MISCELLANEOUS QUESTIONS/OBSERVATIONS

[notyourlight]

[soloing]

I'm not certain of anything yet, actually.

That's your choice, then. If you decide you want them, you know where to find me.

[sand_wormie]

But you went back, when you - [erm. Well, he's made the sentence this far, might as well finish it] - died.

[soloing]

Yes, but others have as well, and our experiences have not always been the same in regards to what we remember. And if this war ends and we find another way back, perhaps it would be different as well.

[sand_wormie]

Oh.

And you're... sort of hoping I'll be able to help with that? Since there was that thing with my father, when I was ten.

[soloing]

I hadn't connected the two, actually.

[sand_wormie]

['And now you probably have. I shouldn't have said that, I didn't know what I was doing' he doesn't say, but Luke's so transparent he might as well have spoken.]

Right. Uh... so you know, whatever that was, it might have been something completely different. Since he had clothes, and also I pretty much collapsed when I - when it happened.

[soloing]

Most of those who return home end up in a comatose state for the interim. Perhaps you're not so far off the mark.

[pathtosacrifice]

[Catty's just standing off to the side, eyebrows raised.] Way to go on the future bomb, Solo.

[notyourlight]

[Anakin discreetly makes his way over to Catty while some of the others are still having a discussion.]

It had to be done this way. He wouldn't have believed me if I had done it privately.

[pathtosacrifice]

Are you really so sure about that? Or maybe you could have done it where it wasn't so damn embarrassing? [She rolls her eyes and shakes her head.] He's a kid, Anakin.

[notyourlight]

It's not embarrassing. I realize what a heavy burden it is but it had to be done.

[He pinches the bridge of his nose and takes a deep breath.]

By telling people I was trained by the Luke Skywalker I've given them a certain amount of faith in me. Luke will understand why I had to do it... eventually.

[pathtosacrifice]

In what universe is that not embarrassing? For one thing, he isn't even that person yet, so it's like... [Okay, reigning in her frustration. Taking a deep breath. Exhaling it.]

Not everybody knows who the Luke Skywalker is. Luke definitely didn't.

[notyourlight]

Do you think he shouldn't become that person?

[pathtosacrifice]

I think he should become whatever he wants to become. There's such a thing as free will. [Says the girl who readily accepted her destiny to die, herpderp.

She pauses for a second, tilting her head at him.] Why is your way the only way?

[notyourlight]

It's not my way, Catty. It's the way of the Force. I thought my being here was the Force answering Revan's power but now... Now that Luke's here.

[He pauses, looking off in the direction of Luke's force-presence.]

Maybe I'm here to help him.
