Comments

[seaoflight]

Just a bit. She's grown up well though.

[A beat.]

How did you two meet?

[stefanged]

On the Marsiva, actually. We arrived at the same time, and when you're stuck on a big ship with only each other...

[He folds his arms, looking almost thoughtful.] Well, she talked to me first. I was writing it all down, and there she was, looking out the bay window.

[seaoflight]

Fair enough. I was alone when I arrived, which...well, it wasn't terribly comforting, but I could feel other Jedi around so it wasn't so bad.

[A comfort, that.]

She's always been fond of space. We both are, to tell the truth. Seeing all those stars...

[stefanged]

All the way on the Marsiva? [Now that's news to him.] Huh.

[He won't dwell on that now, instead seizing the subject change.]

It's beautiful out there. I never thought I'd see them this close and personal. Growing up, the closest you could get was a telescope.

[seaoflight]

Yes. If you know...how...to sense a presence, it's not difficult. Even at a great distance, especially with the kinds of Jedi that are here.

[Chosen ones.]

You're from Earth, then?

[A planet she's come to associate with non-spacefaring civilizations.]

[stefanged]

[He nods, half-wondering how many Earthlings she'd run into before...] Right. I'd never left it prior to arriving here.

We've got some space travel, but it's nothing on this scale.
