[ 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. )

[ Anakin hadn't been told any of that, but perhaps Uncle Luke had his reasons. He always did.

Still, it does explain a few things-- in theory. ]

And the idea of "owning" someone wasn't a theoretical for him. That's... [ Anakin sighs sadly. ] ...worse than terrible.

And I'm sure it was hard for you to hear too, Uncle Luke.

I was young, when I first heard of it, and slavery runs rampant on Tatooine. I... always wanted to do something about it, but freeing slaves is a dangerous responsibility, and my aunt and uncle would have lost their minds if I put myself in that kind of danger.

[ He smiled faintly; not to mention Obi-Wan's hair might have been entirely white a lot sooner. ]

But... I think that's what the problem is, and I just... don't know a way to help your grandfather.

[ It's not surprising to him at all that his uncle would want to fight injustice and save people. He's pretty sure that drive is written into his very bones.

Anakin's voice is soft: ] All you can do is what you think is right. You can hold out your hand, but he has to take it on his own.

[ Luke snorted softly. ]

That sounds like something I would say.

That's how you know it's good advice.
