Rey & Luke

Sighing, Rey leaned back in her seat. "It certainly does other things when least expected." She supposed that made sense, even if she didn't understand it. The Force was...well, a force, and like other forces, it had a way--or ways--it works. And she was still figuring that out, and expected she would be for a long while.

She glanced at Luke and smiled. "I am glad you're here. And that General Organa is here. It's nice not to be the only one from...where we're from."

Her smile was infectious. He could see what Leia was talking about, and he probed a little bit more in the Force.

Leia wanted to know if this young woman was Breha. With her forgotten memories, it was hard to tell for sure, not without probing far deeper than Luke thought appropriate. But her strong Force vision, her friction with Ben, the longing and confusion he felt flowing from her—he was quite certain she was. And he really needed to stop probing at her mind. She would probably notice.

"I'm glad I'm here, too. And I'm glad to meet you. I've been in exile long enough that being in a new place and meeting new people is genuinely refreshing." He held up his drink to signal to her and took another sip. "Do you have the lightsaber with you?"

Rey had noticed a sort of...tickle at the edge of her mind, not invasive, but still odd-feeling. But almost as soon as she'd noticed it, it was gone. Strange, but she wasn't terribly bothered by it. She smiled at his take on ending up in this strange new world.

"I do, yes. The people here are very good about giving you your things back once they've had a look at them." She reached into the satchel slung around her shoulders and drew out the lightsaber--hers now, Luke's before, and his father's before him. She held it out to him.

Luke took the hilt with a smile and turned it over in his hands. When he'd lost it, he was devastated, partially because he had no idea how to build another, and wasn't sure he'd ever be able to wield one properly minus a hand. But, he overcame the hand, and eventually learned how to construct a new one, a weapon that had been his far longer than this one was.

Anakin's blade had a pretty finish, in that sleek style they had lost with the Old Republic. It was beautiful.

But the blade had seen its share of good and bad. It had slain so, so many innocent lives, far too many children, Luke now knew. It could have brought Obi-Wan's death, had he not been quicker.

This same blade had helped lead Luke on the path than ultimately took him off-planet with Obi-Wan, into the Rebellion, and down the path of the Jedi.

A weapon could not be defined by the actions of its owner. But the owner could be judged by how they choose to wield it.

He gave it back to her. "I'm glad it's found a worthy new owner. I was perhaps a little careless with it. Not because the hand holding it got chopped off, though that is how I lost it, but because I faced a challenge I wasn't ready for. Now is a good time, Rey, to prepare for upcoming challenges, in a relatively safe environment. And I'll do whatever I can to help you."

Rey watched Luke's face as he examined the hilt. It must be strange, she thought, seeing it again after so many years of believing it was lost forever. She smiled when he gave it back to her, and she tucked it safely back in her bag.

"Thank you," she said. "I'd certainly appreciate all the help you can manage." And, as he said, it was a relatively safe environment to learn in, as the First Order didn't exist in this place.

	"Good," he said as he stood up. "But not tonight. I'll find you later. Enjoy the rest of your evening, okay?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Luke smiled and left. He considered approaching Leia, but decided it was probably better to just go talk to her later. Besides, she had been plenty busy talking to other people. She didn't need her brother hanging around. With one last glance back at Rey, Luke took his leave. (Reply to this) (Parent)
