Johnny hadn't come for one of the dumb bracelets. He also wasn't a huge fan of nerd shit like libraries but it had what he needed. His hood was up and he was ready to make a break for it, but then he sees Maul sitting there and there is moment where he just looks absolutely dumbfounded.

he takes a few steps forward and lowers his sun glasses to make sure his eyes aren't deceiving him, but then he realizes that he's been noticed and he decides to sit down. His copy of "Mending relationships with teenager for dummies" gets set down on the table between them.

"Seriously? I didn't figure you were the type to do all this getting to know you
shit."

[ obi-wan blinks. ]

And hello to you too. What's this all about?

[ obi-wan raises an eyebrow. ]

It must be quite the reward. And as you can see, I'm quite all right.

[ albeit, ten years older. ]

[ obi-wan huffs lightly. ]

I suppose I have garnered some overdue closure.

II. The Great Hunt

"No, I agree with you," Shen Yuan says quickly. "I wouldn't be here if I didn't." He'd seen the video of Deku's attempt at healing one of the creatures, and even if he'd agreed with the kid that kind of social fallout was way more trouble than it was worth. On the other hand, being known as a Bugge hunter would surely only do good things for his reputionation...Not to mention that his Omen had been chomping at the bit to go on a proper night hunt for weeks now, ever since he'd started seriously working on his cultivation.

But mostly, on a level of honesty so cringey that he could barely admit to it to himself let alone anyone else, he just really wanted to see Darth Maul in action. He was the best part of the prequels, okay?? Who cared that he was a lot more talkative in real life than he'd been in the movies, Shen Yuan just really wanted to see him fight something. He'd hold up his own part of the fight as well, of course! But he couldn't pass up the chance to see Darth Maul do his thing.

"How do you want to do this?" he asks, tucking his hands into his wide sleeves. "I'm a decent close-range fighter, but I can also use magic to throw debris at the creature to distract and blind it."

Luke had been waiting for the perfect opportunity to get back at Maul (not get revenge! Jedi don't do that!) for his comments earlier in the month. He had tried to be patient, tried to take his time and plan, but the urge to just fight became harder and harder to ignore, until he finally couldn't anymore. Even walking the whole way to Maul's place from where he was currently at did little to satiate that desire, only taking the edge off. It was to the point that by the time he could sense Maul hanging around the front gate to his home, also eager for a fight, every bit of him was tingling, anxious for what was about to come.

He took his own lightsaber in hand, but he kept his pace, if only out of hopes that it would frustrate Maul, taking his sweet time for the inevitable. And he meant business too, the fact that Vader's lightsaber was also on his belt, instead of tucked away in its usual hiding spot, spoke volumes to that. He didn't even ignite the saber he was carrying until he was just in sight of the gate, his arm feeling like it became an extension of the weapon, tingling with the same energy as the blade.

Luke was there for a fight, and Maul had better be ready for what was coming to him.

I confronted the Empire.

And the people who still fight.

[ his expression softens. ]

I always had hope. But I learned that I don't need to grasp it for myself.

In life, there's people you can look at and know you shouldn't engage. Appearances are one thing, and then there's the aura, how they hold themselves that can tell you, this is above your pay grade.

Or maybe, really, Robby is really judging a book by its cover. He's not going to blame himself for it -- look at that guy(???), sitting there at that table, where Robby notices them while coming to the end of an aisle. In his world, that's a person designed to look like trouble, and he isn't unresponsive to such influences. But it's also their sitting at that table in the Archives, without a book, which is exactly what makes him pause and think. He's done it himself - even had something written so people would bother him, when he was reading. A meaningless get to know you for a mutual desired reward. End of, and that's that.

Robby makes his decision after a few seconds, where he's figuring the worst that can be done is that he'll be told to buzz off. Stopping at the end of the table, asking first, "The bracelet?", and he'll accept the direction to sit.

And he's not not unnerved by what he's met with. Meeting that intensity, blinking himself; but Robby holds something neutral, not forced, yet an expression that can't mask that he's thinking, assessing this. Evaluating. Cautious.

Let's get this started. He's aware who has to do that, and so:

"Robby Keene," he offers first. "I got here this month. Don't come from a world where everyone's carrying weapons, magic's make-believe, and the only beasts you've got to worry about are the ones going through the trash. You're more likely to be killed by another person than a crab. I wanted to be a pro skater as a kid. Today, my dream's not dying getting stuck in some alternate hallway dimension. Or anywhere else."

He speaks plainly, even for the parts that may be humorous. Throwing out something, and now seeing what he gets back, reaction and all.

Thank you. Though I don't think aging well is high on my priorities.

Even if it does, why would it matter?
