She listened attentively, not opening her mouth to interrupt him, even though.. well, that hadn't been exactly what she meant. It was still eye-opening, and she was glad he was telling her. Adults being trained to be Jedi? She'd heard that Anakin was older than most when he was accepted to the temple, but that was the exception. It had caused problems with the council. Her promotion might have, too. The council could sometimes get stuck on rules.
"Really?" The idea of having professions outside of being a Jedi was strange to her. Sure, the Jedi worked with politicians and with the military.. But they were Jedi first. "Forty years makes a lot of difference," she marveled. Her mood seemed to be lighter now, as she loaded her spoon up with chocolate syrup. "But.. What do you do here?" She hadn't seen much, but the tech seemed really low compared to what she was used to. The vehicles were all on the ground. Maybe it was a really primitive world, and Anakin would show her the more advanced ones later.
