"Oh, they went according to plan, just not my understanding of the plan," Luke replied, that sourness creeping into his voice again. "We needed to go to this place called Ktath’atn; the queen there only saw people once every year, to see if people could please her interest with something new and exciting -- Aphra put it she was 'very old and very bored'. Considering how scarce Jedi had become, she thought presenting me would get an audience with the queen."

He made a face; now that he was saying it out loud, he was seeing all the red flags that he should have back then. Hindsight and all that.

"It was the first time I had ever worn a suit, and even then, Aphra presented me as 'a farmboy from Tatooine' just because she knew it would get a rise out of people and lead to me demonstrating my abilities in order to protect us, even if it was by accident. It worked way too well; everyone was immediately dismissed except for the two of us."
