[Oh, this won't be awkward at all.]

It wasn't just those rebels who taught me to stand up for what I think is right.

[yeah. not even remotely awkward.]

Uh...hi, Snips.

[jedi_interrupted]

Hey, Master.

What'cha been up to?

[bewareyourheart]

[trying to inject some levity into his tone, and failing:] But I haven't been slaving, or using my men as human shields, or trying to kill my son....so, not that bad, all things considered.

None of this would've happened if I hadn't failed you. And now...

[bewareyourheart]

I swore I'd never let anyone hurt you.

One more vow to break, I guess.

you know who i am but you have to figure it out

[shiningheart]

Well... hindsight is always twenty twenty, right?
