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.

"I sure hope it does." he replied. It was understandable how Luke felt. Han was deliberately trying not to inundate him with stuff about the future, especially with not knowing which timeline he was from.

"I can try to answer questions if you've got any, but I don't want to overload you with anything you'd rather not hear...that's why I've been trying to go slow and let you pick the pace." he said. "Especially with you being so young, no one can tell which future you'll wind up in. It's got to be really confusing for you."

Luke asked about Kylo, and Han nodded. "Not on purpose. I kind of ran into him on accident. He was with that Hux guy and they had the other guy, Poe, about half dead by that point. And I couldn't just leave and let them kill the poor kid. They had his gem, and we all know what happens when someone does that. Plus it looked like they worked him over pretty good." Han shook his head.

"I didn't really want a fight, even though I've gotten into my share back home, but I did want to help if I could...fortunately, they just ran off. But not before I got a "my father is dead, I have no father!" from Kylo.

"Thanks, Han," Luke said with a smile, then listened, frowning.

"Was he all right?"

Not Kylo, of course. No need to worry about him in that situation, clearly. The mention of the soul gem jewellery made him reflexively rest a hand over the necklace he wore, frown deepening. Something like that was probably unavoidable for some people if you were at different sides of the war, but still. It literally wouldn't matter here, aside from causing needless injury.

"Don't mention it" he replied with a smile. "I am glad that if we both have to be stuck here, it's at the same time...even if you might not be quite the same Luke I know."

"Yeah, Poe wasn't too bad off, once I dug his gem out of the trees they threw it into and got it back to him. He's probably a little sore at the moment, but he'll live. He didn't even want treatment, just wanted to get back home. He was still a little shaky, so I helped him out."

Chuckling quietly briefly, Luke nodded. There was quite a difference between twenty two decades later...

"Yeah, me too. Good he was okay in the end, though," Luke frowned, crossing his arms, "though it seems kinda risky not getting checked out if it was partly because he got separated from the soul gem, since that's not exactly... something we know anything about."

Luke wouldn't really say much in general about not going to a medic; it wasn't like he hadn't done the same himself a few times, but for something new like this, he'd probably have checked to make sure.

"But I guess it doesn't matter in the end, if he felt okay. Hopefully that'll be the last of it, though."

Probably not. Wasn't like he'd missed hearing about the Hotel confrontation. Kind of impossible to do so.

"Yeah. Yeah, I agree. I'd have gone if it were me, but ohwell, you can't force someone." Han replied.

"So what're you doing to keep busy around here?" he asked. "I'm still trying to settle in, but I know I'll have to find some way of earning money. Hopefully one that isn't illegal..."

Luke shook his head and then smiled a little.

"Helping smaller businesses and similar repair any technology they have," he chuckled, shaking his head again, "it was a bit of a learning curve and the first one was a bit of an accident as I saw a couple of the natives struggling outside their shop... I probably shouldn't have offered to help without knowing much about it, but..."

He couldn't help himself, and had wanted to help them. Luckily it hadn't been too hard, though part of that may be thanks to his skill in general and the Force.

"I wouldn't have taken the payment at the end if they didn't insist and then ask if I could maybe help someone else."

And after that it'd only sort of continued.
