So You Just Met Your Relative From The Future, Friday

[saddeserthermit]

"Okay," Ben began. "My cousins were twins--a boy and a girl about sixteen years older than me, and I left them back in my home galaxy...and met my cousin Jaina here, only now she was just about my age."

"Sometimes, you will meet relatives from other timelines. We have already covered this," Obi-Wan said. He spread his arms. "What we have not, is the peculiar awkwardness of public functions where two or more of the same relative may be present."

Ben nodded. "My graduation party had two different versions of my dad in attendance."

Ben's life was very, very weird.

"How do you juggle such a situation?" Obi-Wan said. "Where do you seat these people. Do you let them speak? Or will that be strange? What if they are from fundamentally different parts of their lives?"

Ahsoka recovered quickly, pens resuming a holding pattern as she looked for an opening.

"One where I can enlist help?" she tried.

The cup tilted almost thoughtfully.

"As hilarious as splattering Anakin in paint would be," Obi-Wan said, his fingers wriggling so the cup moved in, attempting to scoop up her pens, "I believe that would be asking for trouble."

The pens backflipped away from the cup, finally returning to Ahsoka's hand.

"It was too late to avoid that the moment you invited Anakin," she said, ever the respectful Padawan.
