Of course.

[He'll just set the offer on the table.]

Ami-chan, I've been wondering what day your birthday is?

My birthday? [Luke, there's only one reason you need to know that, and you don't need to, really.]

September 10th. [Making her a Virgo - hardly surprising.]

Well. I just want to make it memorable.

It will be. As long as I'm with my friends, it will be perfect.

Well, I should still find a good gift for you.

It's alright- there's really nothing I need.

Then I'll just have to try extra hard.

[Luke waves a hand and floats the box across the table to Ami]

I think, however, its time you opened this.

[Almost hesitantly, she nods. She opens it carefully, slipping a fingernail beneath the wrapping to tug it gently loose without ripping. Finally, she has it open and frees the gift from inside.]

[Inside is a familiar looking cylindrical device, molded to fit her hands thanks to measurements Luke took in secret during a training session. The hilt is smooth and well gripped for someone about Ami's size, with soft leather to help avoid calluses]

I hope you like it.

[Ami's eyes widen as she stares into the box.]

It's a lightsaber! [Those same eyes fly to Luke, and after a second, Ami smiles.] Then, you'll have to keep training me.

Thank you.

[Luke nods and beams back at her]

Of course we'll keep training. How does it feel? Is the weight right? I can alter the balance and adjust it, but I think I got the measurements right.

[Ami's eyes never leave the lightsaber as she tests the weight and balance - without activating it, at first. Not here. After a few test movements, she nods.]

You must have planned for this for a long time, to have made it.

A few months, yes. I had hoped to finish it sooner, but I had to get the power cell.

[He just keeps grinning]

Glad that you like it.

[Had to get the power cell...

Come to think of it, how would someone get one, here? And she remembers someone telling her Luke had gone on missions. She'd done the same herself for awhile, earning that patch to evade the droids for Usagi.]

Luke... Did you get the power cell from missions for the Malnosso?

I did.

[Luke says it without reservation. He'd needed to go anyway.]

It was the only way. And I disassembled and rebuilt it, just to be sure they hadn't altered it in any way.

That was dangerous. You weren't hurt, were you?

No, of course not. Minor scratches from hostile flora, but nothing serious. Raine was with me on the first, and Obi-Wan on the second. Everything is fine. I even got stronger.

I can't say I don't understand wanting to do something like that, but... It really is dangerous. Please be careful in the future.

[Luke smirks, the time spent with Lupin clearly rubbing off a little bit]

Please, as if I'd do anything to worry you, Ami-chan.

Still, if something happens again, and you need something... let's do it together.

Yes, of course.

[An encouraging smile]

It'll be an adventure.

If it's with you, I don't mind it. [Not the adventure - she'd enjoy that at any time. But she'd be more willing to act for the Malnosso if it was together with someone else. With Luke.]

Of course. I'll make it a point to ask you first.

[He nods warmly]

How's the sandwich?

It's perfect. [She'd probably say this whether it was true or not, to keep Luke feeling good about doing this for her; but it happens to be true. He knows her tastes by now.] Even better than I make myself.

Oh, I don't know about that. But, I'm glad.

[He does know her habits by now, and its good.]

Ami-chan, how are you coping...with Usagi being gone?
