[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]

[fleurdesel]

The plot is centered around the costumed super hero. The one from which all others sprang, more or less.

[thefinaljedi]

Do you think...it would be good to watch to cheer people up? I've never heard of the character. But from the back of the box. Flight, speed, strength? Sounds like an inspirational person.

[fleurdesel]

He is as inspirational as you have become in my world, Luke. And I think the first film would be a wonderful way to help everyone relax. It's fun, it's made well, and it's something of a classic.

[thefinaljedi]

Then, I'll rig Artoo up for it soon.

[He finishes off his tea]

Make sure you invite everyone who was involved. I will drag people if I have to. We need to have...some sort of relaxation.

[fleurdesel]

I may have some difficulty bringing Helios in- I do not know where he has gone. But I will bring Sabriel with me for this.

[thefinaljedi]

Helios, I suspect, will avoid people for some time. I will approach him myself, when I can. His presence is simple enough to trace in the Force. Sabriel I have spoken to already. I think with nudging she will be alright.

[fleurdesel]

I don't think it will help him to be alone- but I don't understand what it was that he endured in all of this. Perhaps it's best he has the quiet for some time.

Sabriel...needs time to mend. But she's resilient.

[thefinaljedi]

She is resilient. You two need to talk. I suspect you'll be good for her.

[fleurdesel]

Were I ever so fortunate in my youth to have a daughter...there are time I would like to think she would have grown into a young woman much like Sabriel.

[thefinaljedi]

Were I to have a daughter of my own, I would wish the same. She reminds me of Jaina, in a way.

[fleurdesel]

Jaina?

[Adele blinks and quirks a brow across the table at Luke. It wasn't a name with which she was familiar- but it was someone close; that much was certain.]

[thefinaljedi]

Han's daughter. Jaina Solo.

[He blinks]

Have I not mentioned my niece and nephews before?

[fleurdesel]

Not by name.

[Leia's children. How they hadn't discussed them before- well. They didn't' spend much time talking about home for one reason or another. Not truly.]

[thefinaljedi]

She's a sweet girl. Quiet, gentle, and strong in the Force. Her brother, Jacen, takes more after Han. Roguish, a real troublemaker.

[He smiles fondly, remembering them]

And then the baby, Anakin. He's quiet, really.

[fleurdesel]

Why am I not surprised?

[She goes still for half a moment. Somewhere else. Somewhere dark and bloody-

It lasted anywhere from one second to five, normally. But she's in no mood and this is a horror she's seen before. It stings. Cuts in a way she can't mend but it was. Not. Real.

Adele blinks, comes back to herself and Luke's smile and relaxes. She can claw her way back to the present with incentive. Family, as ever, was the best she had. ]

How old are they?
