Sometimes that's fun too.

Permalink

Heh.

She loves Luc' so much.

Permalink

The feeling's entirely mutual.


"Shall we see if there's anyone else around?"

Permalink

"Let's."

Permalink

Then off they go!

Permalink

The next people they encounter don't look familiar. Two human adults, apparently the same age, chatting in one of the side rooms, and three very small children playing under their watchful eye. The woman's on the ground, focusing more on playing some game with her toddler daughter; her infant's in sight, too, apparently enjoying floor time, and her toddler son appears to be currently sulking.

Permalink

The man looks over at Luc' and Wyld when they enter, smiling slightly.

"Hey," he says, straightening from where he'd been slouching. "I don't think we've met yet?"

Permalink

"We're new. I'm Luc', this is Wyld."

Permalink

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Luke. This's my sister, Leia, and my nephews Jacen and Anakin and niece Jaina. We're Ani's family."

" - Ani's one of Wyld's alts, we're all... Fairly new, also, so I don't know if you've met her - "

Permalink

"Pleasure's all ours. Eliana'd just said Ani was older, didn't mention a family..." She's pretty surprised, actually, but recovers quickly. "But we also just found out about all this a few days ago, and only got here a few hours ago..."

Permalink

Leia smiles over at the two newcomers, politely. "Then welcome. It's all - quite a bit to adjust to, isn't it?"

Permalink

She laughs. "It's been something all right."

Permalink

"A couple somethings."

Permalink

"Possibly someone should make some kind of welcome packet... It's going to take me a while to get used to who everyone is."

Permalink

"Well, I like telling stories, and don't mind chattering about myself and my girlfriend a few more times..."

Permalink

"I'd be happy to hear about it - here, have a seat, there's space..."

(Jacen is sneaking glances over at the newcomers with clear interest, though he still seems to be in a sulk.)

Permalink

She grins at the completely inexplicable grandchild (...though the kids are cute...) and snuggles with Luc' on one of the couches, launching into a fairly quick, mostly problem-focused summary of their story and world. (She remembers Eliana commenting on Occlus and Ani's world having potential resources...).

Permalink

She frowns a bit, clearly thinking. "Honestly, collaborating between worlds is something that interests me a lot..."

Permalink

"We could really use literally any help at all."

"It'd - be easy, probably, to just leave, now that we're not bound anymore, and that's what it sounds like a lot of my alts have done, but..."

Permalink

"They're your people, and they're in need."

Permalink

"Yeah. I started on this path. I'm gonna see it through."

Permalink

She nods.

"I don't have the pull right now to promise a galaxy's worth of resources... But I've got a lot of contacts in programs meant to help planets in need, and if I'm reading your technology level right - it sounds like even a small commitment of food and agricultural supplies would make a huge difference."

Permalink

She blinks.

" - I'd been thinking militarily, but - nine out of ten of my people are scraping by as only technically free farmers, and there's been a lot of disruptions to supply chains - if you can change that... Yeah, that'd be a really huge deal."

" - To be clear if your goal is to avoid enabling war, given food surpluses I will one hundred percent be hiring more soldiers."

Permalink

She smiles a bit. "I've fought my own share of wars. They're horrible things... But I understand they're sometimes necessary, and would rather a society of plenty that hires its soldiers than one of want that enslaves its farmers. But - I'll try to get you more general aid, too."

Permalink

She bounces, grinning.
