“Is it done?” he asks, voice cracking at the end of it. It’s easy to forget when she sees him on the newsreels, so fierce and strong, that in so many ways, he’s still that little boy she met on Tatooine.
The pennyroyal lies heavy on her tongue.
“Take me home,” she says, because she wishes they actually had a home, rather than official residences and starships. “Please, just take me home.”
