Third floor common room [morning]

After spending most of the night in a Jedi healing trance, Luke didn't look like he'd had a wall dropped on him the night before.

But he was very, very tired of his room. And he was hungry.

So over Artoo's protests, he was in the common room attempting to make breakfast.

Since he wasn't making cereal, it wasn't going very well.

Luke smiled, suddenly shy. "Not really."

"Yes, really." She peeked over at him, not sure what the shyness was about. "I don't know that I could do it."

Luke shrugged. "It's just me. It doesn't make me a better person or anything."

Except for the part where it probably did. "You'll be careful?"

Luke gave her a bright smile. "Always. He caught me with a net. I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm mentally deficient."

Imagining Luke with his head and shoulder in a butterfly net, Dawn couldn't help her sudden case of the giggles.

Luke laughed, too. "It was a really big net!"

"Was there a handle? Oooh, you could be a butterfly next time you need a costume for something!"

Luke sulked. "It's not funny."

Ignore the part where he was trying not to laugh.

"I have antennae somewhere, if you want to borrow them." Alien antennae, but still.

Luke snickered. "That would be quite a look."

"Wouldn't it?" She laughed. "You'd be memorable, I bet."

"I'd prefer to not be that kind of memorable."

She pouted. "What about a moth? Those are kind of macho."

"Only compared to a butterfly," Luke replied.

"Bat?"

"Is that a very dignified animal?" Luke asked.

"Um." She wasn't sure where 'rabies-carrying flying rodent' fell on the dignified-o-meter. "They're blind, so they fly using echolocation?"

"That's neat!" Luke said, grinning.

"Isn't it? Especially to those of us who bump into chairs in the dark a lot."

"That's mostly because Artoo moves the furniture around when he gets bored," Luke replied.

Dawn resumed giggling. "You're kinda blowing your Jedi mystique, you know."

"I got kidnapped using a net," Luke said. "I think my chance of mystique is totally shot."

"Okay, maybe this is a point, but there should be a way to get it back," she thought about that for a bit. "Although staying away from the gremlins might help with that."
