Two suns...reminds me of home.

So does the heat. Although Tatooine, my home, was worse because it was a desert place.

It's a little better, though, really. At least it has water...not sure I'd have the supplies to cobble moisture vaporators together.

[Luke kinda thinks it's a cross between Tatooine and Yavin IV...a jungle with two suns. He'll manage, but he does wonder what his dad thinks.

Did you come through the battle all right?

That is a grievous thing to hear. And it has not healed, in all that time! That poor world! I can understand why you would be glad to leave. And an ice planet? Never tell poor cousin Fingon about that!

[farmboyjedi]

That, and it tends to attract criminal types, since it's quite a ways from the capital.

Hoth, the ice world, did make a good place to hide for a while from the Empire that was hunting us, but I don't care to go back. I'm not sure who he is, but I won't.

[bythewaves]

He's with the guard - you'll know him by the gold in his braids. Or the fact that my brother Maedhros is almost always by his side!

It sounds a most interesting place, in truth - if dangerous! And do you mean the town you stayed in was far from the capital or that there was another ... ah, planet? that was the capital?

[farmboyjedi]

Ah. I guess it's a strange thing with siblings. They love being around each other, yet sometimes they still disagree about things. But I think the good outweighs the bad.

Another planet. Many races in our galaxy have had the means to travel long distances since ancient times, humans included. Normally, it would take a long time, but a way was found to make it a lot faster. Hyperdrive, we call it. But even as often as I travel through space, I'm still amazed at how it's possible.

[bythewaves]

Travel amongst the stars... how wonderful! You are truly blessed, to be able to do such things. It must be difficult, being trapped here.

[farmboyjedi]

It is amazing at times.

Sometimes it is, yes. But it's brought me good things, too, opportunities I could not have had back home. Chances to know my family better...

[bythewaves]

It is good to reconnect with family! Who have you have here?

[farmboyjedi]

My parents. Back home, they died when I was a baby.

[Well, in a way his father did. Anakin was still trapped inside, but he was all but dead until Luke was able to reach him later.]

Ai! That is a grief indeed - I am glad you have the chance to meet them here, then.

[farmboyjedi]

It's complicated at times, but it's a good thing, yes.

[bythewaves]

I am happy for you! Family can often be complicated at the best of times - I imagine tis far worse with the time issue.

[farmboyjedi]

That's quite true. I'm still glad to get to know them, though. It is the only chance I probably will have to spend time with my parents.

[bythewaves]

Any chance like that is to be grasped with both hands. [ He agrees ] I hope you have a good long time to get to know each other.

[farmboyjedi]

Yes, definitely. [He nods.]

Thanks, it's going all right so far. A little awkward with them being younger than I, and a few family troubles, and I just met my mother, but so far so good.

[bythewaves]

Younger! Ai but that sounds awkward, yes. But any chance is a good one. May it go well!

[farmboyjedi]

Thank you. Hopefully it will.

end here?

[bythewaves]

Good fortune then, my friend! May it be so.

Re: end here?

[farmboyjedi]

Thank you. The same to you.
