Everything I've said about the Jedi and their clothes, I take it all back.

I've managed to acquire some mortuary swords. Are you up for a spar in the garden?

I need your ear.

Hey, breathe. Do we need to get you a drink? Because you sound like you could use one.

I wasn't suggesting you were planning to just throw it on them now. As far as I know, you're not an insensitive dick, but I know that's a fuzzy line between not fucking up their happiness and not wanting to keep secrets from people you care about. I don't even know if there's a right answer to that.

Believe it or not, I get what you mean. It has to be weird for you to see him so grown up when he never was for you. You were a baby when he died, right? You never got the chance to know him? I can only imagine how weird this must all be for you. And how hard it must be to know everything you know about the future and have to figure out what to share and what to keep to yourself. It's a fucking crappy position to be in. Any idiot could see that.

He should here it from Jacen, but I doubt that's going to happen and I don't think you're the bad guy for refusing to keep it from Anakin. I know you only want to do what's right. Maybe that doesn't mean a lot, but you've got me in your corner, whatever that's worth.

Does this world even drink? The word puritan doesn't sound much like excess, let alone alcohol-infused haziness.

Although it's sometimes it's easier said than done, I do try not to be a massive dick. Thank you for noticing, even if I feel like one every tome Jacen talks down to me.

I've been aboard the Anakin Solo, but that doesn't count. During a mission, I met a droid with a copy of Anakin's consciousness. He ended up destroying himself, to do the right thing. [...] But Anakin, in the flesh? No. But then he got old. That's good. Quick? But good? There's two timelines in my head. It gets confusing.

I tried to tell him that. I even offered up an ultimatum, he or me. But then he got all smug.

Am I doing the right hing?

Sure they do. I mean, even if the high and mightys don't or don't want to admit it, there'll be booze around somewhere. The more taboo something is, the more determined people are to have it. I bet we can find some good stuff.

I don't know if it's the right thing or not, not for sure, but it doesn't feel right to sit on this and not at least offer to tell them. Maybe start with Tahiri, ask her if she wants to know her future. If she doesn't, maybe it wouldn't be fair to make Anakin keep this from her, too, but if she does want to know, then I think telling them is the right thing to do, even if it's going to piss Jacen off.
