tushanshu_logs | [Open] Hope you don't mind being wet

Characters: Luke Skywalker and you
Date: Through June
Location: Around Keeliai
Situation: Catchall! Luke can be found in the gardens in the Sky sector a lot. Because trees.

A. Rain
The rain might be cold, and Luke had, even before coming here, found out that being wet and having wet clothes sticking to cold, clammy skin wasn't much fun... But on the other hand, it was rain, and it was still something that felt... special. Impossible, in a way.

So it's pretty easy to find him all over, probably just standing or sitting somewhere, face turned up towards the sky, eyes closed, and a small smile on his face. Completely drenched.

(Someone's gonna get sick one of these days.)

B. Eaten by peace
The tremors weren't anything new, but being caught by a wave of tranquility both like and unlike what could be experienced in the Force, but unable to break out of it... Luckily he probably wasn't doing anything in particular when it happened, might even seem to simply be looking at some greenery or another in the garden in the Sky sector until he breaks out of it, but either way, it's not something he'd like to see happen more than once.

Unfortunately, it does.

C.Floating rocks in the garden - Sky sector
It might be simple, but considering he'd had all of a month of proper training so far, maybe simple was best. And while he could get more help now, he just wanted... to make sure he had what basics he'd already gotten down properly. To that end, Luke was sitting on the grass, eyes closed, and keeping several rocks of varying size in the air around him.

"That's what matters then." Poe knows far too well that sometimes your best isn't good enough. When it comes to the Force, however, there's no one he would trust more with it than a Skywalker.

"I've been told that we don't keep the memories from this place if we go back to our world, so...I appreciate the offer but maybe it's better to wait and see if Jess shows up here instead. She would ask you for one herself." And maybe fangirl a lot.

"I was wondering about that." Frowning, he nodded and crossed his arms over his chest. "They say time sort of stops and nothing at home is affected, which... would make sense I suppose, since my parents are here and they're more or less the same age as I am."

Not keeping memories... well, that made sense too, even if he wasn't sure what he thought about that. Though he wouldn't have to worry about it whenever he did go back, of course, but that, in itself, was a bit unsettling.

Then he snorted, muffling a slightly awkward chuckle.

"Ah, we'll see then."

"Sounds both like an inconvenience and a blessing, if you ask me." Poe flushed a little after the mention of Luke's family and smiled nervously.

"I've met Senator Amidala, she's an impressive woman." And he now understood how could she handle someone like young Vader. "Your sister, the General Leia from my world, reminds me of her a lot."

Eyes softening, Poe looked away. He had been wondering if she was allright, how the Resistance and Finn would be doing...Knowing the time stops in their world had helped a lot.

"More or less," Luke agreed, though his frown lightened at the mention of his mother and sister both.

"She's said the same, whenever I bring up Leia," he paused, shaking his head with a faint smile on his face, "even if I only found out about Leia being my sister right when I came here."

And what a way to find out, though there were worse ways, undoubtedly. The way he'd found out Darth Vader was his father had definitely been... much worse.

Poe was almost giddy, if not more, meting Padmé as he did when he first met Leia. better not get him started on that because he wouldn't shout up about how wonderful they were.

"Oh, right." Poe's eyebrows shot up and he gave Luke an understanding nod. "That's some pretty big news to discover all of sudden. it...could have been worse?"

Luke tried, but it was impossible not to wince at that, and the smile he gave Poe was a bit awkward.

"Finding out Leia's my sister is hardly bad. It has definitely been worse, though," he said wryly, running a hand through his hair, "I've had a lot of family revelations lately."

And while Leia having kissed him in the medbay was now a bit... awkward, she'd done it to get back at Han. He'd felt a bit... annoyed about that, but taken the chance to tease Han over his displeasure of Leia using him, even if he knew she was doing it.

Do you really want to tell Master Luke you are thinking about me in lingerie instead of the Force? Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty flattered but that will make for an interesting conversation.

"Ah, yes...that I don't doubt. Hopefully, we will get used to all the oddities and revelations quickly." He had to deal with some shocking ones of his own, too.

"I don't know about you, but I hope I'm done with reveals now," Luke said with a slow shake of his head. He was feeling pretty sure there couldn't be much more to really reveal anyway, unless he went diving into the two different futures that seemed possible to happen...

"Dealing with this place would be enough on its own, really."

Though there's still Ben - Kylo Ren - and his... associates, of course.

"Yes, same. I had enough of them this week for a whole lifetime." He dreaded to imagine how much more could the future bring. For the sake of everyone involved, he hoped that not too many. Or at least that they were manageable.

"Let's focus on the present then." Poe looked around them, at the stones, and then back at Luke. "Maybe I should finally leave you practice. Sorry I interrupted you."

"Basically," Luke said, tone wry and the smile a little sharp, before he laughed softly, "I really don't mind, but I probably should go back to training. I've been... lax, before this, since I got here."

His earlier more cynical expression softened into something more relaxed.

"I've been a bit... distracted, but that really is no excuse."

"If she knew I was bothering...well Leia would probably let me keep bothering you, but it doesn't sound very nice." She would probably laugh at both of them too.

"It was a pleasure to meet you, Luke. I hope we can talk more in the future."
