While I sure do love having my precious moments spread around the ship like an episode of Dawson's Creek, I can't help but think most of you aren't making the best of this - admittedly awful - situation. Sure, it sucks, but it has its perks.

Which is to say: nyah, nyah, guess which one of us got to fly the Millennium Falcon?

[Jaina's lips twitch. Is she enjoying this? Maybe a bit.]

I've been helping you with repairs on her since I was nine. There isn't a nook or cranny of her that I don't know. [a purposeful pause] And yes, since I'm your kid.

Tell me I did that instead of making you waste time at school.

I didn't really go to school until I was old enough to attend the Praxeum and start training with Uncle Luke. Before that it was tutors. They never lasted long. I think you probably started letting me help you with repairs just to keep me out of trouble. Turns out I have a knack for it. Imagine that.

Good, Luke's teaching you. Is the first lesson, lets get Han in trouble? Second lesson, lets give Han a hard time. Third lesson, lets get in trouble so that Han can save me.

Well, he is the Jedi Grand Master. That's how these things work.

And those particular lessons were covered in this thing known as history, dad.

Grand Jedi Master, everyone's got delusions of grandeur all of a sudden.

Tell me I'm Grand Poobah of Smugglers.

[whoa, the shitty things they get up to are history.]

[theswordofthejedi]

You're kidding me, right? Delusions of grandeur? This is Uncle Luke we're talking about . Half the time people have to remind him that he's even in charge. [Okay, technically not quite true - by Jaina's time, he's perfectly comfortable in his role and with his title - but she's heard stories and, hey, she's making a point here. Hush.]

As for you, it's not so much smuggling as you just keep right on helping save the galaxy. [A pause.] Now that your darling children aren't needing rescuing every time you turn around... in fact, I'll just apologize now for my childhood.
