The Salle [afternoon]

[momslilassassin]

Nothing short of being actually set on fire was going to stop Ben from being in the salle today.

Leto was going to show him how to use those knives! If Ben were the type to squeal, he'd be squealing. Since he wasn't, he'd shown up ten minutes before the time they were supposed to meet.

You know, just in case.

[OOC: Ben's here for Leto, but feel free to catch him before/after/watch them...]

He nodded. "Which does not make grief easier to bear."

[bedtime soon!]

"It's supposed to," Ben said. "Part of the Jedi Code says 'there is no death, there is the Force.' She's not gone, she's just...not here any more."

[future_sandworm]

"And she will always be with you, in a way." He would have memories of his own of his mother, after all.

[momslilassassin]

"Sometimes literally," Ben said with a tiny smile, "if she's like other Jedi Masters."

[future_sandworm]

"Oh?" Leto looked curious.

[momslilassassin]

"My father was visited by his old teacher for years after Master Obi-Wan's death," Ben said.

[future_sandworm]

"Visited?" That needed some clarification, after all.

[momslilassassin]

"We call them Force ghosts," Ben replied.

[future_sandworm]

"Like the spirits of the dead? Leto asked. "Can you see then or just sense them?"

[momslilassassin]

"See them," Ben said, nodding.

[future_sandworm]

"Like in a vision?"

[momslilassassin]

He shook his head. "Like they're standing right next to you."

[future_sandworm]

"That must be comforting to you to know," he replied, sensing the curiosity of the ancestors in his mind.

[momslilassassin]

"They don't come when you want them to, most of the time," Ben replied. "But yeah, it's nice to think I might see her again."
