Discovering Earth | Friday, period 2
"So," Kanan said, grinning faintly as he looked around at the class, "I guess this week, we're taking in an Earth city. I mean, not that we haven't been to Earth cities, but we haven't spent much time just appreciating the... cityness of them."
Or, 'cityness.' When you grew up on a planet that was a city, anything Earth had to offer was pretty much just getting chucked up onto the 'cute' pile. It was getting to be a pretty big pile, here.
"While we could go back to Tokyo," Hannibal said, "I thought we would stick with a city where you all speak the primary language. The largest English-speaking city in the world is New York, so we'll be going there."
And yes, he was aware it was likely small by galactic standards, Kanan, but it was a perfectly decent-sized city.
Cute decent-sized city.
"So, we'll be setting down in a place called... Central Park?" Kanan glanced at Hannibal for a moment to be sure he was getting that right. "Which is apparently pretty, you know, central. Plenty to see both in the park, and in the city streets outside of it."
And a big, public green area was something Coruscant didn't have, Kanan, so there.
Hannibal nodded. "Central Park stretches a long way through Manhattan, so you can travel through or along it." He passed out paper maps to anybody who wanted them. "I've marked the locations here of the main library, Times Square, a few notable restaurants," because Hannibal, "the major theaters, and the garment district."
What? That wasn't just Hannibal; it was a classic tourist destination.
He definitely hadn't marked the location of Trump Tower. Though he wasn't ruling out casing it himself for later.
And Kanan... wouldn't even know what that was. He was mostly just looking forward to wandering in a city again.
"We'll have one portal at the end of class, and another this evening, if you'd prefer," Hannibal said. "Enjoy your day."
Except you, Kanan. You had an appointment with shopping. Whether you knew it or not.
