"Hello again," Anakin said, sweeping into the room. "A conversation with a friend yesterday--" sure, let's call the Mandalorian a friend, "--reminded me that we are all coming from a variety of locations and time periods and for all that we are given a person to help when we first arrive, we acclimate to changes very much on our own, using the set of ethics we arrived with. Holidays, seasonal activities, religion or lack thereof here on the island, or even here on the planet, can all feel strange and disquieting."

He leaned back against his desk. "What was the thing that struck you first as being immediately wrong here, compared to where you came from? Do you still feel that way?"

"I grew up in the desert," Anakin said. "If you had skin out, you'd fry like a hot dog."

"That makes sense," Nell agreed with a nod. "Back home in my old church you'un wouldn't have wanted to try and show any more skin if you'un wanted to keep it intact. It just wasn't done for people to go around all uncovered like that. Might promote lustful thoughts and such."

"Pretty sure if a wrist promotes lustful thoughts, it's not the wrist," Anakin said.

Nell couldn't stop the short burst of laughter at that comment. "Pretty sure, you're right, and most of the elders were just a bunch of dirty old men," she agreed.
