Dealing With Loss [Friday, October 1, after classes]

[momslilassassin]

When the students came into the room, they would see Ben and Anakin talking quietly with an older blond man who resembled them both rather closely.

Ben turned around and smiled at the assembled group. "Hey. I'm betting the next few days might be pretty tough on a lot of you," he began, "which is why I want you all to meet my dad." He waved his hand towards the older man. "This is Luke Skywalker, the Grand Master of the Jedi and, even if this totally blows all of my teenaged disdain out the airlock, a pretty astral listener."

Luke gave his son a slightly bemused look. "Thank you, Ben."

Ben ran his hands through his hair. "So, yeah. I don't want any of you to feel alone on this weekend where we kind of get beat over the head with family time." He smiled. "So you can borrow my dad." He looked around at the rest of the students. "Anyone got something they need to talk about?"

"Then Ben has learned new skills," Luke said with a laugh, "and I gladly turn over dinner making duties to him."

He would regret that decision.

"I've been a big influence on him that way," Karla explained, nodding. "I've been improving my baking skills with classes and such."

You just keep paddling down that river, Karla.

"Has he taught you anything?" Luke asked.

"Yes," said Karla, dropping her jocular tone. "He's taught me a great deal. And been a good friend to me the entire time. One of the best. One of my best."

Luke smiled. "I am very glad to hear that."

Ben had always been a little lonely at home.

Which just meant Karla should try that much harder to keep Ben in Kaeleer. So there.

"No more than I am to have him," Karla said.
