Flight and Flying, Friday

[suitably_heroic]

"So this planet learned to fly about a hundred years ago, maybe a hundred and change," Atton said.

He patted the plane next to him. It wobbled.

"This baby made it a whole 12 seconds on the first try," he said cheerfully. "The max they got out of it was 59. Let's see if you can do better."

"You're making us fly a rock!" Anakin said. "I'm doing what I can."

"It was a rock when they built it, and they flew it anyway," Atton shot back. "Pretty sure that makes them better than you."

"I've crashed capital ships that were flying like rocks," Anakin sniffed, "and walked away. I'm better."

"No, you just lucked out in the pazaak game of life and were born with magical superpowers," Atton said, rolling his eyes. "No one's impressed."

"Plenty of people were impressed," Anakin said with a smirk.

Atton slow-clapped. "Congratulations," he said, "People who don't know that Force sensitivity is like being handed cheat codes at birth thought you were a very good boy."

"The Council was also impressed," Anakin said. "Not destroying the heart of Coruscant was good."

"Aren't your Council all dead?" Atton asked. "Yeah, not too impressed by those people's judgment."
