Library [18.04]

Karal was early this morning, and he spent his time before the library opened sipping his tea and staring out the window.

Luke took a deep breath. "And Jaina's here and trained and normal. I can't screw it up too much."

"Exactly!" Karal beamed at him. "And, if you do, umm, screw up, acknowledge it, forgive yourself and move on. No brooding over mistakes."

"I leave that to other Skywalkers," Luke said, eyes sparkling.

He tried not to laugh.

He failed. "That's all I'm going to be able to think about in class next week! If I get detention, I'm blaming you."

"I'd be more than happy to sit in detention with you," Luke promised. "That man can brood like he's getting paid for it."

"I may end up with it, even if I avoid the brooding issue," he said. "Seeing as I missed class this week, and took Evey with me."

"You're both all right?" Luke checked, thinking like his father would.

"We are, yes," he replied after a moment, because in some respects they were rather better, and in others not quite all right. "Tired, because it was an early start this morning, but all right."

Luke nodded, listening for clues in the Force, but as always never pushing anything. "He'd worry."

Easier for him to push it onto his father than take responsibility for worrying as well.

"He does that a lot," Karal said with a small smile. "I'll try and reassure him."

"He'll pretend he doesn't need to hear it," Luke said.

"I could pretend I'm not trying to reassure him?" he suggested then frowned. "Trying to trick your father is a bad idea, isn't it?"

"He sees right through it," Luke admitted. "It's kind of a Jedi thing. Try getting something past Jaina some time."

"Oh, no." He shook his head emphatically. "I'm not going to try that. I don't need another reason to beg her forgiveness!"

"Another reason?" Luke asked, raising an eyebrow.

"There's been three bouts of Fandom Weirdness that saw me being rude to her, or embarrassing myself," he explained. "And they were more than enough."

Luke, to his credit, didn't laugh. "I'm sure she understood."

"She did, and she didn't even hurt me." He laughed sheepishly. "I, for one, am not going to push her restraint."

"Probably a good thing," Luke teased. "Her mom's got a temper on her."
