[ There's a faint sound of wind in the background of his broadcast, as if he's sitting somewhere up high. ]

Hello. Again. [ Oof, okay, not the strongest start. ] I'm Anakin Solo, a knight of the Jedi Order, at your service. I sort of remember being here before, and I wanted to thank everyone who helped me out.

They offered me a bed at the orphanage, but I don't want to take it from someone who might need it.
How does housing work here, exactly? I don't mind sleeping outside, but that doesn't seem wise in the long run.

[ A pause. ]

By the way, I don't remember the sky being like this before-- is this normal? As normal as anything is here, I mean.

[ Another pause. He's clearly not in his element. ]

Thanks again.

[ The feed ends. ]


( ooc: let me know if you want to keep his tdm thread! i'm cool either way. )

Forgive me for hoping that I'll never require your service, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't welcome the company.

[hopesparks]

[ A soft laugh. ] No, I understand. Jedi tend to be wherever the trouble is, and most people try to avoid it.

[ He, on the other hand, runs toward it. Blame the Skywalker in him. ]

Hopefully I'll make for good company. I don't spend a lot of time with people outside of the Order.

[ Eventually he'll have to tell her about himself. How they're related. And he knows that the longer he keeps the secret, the more hurt she'll be once she finds out.

But he's not sure how to go about it. And he should touch base with Luke first. And probably get his head on straight. ]

[democratically]

I may attempt to avoid it, but it does have a knack for finding me.

[Then again, she tends not to run away from the danger, at least in some instances. It all depends what the situation is.]

It seems that this is your chance then. True, there are those from the Order here, but there are plenty more that aren't.

[ Anakin smiles to himself. He's not surprised-- everyone he's met who married a Jedi has had a knack for getting into trouble. Maybe that's what brings them together in the first place.

Making friends is certainly going to be a challenge. Aside from being used to Force sensitives almost exclusively, he's not the best at initiating friendships. On purpose, at least. ]

Trials abound here, it seems.

[democratically]

Trials, indeed, and plenty of helpful people that are willing to offer a hand, when needed.

[hopesparks]

You sound like Master Kenobi.

[ Another person telling him not to burn out and to ask for help. Is he really that easy to read? ]

[democratically]

I'll take that as a compliment.

[hopesparks]

It was meant to be one. Both of you have been a lot of help to me since I got here.

[democratically]

Thank you.

[Offering a smile.]

It remains. If you ever require help with anything, please feel free to reach out.

[hopesparks]

Of course. [ He probably won't. ] The same goes for you.
