Yes, well perhaps not sending me off to some unfamiliar land is the best. We can both agree we are worn quite thin at the moment. [ He bestows a gentle, kind smile.] You shouldn't feel a need to alarm yourself over something so trivial, Mundane.

Oh, I'm the last person you should thank, Luke.

[the_jedi]

I still want to thank you. I want you to understand how much you mean to me.

[eccentricolduncle]

[His smile is gentle, humble, and kind.] That's quite all right, son.

[Luke gives him a faint, sad one in return.] The Force is with you... Master.

[eccentricolduncle]

As it is with you, Luke.

You'd make your father proud.

[the_jedi]

I already have. I didn't do what you wanted of me - but I think it worked out for the best.

[eccentricolduncle]

[Oh yes, exactly like his father. He chuckles.] That it did.

[There's actually a novel where ghost!Ben is describing Luke to Yoda as headstrong and impulsive, and Yoda says that reminds him of another young Jedi, and when Ben immediately starts listing off the ways Luke is not like Anakin, Yoda cuts him off and says Luke sounds like Obi-Wan. ...It was really sweet.]

It's all right. The - 'certain points of view'. I was angry then, even if I didn't say.

But it's all right.

[eccentricolduncle]

The feelings you hold about what we kept from you... I'm glad you know how to handle them now.

[the_jedi]

[He exhales slowly, in what could be a soft sigh.]

As am I. It hurt, but I understand why you felt you had to do it.
