I'm trying to build my own life now, and you want to drag me off to space? What happened to staying home and writing? Just me and K9 and Brendan until he goes back to school. I don't need any more trouble.

No, I'm serious! I'm done traveling time and space. This just wouldn't be the same.

Well, that's a term I know, actually. People use it in my world to talk about traveling through dangerous terrain. Like canyons and jagged rocks, I imagine. The bush is more of an idea.

Oh, yeah? Huh! Why is it called the bush? I've seen some in gardens on Coruscant. They're not very dangerous.

[headstronger]

Well, in my world, they were talking about someplace called Africa in particular. I've never been, but there were all these stories about traveling into the African bush, which was sometimes like a jungle but also sometimes like a dangerous desert. It's more of a collective idea than a reference to an actual plant.

Weird! I guess that happened with people who settled Tatooine too. They took the term with them.

The little coincidences between worlds are funny sometimes. That's one I never would have guessed.

[sandwormie]

Yeah. Man, isn't the galaxy great?

It really is pretty fascinating. I'll look forward to meeting you again.
