[He chuckles sheepishly.]

Um... You're welcome. You, uh, you did it man! Coolness achieved!

[beardstrokes]

[ Now he's definitely sure something's up. ]

You know, if you have heard of me before, you're welcome to say so. It's not a surprise anymore.

[digthefuzz]

[He freezes up.]

Wh-what's not a surprise anymore?

[beardstrokes]

Being known. To some degree.

[ And Kurt isn't exactly a great liar. ]

Why not just tell me?

[digthefuzz]

[He really isn't.]

Be-because... I don't know. Wouldn't it be weird to know you're in a movie?

[beardstrokes]

Not particularly. While I have not personally featured in holovids, I'm aware of my reputation.

[digthefuzz]

W-well.... It's a great reputation. You're a hero, man.

[beardstrokes]

[ A long pause. ]

. . . I'm really not. Heroic, I mean.

[digthefuzz]

You are to me, you know. Even if you don't think you are.

[beardstrokes]

[ For a brief moment, he struggles with a response to that. He can't even recall the last time he did something that remotely came close to heroic or even kind. He may have prevented disasters but he also brought with him, a unique kind of disaster, that only war can bring. ]

I am a Jedi. We do our best.

[digthefuzz]

[He shrugs and offers a soft smile.]

Sometimes that's all you have to do, you know? [Kurt's not ready to be talked out of considering a hero to be a hero, even by the hero himself. ...Of course, he can't get completely into things because the last thing this guy needs is to have his whole life and death spoiled.]

You got this!

[beardstrokes]

[ He smiles, warming up somewhat. Who was he to tell someone off for what they believe in? Even if he's not sure of his heroic record these days. ]

I'll try not to let you down then.

[digthefuzz]

Heh... You don't even have to sweat it, man.

Just, um, may the Force be with you. [He can't believe he's doing it, he's really saying The Thing to Obi-Wan himself.]

[beardstrokes]

[ His lips twitch. ]

And with you.

[digthefuzz]

[He looks all too giddy at that. He just... waves and scurries away.]

[beardstrokes]

[ Hm. He makes a mental note of that. He's sure there's something Kurt knows that he doesn't. ]
