Stop that. I'm not a little kid - thirteen, mun. Thirteen. I am mostly an adult! I can think abstractly! I can know that an adult's not perfect without hating them for it! I can have responsibilities.

That is officially too old to be "cute".

[What if it's girls calling you that?] ...I... um... I'm too busy for that kind of thing. Plus it's embarrassing, especially in front of people!

[She just laughs a bit. You'll always be cute to her, Luke.]

[The most mature of scowls!]

[Aw, Luke! She is still very amused, but she'll try to hide it...maybe.] What would you rather people think of you?

That I can get things done? That I... can be strong but also kind? I don't know! Just not someone who gets patted on the head and laughed at!

Cute doesn't take away from those things. It endears you to people and allows you to be seen in a favorable light. The rest can be earned in time.

[She tilts her head a bit.] Someday you'll do great things, Luke. You don't have to force it to happen too soon. Just enjoy being a reliable, strong, and cute kid now.

It's condescending. When it's used like this, I mean.

But when it happens it's going to happen very suddenly. Or that's how it'll seem, to the others.

I think moments of greatness are always sudden. That's part of what makes them great. They don't give up, and they end up surprising everyone. I know you're still unsure about him, but when I first met your father he did something similar.

[She presses her lips together; she doesn't want to push him, but she does want him to feel better.]

What exactly did they say?

Mm. I'm thinking about that... canon update thing. I don't know when it's going to happen, but... it will be sudden.

Does that mean you'll be going away for a while?

I don't know. I'll go into a coma here - in the game, I mean - and a week later I'll wake up twelve years older.

There's nothing wrong with who you are now.

[Though she doubts her words will make any difference. Luke and Anakin both seem so far out of her reach already.]

Just-- [She drops her eyes and lets out a short sigh.] I'm glad I got to meet you, like this.

[One of the main differences is that Luke doesn't shut people out as well... and he can't ignore how they react to whatever he's saying or doing. Have a gesturing attempt to explain.]

It's just that I'm so helpless. I have to always stay behind, because if I don't people will have to watch me so I don't get killed or something. I mean, I'm thirteen - I can fight some, but I know I'm not a soldier or anything.

Don't talk like that. Please. I don't even know if it's going to happen soon... my mundane just flip-flops on it so much.
