The Force isn't magic, Leia. It's just alive, and it guides us how it wants.

[Despite what Troy Denning might tell us.]

And no, it won't be easy, but it will work out. I don't want to sound patronizing, but you will calm down. You do that, you know. You have Father's temper. And Mother's ability to let it go.

[borntorebel]

I know the Force isn't magic. Now. But as a child, it was all so fantastical.

[She closes her eyes and lets a few moments of silence pass.]

You're not patronizing. Despite not growing up together, I think you know me better than even Winter does. It would be scary if I didn't know you a little.

[thefinaljedi]

Well, it's been a decade or more by my time now, I think I've gotten to know you in that time. We are twins, after all.

[borntorebel]

Yes, we are twins.

[Which is still a little strange if she stops to think about it. She'd felt a connection with Luke from the moment he and Han showed up on the Death Star to rescue her. Ever since learning the truth on Endor's moon, everything makes a lot more sense to her.

And it would continue to do so, it appears.]

This is still very strange. All of it.

[thefinaljedi]

All of what? Family? Luceti? Han?

[borntorebel]

All of the above.

[She says it with a slight teasing tone. She's still angry, but it's hard to keep up that with Luke for some reason.]

Han is, of course, the strangest of them all.

[thefinaljedi]

[Luke snorts a laugh.]

Nah, wait till you meet Mara. Or Talon.

[borntorebel]

[She raises an eyebrow at him in annoyance. One day, perhaps, comments like that won't irk her so much.]

For now, Han still retains his title as strangest member of this...family. Even the Bantha is more normal.

[There, she's conceded that he's part of the mess that is the Skywalker family. Progress.]

[thefinaljedi]

...hold on. You're forgetting someone.

[borntorebel]

Oh? Who's that?

[thefinaljedi]

Threepio. He's the strangest thing I've ever met, anyway. Or...maybe the prissiest.

[borntorebel]

[She can't help but laugh heartily for a moment.]

It's true that he's rather prissy, but you never met my aunts. Dreadful creatures. They loved me dearly, but so prim and proper. It was a nightmare.

[thefinaljedi]

No one can be as prissy as Threepio.

[borntorebel]

I beg to differ. You've never been to finishing school for Alderaanian nobility. The Headmistress there was a million times worse. Of course, I was hardly the perfect picture of the crown princess either.

[She looks at him for a moment before shaking her head.]

From what I understand, most brothers would've been upset that their sister had been kidnapped. No matter the responsible party.

[thefinaljedi]

Consider that was at least seven years in my past, by someone I have considered to be my brother for at least a decade, and that there's very little I can actually do about it, Leia.

[Shaking his head, Luke looks up at the ceiling.]

I'll talk to him, but I don't see a reason I should be upset, given that I don't know both sides of the story. I'm sorry.

[borntorebel]

[What was she expecting from Luke? They are hardly a normal family, Luceti's time differences aside. Besides, he's a Jedi. And from her father's stories, Jedi tended to be rather dispassionate if they were any good.

She shakes her head before hastily giving him a hug.]

I'm not even sure how I should react. Can we just call this training session as overvsnd try again tomorrow? I don't think I'll be any good today.

[thefinaljedi]

Yes, I think that's enough for today as well.

[He rises up and reaches over, pulling her into a hug.]

I'll talk to Han too. If you want me to give him a vibro-shovel talk, I will.

[borntorebel]

Hmmm. [She makes a bit of a production before replying, although they both already knew her answer.]

You might want to save that for when he threatens Anakin.

[thefinaljedi]

He won't, he knows better.

[No, he doesn't...]

[borntorebel]

Are you sure about that? This is Han we're talking about. Besides, we both know that I didn't get my temper from Mother or my father.

[thefinaljedi]

No, it's definitely from Anakin...

[borntorebel]

[She shakes her head, still smiling. It doesn't touch her eyes and only time alone to think will help.]

I'll see you later. Tomorrow will produce better results, hopefully.
