It's very obvious where Jaina is sitting as the feed pans out. The kolto tanks on Coruscant, where she came back after she died. She looks haggard, a hand going through her hair as she stares straight at the tanks as if waiting for something ]

[ she clears her throat ]

The Sith...[ Jaina closes her eyes ]

They aren't what we thought. Not all of them

Miss Jaina [hmm is he supposed to call her Jedi Jaina well too late now] - so, you... want to talk to him? Ask him why he wanted us here?

[sand_wormie]

I'm sure they're doing the best they can. [Idealist kid is idealistic.] Probably.

Complex D, room 6.

[abovetwinsuns]

I don't have your optimism.

That's not too far from me. I can stop by whenever you have a minute.

[sand_wormie]

[Shrug.] Someone can be doing their best and it's the wrong thing entirely.

...Okay. I have a lot of free time. I fix things, sometimes, for money, but I'm usually around.

[abovetwinsuns]

I don't think they're doing anything, that's the problem.

[ she gives a small grin at that ]

Let me know when you want to start.

[sand_wormie]

Any time. Any time that works for you, I mean.

You'd better be patient. I've never...

ooc: do you want to make this an action thread?

[abovetwinsuns]

[ 'patient' and 'Jaina Solo' never really went together ]

It's okay. We can both learn something.

Y!

[sand_wormie]

[He's an alarmingly fast learner... That was partly a way of saying 'Don't be agitated like that when you come', but he didn't want to say it outright, because he thinks that would be too confrontational.]

Okay then. I guess... I guess I'm free right now.

\o/ vid -> action

[abovetwinsuns]

Alright.

[ a few minutes later and there's a chirp at the door ]

Action

[sand_wormie]

[And door opens. Jaina may be short, but honestly, at the moment Luke is shorter. He looks small for thirteen, if rather more weathered than most kids that age.]

[He seems a little nervous. The Force is responding to that - just in general it's a little odd around him, seeming to move with more purpose. It seems like it's speaking to him almost constantly, but he doesn't know.]

- Hello, Miss Jaina.

Ah, can I offer water, or do you, um, want to start right away?

Re: Action

[abovetwinsuns]

You can just call me Jaina, you know.

[ she steps in, giving a cursory look around. ]

Whatever you want.

[ Jaina looks down at Luke. It's beyond unsettling to have her uncle shorter than her. ]

Re: Action

[sand_wormie]

I didn't want to be disrespectful. But - okay. Jaina.

[He's got his hands clasped behind his back, in a respect gesture. Offering water to guests is a hospitality thing, where he's from, and although he was prepared to shove that impulse aside as this isn't Tatooine, he's a little relieved that he doesn't have to. It shows in his impression on the Force.]

Oh, alright. Just a minute.

[Is he grasping at a chance to put it off, a little? Maybe. Jaina intimidates him, a little; he's just about fearless, but he can be nervous, still. Anyway, it really doesn't take him long to have two tumblers of water out and on a little table, where there's also seating. He met Anakin here, when he first arrived.]

...Okay.

Re: Action

[abovetwinsuns]

I don't offend easy.

[ a small smile as Luke carries the water out and sets it at the table. it's not something she's used to seeing- her uncle, the leader of the order- looking nervous around her. ]

I guess it's best to start out with what you know about the Force already.

Re: Action

[sand_wormie]

It's where Jedi get their power - it's everywhere, all the time, in deep space and the hearts of stars, but especially where there's life. And it's tied to time too, somehow. I can probably feel it, a little, and that's why... [He has an ingrained reluctance to talk about these things.] - why sometimes I can sense things before they happen.

And Revan did all this with it, and I... [Or it could've been a dream. Luke's not sure himself.] Uh. Maybe not.
