then we roll with it!

[heirofvader]

[ Ben stays back towards the entrance of the temple. Uncle Luke was doing as he would, training the younglings, or whoever he felt needed more attention. It usually left the two Skywalker-Solo's to their own devices. Both had inherited traits of their father as well as the strong connection to the Force that their mother had. It makes for... interesting things.

He rolls his lightsaber in his hand. ]

Having a hard time seeing things, Jane?

[forceshadowed]

Leave me alone.

[ It's not her usual quip, and it's not her usual tone of voice. It's also not usual for her to be alone, because she's either joined at the hip with Jaina or telling some dumb joke to their circle of friends. But there she is.

She sniffs. Stars, she's such a baby. ]

[heirofvader]

So, you are.

[ He remains where he is and quiets his hand. Jaina must have been off with their little possie as well. The Solo Kids, always causing an issue for Uncle Luke.

Even if Ben felt like was always overshadowed by the twins.

Ben takes a few steps forward after a moment and comes to stand beside her. Ben can be a baby too ]

Did they call your lightsaber ugly?

[forceshadowed]

[ Ben, overshadowed? Jane has the middle child syndrome, and she thinks all her siblings are better than her in some way — Ben with the Force, Jaina with piloting and at attracting all the boys' attention, Anakin with machines. She's just the weird kid who talks to animals.

She frowns at him, trying to look indignant but not really succeeding. ] It's not ugly. It's— it's just a lightsaber.

[ The very one that's just sliced someone's arm off, yeah. ]

[heirofvader]

Then what is worth crying over it?

[ He holds his hand out to see her lightsaber. It is probably crafted perfectly. No flaws, no issues with the crystal cracking. Unlike him--who can't seem to contain anything in the proper way. ]

Unless they called you ugly.

[forceshadowed]

[ She makes a face at him for the question, but hands over her lightsaber with only a little reluctance. Oh, it wasn't her weapon that had an issue, but she feels like it's her fault, anyway. ]

Haven't you heard? I hurt my friend with that. I cut off her arm with that.

[ She sounds angry, but that anger is only at herself. ]

[heirofvader]

[ Ah... well. It's certainly worth crying over. He rolls it over in his hand before looking back to her. ]

A lightsaber is a weapon, Jaisyn. It's meant to kill. If you're not prepared for that fact... then maybe it's a good thing you don't want to touch it.

[forceshadowed]

[ She... doesn't respond to that right away because she's just realized that she's not actually prepared for that. ]

I know it's a weapon. I just—

[ Yeah, he'll feel her deflate right then and there. ]

Must a weapon only be for killing?
