When Siri had told Luke that she had mostly been keeping to herself, she wasn't lying. She spoke briefly to those who lived around her, those who she was trying to gain insight into her own future from, but for the most part, she stayed in her apartment or in the complex's library, frustratedly trying to find some way to help out with whatever it was they were facing here. Still, that didn't mean she hadn't noticed Luke, because she had. She had noticed how, just days after his arrival, he started staying in his own room as well, avoiding Leia's calls upon him and more or less staying just as quiet as Siri had - uncharacteristic for the both of them, she assumed, from what she had learned of the shared Skywalker traits. And naturally, she had felt him, too, when he arrived - his presence in the Force was strong, and scattered, firing neurons all over the place. It wasn't difficult for Siri to realize he came from a time where he was untrained in his own strengths.
And it all felt strangely familiar - muffled by both physical and metaphorical distance, but still the presence was as though Siri had felt something very similar once before. That was what gave her pause, minutes before deciding to go visit Luke in his apartment. Instead of rushing out and going there quickly, as she would do in any other circumstance, she stood on the inside of her own apartment door, palms flat against the wood, and thought quickly of all that Cade had told her of the Clone Wars, thought of all she had learned through the communication boards. Siri was from...such a different time. But out of everyone she had crossed, it seemed that Luke was the one she could understand the most, was the one closest to her own ideals.
So her hesitation was short-lived, and after a few moments, she slipped out of her own apartment and padded silently across the large hallway to the door she knew was Luke's, knocking a few times, and hoping he was over his little spell of not answering the door for anyone.
