But - I - no, but -

I don't want a dramatic canon update. You've finally decided not to go with Sith-me, yeah, but... I don't... That's still a dark place, and everything's different. And yeah, the game is getting darker, and... yeah. I wouldn't be at all helpless, I wouldn't get left behind all the time. But I just - I just!

Just not yet. Okay? There are - there's still things you can do with me before then. It doesn't have to be now, or next week, or in the next month even - Please. Wait for people to come back from the battle. Wait.

A little longer.

A little longer.



I don't see why you want to cry about it, it's your choice.

*which is something she doesn't mind at all, fingers combing lightly through the back of his hair*

I know, and it's all right.

[sandwormie]

I just - I don't want that, but it's going to happen, but-

[packing_again]

Hey, it's all right, sweetie. It isn't happening quite yet, and even when it does, you'll be able to find us again. And we'll be there.

[sandwormie]

You promise?

[packing_again]

I promise.

[sandwormie]

I guess... that's the best I can hope for.

[packing_again]

*big hug time now* Hey, it isn't all bad. You'd be back to your aunt and uncle, and you wouldn't even miss the rest.

[sandwormie]

I... yeah. Yeah.

[packing_again]

*so softly* That moment when you realise that not remembering is far less of a comfort than you expected.

[sandwormie]

I'd just go crazy if I remembered it all. Even... even aside from the future stuff, and my friends, I'd feel all trapped just being on one tiny part of one really boring world all the time, again. But...

[packing_again]

*juuust hugs him tighter* It will work out as it should, Luke. It usually does.

[sandwormie]

[He just sighs and leans against her. Luke is getting taller, but he's bony, thin.]

Twelve years is a long time. I guess... maybe I won't remember why, but...

I'll miss you, River.

[packing_again]

I'll miss you too, Luke. But we'll definitely see each other around. No matter what.

[sandwormie]

Okay.


I'll be different. When it happens. I don't know how different, but - yeah.

[packing_again]

Well. It does look like we have some more adventures before that, doesn't it?
