Yeah, I can see how that'd be confusing. It's confusing for Anakin, too, and they're just uncle and niece.
Sounds to me like you're like most every other normal parent in the galaxy. Just because the bond a parent feels with a child didn't happen for you until he was seventeen thanks to this place doesn't make it any less real.
Okay, but only if you call me Tahiri. Nobody calls me 'Ms. Veila'. Half the time I don't even offer my last name.
I'm fifteen. I know that's young here, but this place's standards, but back home I'm already pretty involved in a big war that's taking place and I've been trained how to fight in them since I was nine. There are other 'adult' Jedi here too. I'm sure they'd be the ones doing more of the actual helping. Maybe.
