Look, I know there was a ton of family drama with messed up timelines to get through.

[This is quite possibly the understatement of the century to anyone who has had to deal with a Skywalker whether they know how many people are connected to that family or not. But the feed pans to a strange mass.]

But did everyone just forget to warn me that sometimes people just fall asleep and end up in a weird eye covered cocoon thing? Maybe before my brother wound up in one?

[She takes a deep breath. She should be in better control than this. She's a Jedi, Jedi are calm, not irritable]

I should meditate...

Comments

[jedies]

[ he guessed as much, but it's good to have confirmation. ]

It's nice to meet you, Jaina.

[forcechanic]

[Okay, wow, Obi Wan Kenobi. Yeah, he's here.]

Anakin told me you were here but it's... wow, to meet you.

[jedies]

"Wow"?

[forcechanic]

You weren't someone I expected to meet but I'm glad to meet you.

[Time is weird]

And never did have Mom's way with talking to people.

[jedies]

Your mother was more abrupt than you realize. She called me old several times.

[forcechanic]

She did?

[She's still worried about Anakin but this is new information no one has been able to provide]

But she's always so... collected. I don't think she ever wants to punch Senator Fey'lya!

[jedies]

I imagine that comes with age and wisdom, but I can assure you she was not the calm and collected child. She gave her parents many headaches. And myself, of course.

[forcechanic]

It's hard to imagine that. Winter would never tell us something like that.

[And everyone else is dead, more or less]

Wait, you knew Mom when she was a kid?

[jedies]

I did. We spent time together when she was ten years old.

[forcechanic]

And she called you old?

[jedies]

She did. Which, to her credit, I must have seemed like it.

[forcechanic]

Still, I can't believe she said it.

Winter never tells that kind of story about her as a kid...

[jedies]

Who is Winter?

[forcechanic]

She was our nanny growing up. She grew up in the palace with Mom.

[jedies]

[ huh. ]

I see. I can't say I knew the ins and outs of Alderaan.

[forcechanic]

You've been busy.

[Doing what, she can't tell him, but she knows he was on Tatooine most of the time until her uncle came along.]

[jedies]

[ he smiles faintly. ]

That's generous of you to say so.

[forcechanic]

When exactly is it that you remember, anyway?

[jedies]

Well, the events were recent to me. Not long ago. I visited Alderaan to return your mother's droid and to say my goodbyes.

[forcechanic]

If she was ten, that must be... thirty years before me.

[Thirty years and an entire regime change. The galax barely looks the same]

[jedies]

. . . Yes, it's quite a long time.

[forcechanic]

There's a lot to get used to here.

[jedies]

[ obi-wan smiles faintly. ]

Perhaps. But you're not alone in it.

[forcechanic]

[She nods]

Yeah, we're stronger together. I got that lesson.

[jedies]

Lesson?
