[tramitem]

Who: Anyone and everyone in Trames - Please use this as a catach all for all your Summer Solstice Plot fun!
What: Exploring a whole knew world
When: Anytime between June 20 - July 4
Where: Around Krajina Božstiev
Rating/Warnings: Please add warnings to your top-levels/threads as needed


The streets of Krajina Božstiev are dusty and crowded. So many people on their way to live their lives. Markets, taverns, the Temple, the Palace. What do you look at first? What do you buy? Where to do you find yourself exploring?

Take a moment to appreciate the shine of the Temple. The beauty of the Palace gardens. The quiet serenity of the Library. The simplistic, but filling food in the taverns. Or the peaceful quaintness of the hills. A new world has opened up and somehow it all just seems simpler over here. People seem happy (mostly) in this existence.

Maybe...

Watch out for the occasional person going into a rage on the other side of the street or tavern. That can't mean anything...

"Why is a - lightsaber important?" If it was important, he would call it what Ben called it.

"This weapon is your life," is a thing I heard," he says, smiling faintly. "I don't quite get it but I understand the gist of the symbolism. I suppose that means I shouldn't want to claim it since it wasn't really my life, but- It was neat and felt good."

[consortofalderaan]

"It's neat and felt good?" Bail raised an eyebrow. And in a sort of teasing voice added, "Those are solid reasons to want to own a dangerous weapon."

[neverjedi]

He quirks a faint smile. "I don't actually want to use it. In fact I don't think I could. It just feels like a thing that's noticeably missing now. Which should probably worry me more than it does."

[consortofalderaan]

"Emotions seem to come with the memories, don't they?" Bail observed.

[neverjedi]

"They do. Being unusually fond of Anakin and wanting to protect him and fear that I will fail him is something that bothers me less than missing a weapon. One of them fits my personality as it is now better than the other."

[consortofalderaan]

Bail cast a concerning glance at Ben.

"Is that what he's doing- telling you or giving you the impression he thinks you'll fail him?"

[neverjedi]

"No. It's part of the carryover from memories. Nothing to do with him. He doesn't even remember why I'd think that, at least he didn't last time we talked."

It's complicated.

[consortofalderaan]

"Can you explain it to me?" Bail asked, gently. He'd already seen how Ben could devalue his own abilities. It was curious that this seem to also be a feature of Ben's memories.

[neverjedi]

Where to begin, with the memories that he did have.

"When I first met Anakin, I was a student of the man who was killed. He told me shortly before that I was not ready to... graduate, for want of a better word. That man wanted to take Anakin as his student, because Anakin was... exceptionally gifted. At that point I was suddenly very ready. Then, as he was dying, he asked me to promise to teach Anakin. There should have been a transition between being a student and being a teacher. Instead, there was a formality and then it simply was."

In short, it was a lot.

And that is leaving out phropesies and Qui-Gon not wanting him to begin with.
