Sometimes, frustration can be a source of knowledge and a wellspring of strength. It's helped me pull out my inner troubles, and turn them into something useful.

Kyle knows the style well, but its the only form I've put no time into learning.

[fleurdesel]

I do not remember much of it- Levarre's notes were lacking on what she felt I would not be able to learn. Other than knowing it was employed by Master Windu and that it is performed while channeling one's aggression in battle, I don't know the details.

[But if Luke felt it would help him to learn this? She sees nothing wrong in it.]

[thefinaljedi]

Levarre was correct, it was Master Windu's style. And that is also the truth. Its good, to have an outlet here.

[He takes another drink]

Where are you staying?

[fleurdesel]

Tonight?

[She drums her nails on the table.]

With Gambit.

[thefinaljedi]

Moving around?

[fleurdesel]

I don't want to impose more than i have to. When I do manage to sleep it isn't....restful. Or peaceful.

[thefinaljedi]

You'll sleep well. I'll take care of that. Don't worry.

[fleurdesel]

I don't. I just want to be able to understand what happened.

[thefinaljedi]

Its simple enough I suppose. The strangest situations have tiny, innocuous beginnings. But it was probably the Malnosso at work.

[fleurdesel]

Normally I do not care to lay the blame entirely upon a single party- but almost everything that goes awry here is their doing.

[thefinaljedi]

Its a fair assumption. I can hardly see Helios causing this much trouble on his own.

[fleurdesel]

If they didn't bring us here- if they didn't experiment. If...merde. There is so much that would be different if not for them.

[thefinaljedi]

If they didn't bring us here, we'd never have met. In that, I feel, they have done us a service.

[fleurdesel]

One of the few things I shall never regret or blame them for in this place.

[She manages a small, tired smile over the curve of her mug.]

[thefinaljedi]

We'll get through this, Adele.

[All of it]

Now, how about some good news. Instead of all this gloom, I managed to procure something from the Malnosso.

[fleurdesel]

[They had to. The alternative was to falter and fail- and none of them can afford it. Not now. Adele dips her head in agreement before taking a slow sip of her tea.]

Information?

[thefinaljedi]

No. A few films.

[He offers a rather wry smile]

I think we could all use a few movie nights.

[fleurdesel]

...not in your home.

[It comes out before she can stop herself.]

I just. I can't be there right now. I don't think anyone can...but I do agree. Another Movie marathon would be just the thing to help us all feel. Normal. Again. Or as close to it as we can manage here.

[thefinaljedi]

[Luke nods]

Adele, you don't even need to say it. I'm not staying there for at least three nights. The Dark Side is strong there.

I was actually going to suggest we just watch 1 or 2 films, on the beach, with Artoo acting as a projector. He won't mind.

[fleurdesel]

[It's beyond the lingering stain of Apep's actions- it's where this darkness in the back of her mind was caused. Just being close to the front door made her ill that first day afterward.]

I didn't know he could do that. [She huffs a soft laugh.] What films have you brought back?

[thefinaljedi]

Some that you suggested, three Indiana Jones movies.

And one that was suggested to me by Tony Stark. It's called Superman?

[fleurdesel]

An excellent choice. Even if it might be strange for you to see that actor in a different role.

[At the second, though, she almost chokes on her tea.]

Superman?

[thefinaljedi]

Is that bad? Tony said it was a good film.

[fleurdesel]

No, It's not a bad film. It's an excellent film. I'm just surprised by...[A Marvel character recommending a movie made with a DC character. That was odd.] Stark's recommendation.

[thefinaljedi]

Why? Does it have something to do with costumed super-heroes, like Stark and Billy Kaplan?

[Luke, you are a dork]
