[She laughs softly.]

Dreamers always do.

I don't think I quite realized how entangled you were with both of them.

[jedies]

Well . . . I played a big part in their lives.

[demonicbeauty]

Almost like an uncle.

[A pause.]

Are Jedi allowed to be uncles? I don't mean to offend.

[jedies]

We're allowed. We have bonds of family, they're simply not bonds of blood.

I had many uncles, myself.

[demonicbeauty]

Me too.

[She shrugs.]

But they were lucky. Luke and Leia. To have you.

Ezra and I have spoken about it at length. We've both agreed: You give the best hugs in the multiverse.

[jedies]

[ he chuckles. ]

I wasn't aware that was up for discussion.

[demonicbeauty]

It seems like an important thing to know.

[She shrugs.]

Anyway, I don't know why the multiverse keeps showing me your memories but...if you want me to keep it to myself, I will.

[jedies]

It's all right. While memories are personal by nature, I am not ashamed by them or myself. It does not bother me.

[demonicbeauty]

I had to offer.

[Ariadne would want the same, if their roles were reversed.

Even if she has nothing left to hide.]

[jedies]

And I appreciate it.

[demonicbeauty]

[She's about to end it there, but pauses.]

Obi-Wan? You seem...different somehow. Am I hearing things? Or has something changed?

[jedies]

Well, I am much older.

But I've also . . . come to terms with a great deal.

[demonicbeauty]

Older...

[Oh, wow.]

You went home.

[jedies]

For a little while, though it seems longer for me.

[demonicbeauty]

How long?

[jedies]

Ten years, I believe. I'm quite geriatric now.

[demonicbeauty]

[Gasp!]

Ten years?!

Oh, I'm so sorry, Obi-Wan!

[jedies]

[ he blinks. ]

Sorry for what?

[demonicbeauty]

That must be...horribly confusing.

Like living two different lives at the same time.

[jedies]

It was a bit disorienting, but I found my footing soon enough.

[demonicbeauty]

Of course. I wouldn't mean to imply otherwise.

[She's never experienced it for herself. But she imagines it would be...tricky.]

Well, for whatever it's worth, I'm glad you're here. Trench wouldn't be the same without you.

[jedies]

Thank you. I am glad to be back.

[demonicbeauty]

Visit the garden sometime soon, okay?

I'm sure the trees would love to hear your stories.

[jedies]

I'll be sure to stop by.
