Contact: 1 - Time to say hello
[ The viewpoint spins very slowly and smoothly, not showing a face but a tree, the bark, a branch, a nest. Occasionally tiny fuzzy grey heads stick out over the nest, and their squawking can be heard. The nestlings are grey and white, with pin feathers and a couple have a crest. Someone is studying a nest of blue jays. ]
I’m pretty sure there is a parent around, but only pretty sure. I don’t really know what they are either. Some kind of bird but? Are they going to be alright? They keep yelling.
[ Help a new import out? ]
Which isn’t what I was thinking about saying, but they caught my attention. Anyway, I’ve been filled in, including being told I was here before, even if I don’t remember.
[ With that Anakin pulls the device closer to him, turning it to record him. He’s young, the scar over his face fresh and his hair is very short – he’s only recently knighted and had his braid cut, and his hair is still very short from the more traditional haircut. And his smile is not quite confident, even shy. ]
My name’s Anakin Skywalker, I’ve been here a couple days now. And um, so you need a ‘driver’s license’ I’ve been told. How many of you have gotten one, how did you do it? I’ve been a pilot all my life, these cars have to be easier than a ship. Even a speeder.

I. I. TATOOINE?
What. Why? Sola would have... Or
[ Anakin scrubbed at his face with his hand as he half muttered names. ]
I'm going to. Nonah. Padmé.
[ Hang on, his brain is running in literally no less than fifteen different directions - just verbally. He actually puts the device, screen down, on his thigh; every few seconds picking it up to quickly look and make sure Luke is still there, then putting it back. After several minutes he picks it up to stare at Luke. ]
Where do you live?

I live in Heropa, but... I'm not there at the moment.

So do I! I mean. I'm half to Nonah right now - and I. Probably won't be back tonight. But. When we are both back, I can - could - come see you? Or, you could come to us if you wanted to?
[ He's going to see his wife, of course, he's not planning on coming back tonight. No war, no Jedi, no senate to chase him from her bed and pull her from his arms. They'll get to wake up together! He's deeply excited for that. ]

[ Luke hesitated, not sure how to answer that. He wasn't sure if he could handle this all over again. How long would it be before he disappeared again? Would he come back and forget him all over again? Would he... be able to maintain his faith in the Force if this kept up? ]
...sure. I'll let you know when I return.

Um Luke? Are you all right?
Private | Video
[ Didn't stop him from trying. ]
I'm fine. Just... a lot going on.
Private | Video
I wouldn't be.
Private | Video
I know you wouldn't.

[ He doesn't think you are either Luke. ]
Private | Video
[ He might have said that too fast, and he flinched, looking away guiltily. ]
No, it's... I'll be okay. It's something I need to come to terms with.

That doesn't mean you need to do it alone. I might not be able to help but company is can help.
