It really wasn't. Nobody was taking us, we were right there, and our parents could spend as much time with us as they wanted. Some kids were barely ever at creche. And nobody was trying to make us something.

Oh. Alright, then.

Hug. And not everybody is as good at being a parent as your mom was. Mine - I couldn't hear or talk when I was little, too, and they didn't know what to do with that. It was good that I wasn't stuck with them when they got frustrated about it.

Oh dear. Yes.

Nod.

And then I figured out how to do it with the Force, and I'm not sure they ever found out. She chuckles.

Does it matter if they did or not?

I wouldn't mind, I guess. But I'd rather they not, they wanted it for the wrong reasons and they were pushy about it. It's - I don't mind it being something I do, to talk. It's convenient. But it's not something I am, and that wasn't okay with them.

Nod. It seems sad, not to have had that. But you're okay, so.

Yeah, I am. Hug.

I still miss my mother. Hug. Definitely hug,

Yeah. Such hug.

She would have liked you.

I'm glad.

I'm--glad that you're glad.

I can tell she was amazing. I can see it in you.

Thank you.

Hug~

Hug!

A few days later she reports that Karzel has messaged her back saying he'll be able to get away soon.

Good.

I'll have my hearing back by then. I could do it now, at least temporarily.

He doesn't know Sith battlesign but I could translate for him if need be.

Yeah - I won't be talking, that's going to be slow. But being able to hear will be worth doing anyway.

Nod. He's good about things like that. People being different.

Good.

Bringing the droid, you think?

I think I should talk to him before we introduce them but aside from that it should be fine.

She nods.
