[Excuse the owlish-eyed girl with the weird pasted-on smile. She has things to talk about!]

Attention...!

I will not use names, because I don't want to embarrass them, b-but...! I needed to tell a very particular pilot something very important! And that is this: if you do d-decide to propose to Miss L — to, ummmm... to your girlfriend, you should not give her a ring made out of spaceship parts. Because that's kind of strange to wear. I believe that sort of advice should be applied to everyone, though...!

Unless the person you love really, really, really enjoys spaceships.

I suppose we should all wear what makes us happy!

I do admit, I've always wanted jewelry... I-I mean, I know they're very expensive most of the time, but I've never gotten to wear any before. Maybe I should make some! Oh, but I don't think I would be very good at it... Is there a particular way to make nice jewelry, even for someone like me? Necklaces and rings and....

....

I don't think I can wear earrings. That seems like it would hurt.

Ah!! I apologize, I guess I've been thinking so much about different topics! Like — games, and stories, and stuff to wear, and so many new things that I've never gotten to enjoy myself before. I think I even have.... friends! Do I? Is there a level that I need to reach with people before I can be friends with them? P-perhaps there's a way to officiate friendships...

Maybe with rings, like marriage! Friendship rings!!

I guess that's true...

But... What if you think someone is your friend, but they turn out not to be?

That would be a very sad thing, to have happen.

[ Sadly, that's kind of normal. And considering the Clone Wars encouraged suspicion and deceit . . . ]

Unfortunately, there's no way to stop it from happening. Still, that doesn't mean your feelings aren't pure.

[She sits in silence, thoughtful.

So scary, that a friend could be... something else, and you'd never know until they hurt you.]

Are they still your friend, even if they... turn into someone else? Someone bad?

[ Are they? Obi-Wan doesn't know how the knowledge of Darth Vader had changed him, but he's sure it did change him irrevocably.

Would all of Obi-Wan's feelings matter in the end? He has loved strongly, quietly, without holding on.

Loving someone has never changed their fate.

Finally, he manages an answer. ]

I think that's up to you to decide. And how you feel. Sometimes . . . that person can come back to the Light if they know you care.

[ A childish belief, one he's purged long ago. But he does still believe anyone can return from the Dark. ]

Do people do that often?

... Come back to 'the light'?

[ Often? Not in his experience. Would Dooku ever return to them? Would anyone? ]

Whether they do or not . . . we should not dismiss the possibility.

Because it's important to give anyone a chance?

[ He nods, relaxing. ]

Yes. At least, that is what I believe.

Then I'll remember that, Mr. Obi-Wan. And if any of my friends start going towards the darker place, I'll try to help get them out! That's how it's supposed to be, right?

That's how it is.

[ At least, it's a policy he tries to uphold. ]
