Well. It doesn't seem like something to be embarrassed about.
So she decides to reach out to Ezra.]
Ezra...just so you know...I just saw a memory. And I think it was yours.
no subject
...I know that doesn't necessarily make it better. You didn't get to choose. [Especially since he's sure the boy - Lief - had been family, and his guess is the boy is almost certainly dead.
He looks back through his Omni's log to see what she got and breathes out a sigh of relief.]
Oh, this is a good one. Heh. Aside from 15 year old me's anger issues.
[His expression blossoms into a smile.] I'm happy to share this one with you, Airy.
no subject
[And a part of her is genuinely afraid of what Ezra saw. Better to focus on him. Better to try to breeze by her own past.
A long shot, but she has to try…]
Whose voice was that?
no subject
He keeps his smile bright, not minding questions.]
That was Master Yoda! He wasn't physically there - I'm still not sure exactly where he was. But I was in a place very strong in the Force, and I assume he was too, for us to make a connection across the galaxy.
When I was a little older and more trained, the next time we could talk, we had a connection strong enough that I saw what he looked like. He was about...three feet tall. And green! [He knows that would be of particular interest to her.] Clawed hands.
Long pointed ears - like....do your elves have ears like that? He was also really, really old. Somewhere about 900, I'm told. He was Grandmaster of the Jedi Order, for a long time. And I know he loved teaching the younglings. The kids barely past infanthood until they were old enough for more formal training.
Luke knows him better, actually. [At least in some ways. He... doesn't get the sense Yoda told Luke many stories about the Temple. Luke knew Yoda in his very final years.] Most of his training was with Master Yoda.
no subject
Perhaps, in another universe, they could have been related!
Distantly. Like Alastrians and dragons.]
If he touched your life and Luke's life, then he must be someone very special.
...why did he speak that way, though?
no subject
That....I have noooooo idea.
no subject
[She could honestly listen to it and analyze it for days.
But it would only be speculation.]
What was the blue crystal?
no subject
It's a kyber crystal. It's...not quite alive or intelligent, the way people are, but it's, hmm, spiritually alive? Very attuned to the Force. It can act as a focus of the Force sensitive person's connection to the Force. Every crystal is a little different, and may or may not match, um, optimally with a particular person.
Once the oldest traditions for Force using sects, including the Jedi, is going to a place where there's a concentration of kyber crystal as a rite of passage. The Force acts in special ways in those sorts of places. Draws out hopes and fears. Shows connections. Gives visions to people not prone to visions most of the time.
Whatever your experience is, the idea is the ordeal can bring you to a crystal you're suited to.
That day, I'd already had visions of fears that felt completely real. Talking to Yoda was just the last bit.
Oh, and for Jedi, the kyber you get is traditionally the heart and focus of your lightsaber.
no subject
[She pauses to consider the right word.]
Well, there's something kind of beautiful about it. Growing up is all about hope and fear, isn't it?
[Said like some kind of expert, at the ripe, old age of twenty one...]
Does that mean that Luke and the others did the same thing too? Maul? Savage?
no subject
Sith...do it differently, anyway. They, um, usually bombard their crystals with emotions meant to bend it to their will. 'Bleeding', it's usually called. That's what turns them their lightsabers red.
no subject
That...that sounds like something Maul or Savage would do, yeah.
no subject
Yeah. Crystals that have been bled like that can be...healed, too. I don't know exactly how it works, aside from, I assume, the general inverse? Acceptance?
no subject
It's still incredible to me that a living body can heal, let alone a crystal.
no subject
no subject
Do you still have your crystal?
no subject
Uh. Anakin shattered my first 'saber. Darth Vader, I mean. When I was sixteen.
no subject
So what did you do?
no subject
Except I was there about 900 years before the Empire was formed. Uh. There were a couple of groups of aliens we were in contact with, in Temba. They claimed they couldn't send us all home, but sometimes they would send all of us to random places.
no subject
Oh.
That's either not official, or very, very official.
no subject
Right? Well, everyone at the Temple was very kind. They gave the strange group of Jedi refugees a lot of gifts.
Even if they were not quite sure what to make of Master Kenobi fussing over Padmé when she went into labor.
no subject
no subject
no subject
no subject
...yeah.
[He shakes pensive (with a hint of angry) moment off.]
At any rate, since Anakin wasn't there, and Obi-wan was, bystanders definitely made assumptions. Which was just a little funny.
no subject
I'm...not sure I understand what you mean.
