The gym [Saturday afternoon]

[momslilassassin]

Ben had left a message for Leia last night to invite her to join him in the gym today (in Ben's world, bad thing were best dealt with by breaking machinery, hitting things, or eating ice cream) and was currently wasting time as he waited by trying out new self-defense moves on the dummies for his training sessions with Ender.

There was a lot of fake arms breaking in the gym right now.

[OOC: Expecting one, but open for all!]

"He was a lot younger in the holovids I've seen," Leia said with a shrug. "I know it's been almost twenty years since then, but considering how your grandfather looks now, I almost expected General Kenobi not to age, either."

"Yeah, but Obi-Wan was on Tatooine," Ben said. "That can't be good for the skin."

"I guess I was lucky to be raised by Bail Organa," Leia said somberly. "Growing up on Tatooine couldn't have been easy."

"Dad doesn't really talk about it much," Ben said, "but you were lucky to be raised by Bail Organa regardless."

"It doesn't seem fair that I had it so easy and Luke didn't," Leia said, kicking idly at one of the practice dummies. "But there's no point dwelling on that now, I suppose. And he lost his adopted family, too."

He'd told her about Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru.

"But he found you," Ben said with a tiny smile.

He knew they didn't exactly balance each other out, but he was trying.
