thefinaljedi | 6th Transmission, Stopping to smell the Kibo...[Video/Action]

[Luke Skywalker has had an eventful few weeks, what with Anakin arriving, and breaking the news to his father about his rather dark future, not to mention the New Feather cycle. He'd patrolled the woods for newcomers, and spent many afternoons introducing himself to and attempting to help New Feathers get adjusted to life in Luceti. Not to mention the recent the blank...day from the last weekend.

That was beginning to be a common theme, blank days in his memory, and it was starting to be more than mildly disconcerting. Luke was genuinely starting to get angry at having his mind wiped by the Malnosso. To alleviate some of this, Luke decided that today would probably be an excellent day for exercise, and perhaps finding someone to train with. He'd talked to some people in the past about working on Jedi philosophy, martial training, and even meditative practice but due to the New Feather cycle, Anakin, and the confusion regarding the attack on the Battle Dome things had just not worked out.

He sends out a message to the village in Video form during the morning, before stepping outside to begin his own practice]

Good morning Luceti. I trust this morning finds you all well. I have a bit of a request. I would like to find someone to help me train today. Its been a while since I've had anyone to spar with, and equally as long since I've had an exercise partner. If anyone is interested, please contact me. I will be around Community House Five, so if you'd prefer, please stop by.

Moreover, if anyone is interested, I feel like today is a fine day for a hike and would love company.

[After his morning, he heads about his business in the village, stopping by the shops to pick up a few odds and ends like nutrient bars, a travelling pack, and some canteens.

Following this, he begins to make preparations for a rather lengthy hike, planning on heading out into the woods and just walking until he feels like its time to turn around. Why? Because he knows that he needs to relax and take time to smell the Kibo. Even if there aren't any Kibo flowers here. All the little things are starting to build up, and he can ill afford a tantrum of his own, having just prevented Anakin's explosion the previous week.

Its a fine spring day, and he does hope that someone will join him on his walk]

(OOC: Feel free to grab Luke pretty much anywhere. In the morning, in town, over the journal, before his hike, out on his walk, or really whatever you want.)

Ben chose where it was you and Leia should go. I went along to keep my word, and to keep an eye on him. He wasn't the most talented when it came to dealing with infants. If he'd attempted to raise you himself, it would have gone badly.

I'd NEVER have guessed Ben was bad with kids. Ever.

Comically awful. I had to leave a high profit, high risk duel and hop over three planets to help him watch some diplomat's brat.

Really? And you were a mercenary?

Duelist, Little Skywalker. It's the only formal title I ever took. Nobles with lightfoils aren't anywhere near as much a challenge as facing a Jedi- but it kept me from becoming terribly rusty.

You...dueled? For fun and profit? Was there a market for such things, truly?

It was one of my more legitimate forms of employment. It was also an excellent networking tool. Besides. Most of those I dueled were pompous, self important idiots. So I did not feel terribly bad about taking their money.

Thats fair. So you admit to working less than savory means to get by?

[He's teasing of course]

Your Auntie is quite the scoundrel, Little Skywalker. Why else do you think Ben had so many grey hairs?

I'd just figured it was hiding, but finding out he's married to you? That...would do it

I am not that terrible- well yes. Yes I am. And I regret none of it.

As it should be.

[He grabs her up in another hug. Clearly, he's not so angry anymore]

[For a moment, and only a moment, Adele is terribly sad. This is a man she will never live to meet, someone she wishes with everything that she is she'd be able to see. All they have is here. It passes, as she shakes off the emotion and returns the hug. It doesn't matter that she'll never meet him outside of Luceti. She's here for him now, however he needs her.]

Why are you Skywalkers always so tall, mm?

Maybe its in our blood? Why are you so short?

I always told Ani whenever I did see him that it was because I did not eat enough nutrients or minerals while I was his age. Apparently it did the trick.

It must have!

[He breaks the hug and walks over to tap out a few commands on the console. Naboo shifts back into the holoroom]

Why don't we go have tea, and stop feeling sorry for ourselves?

[Adele drops back down off of her toes once Luke steps back, watching her family's home flicker and fade. After a moment she shrugs and turns a smile on Luke.]

Tea is an excellent idea, you can't feel sorry for yourself when you're enjoying tea. I've tried it. Can't be done.

Exactly, lets get going.
