"Good idea, I'll try that next time."

Permalink

If Asha is going to just let them walk out, he is happy to walk out. 

(This still feels too easy.) 

Permalink

"I'll fake the video cameras," Asha says, "but please attempt to make some sort of effort to escape, I've got to tell Dooku that you escaped on your own and I didn't tip you off."

Permalink

"Of course."

Permalink

"Of course." 

 

He's already gone to the trouble of looking like he belongs here; "escorting the prisoners" isn't that much more difficult than getting to them in the first place. 

Permalink

"See you."

Asha goes back to his office to work.

Permalink

One "They're with me," two "Boss's orders," four condescending stares, and a blaster shot later, they have Marlo's lightsaber and are on Elvee and Marlo's ship. 

Permalink

As soon as Marlo gets on the ship he receives an armload of droid.

"Marlo! You're alive!"

Permalink

"Yeah," he says, and doesn't let go of Elvee just yet. "Yeah, I am. — this is Elvee. Elvee, this is Dejah, and this is..." 

Permalink

"Seku Ani." 

He holds himself differently now that they're off the Star Destroyer; he still isn't smiling but he doesn't look half so sharp. 

Permalink

Neither of those people are Marlo.

"I thought you were dead-- you went on the ship and then I didn't hear from you and I thought I would just end up floating in space until we ran out of electricity and I died--"

Permalink

"Hey, I'm not dead, we're not dead, you're not going to die, we're okay —" 

Permalink

Elvee is being hugged. It is hard to be frightened if you are currently being hugged.

Permalink

Yes. Elvee is being very, very hugged. 

After a couple of minutes, though, Marlo says "I do need to be able to fly the ship." 

Permalink

Elvee stops hugging him.

"Hello," he says to Dejah and Seku. "I am LV-1958, a knowledge droid specializing in non-Jedi Force users."

Permalink

"Nice to meet you," he says, and glances at Marlo's back, and says, "I'm a non-Jedi Force user." 

Permalink

Elvee bounces.

"What kind? Can you tell me about it?"

Permalink

"I am... not actually familiar with what the kinds are." 

Permalink

"Oh! You're a wild Force user! --Do you mind if I ask you lots of questions?"

Permalink

"Ask me as many questions as you like." 

He's smiling, now.

Permalink

There are lots of specific hypotheses about which ways the Force is just because everyone expects the Force to be that way! Elvee wants to test all of them!

Permalink

Seku is largely self-taught out of snippets of things he overheard or found when his former master wasn't looking; if everyone knows a thing about the Force, there's a good chance he's heard it too. 

Permalink

"Everyone" is a term which here means "everyone with a Jedi education"; Seku is still doing some things interestingly differently. 

Permalink

He's not particularly surprised to hear it! 

Permalink

Eventually he says, "the Jedi will be able to sense that you're Force-sensitive, and they don't like non-Jedi Force users."
