I stood in a corner of the living chamber with Jaden. "Jaden, I need to talk to you." I said after practically pulling her over here "It's about you and Jaing...."
"Listen, you and him haven't been on good terms for about four years now, and I think it's time you tried to...cope with him. I don't mean you have to get all lovey with him but try to cope with him. Just don't get into fights, not around Tian anyway. I don't know whether you want to try to recover your brother/sister relationship with him or not and you don't have to, but I know how you feel. You know very well how even though that crazy Sith kept me from going back for years, it was originally more my choice to go to Earth, even though I wanted to come back for visits and eventually I just wanted to come back for good....I know how you felt when you had to leave the Order.....but I mostly got my relationship back with Shalin back after that...you can with Jaing. I know you can. I tortured Kala terribly, years ago...but she forgave me eventually. There will always be tension between the two of you, I know that just due to how my relationship with Shalin or Kala were never completely healed...but you can at least try, just like I did." I said to her, stopping myself before I went on some huge rant
I just wanted my granddaughter to not have to witness this, none of it..

"You're sucking up, farmboy," she said, leaning against Luke's chest. "We're not home yet." Turning around to face him, Selena frowned. "What's wrong?"

"I'm trying, Buir." Jaden shook her head. "He can't trust me anymore. The trouble is, we both blame ourselves. But we keep getting farther apart, every time we talk. Jaing sneers at everything I say, and he just won't listen. Have you ever seen his face when I start talking about the incident? He's scary, Calvin, when he wants to be. It's all Luke's fault. He told me to go there."

"Nothing..." Luke said. "It's between me and Jaing."
He sighed heavily. "I don't trust him," he said in a low voice.
OOC: Just trying to make it sound a little like Mace Windu in RotS.

"I trust him," she said softly. "And he trusts you, Luke... Give him a chance. So far, he's the only one Ben will open up to. Even Rylee likes him. If you start having a feud with him, you'll have two hot-tempered Jedi to think about. And then a hot-tempered wife."
She smiled at him. "Give Jaing a chance. He's a good boy."

Luke made a small noise in his throat. "I have been giving him a chance, Selena." He paused for a few seconds. "I think Leia's ready for dinner, now."

"I know how you feel, that is how I felt when the Council, I should say Sith, told me to stay on Earth. I understand, and these things take time. Mabye your relationship will stay how it is, get better, or get more distant. But Jaden, he may not trust you, but do you trust him? You say he is scary, that makes me wonder if you don't trust him either." I said to her
I sighed. I wish Shalin could be here....she'd be better at giving advice than me...

I was glad we were finally here, and it was great to see Han and Leia again. However, before I really had a chance to do more than smile and wave at them, for some reason Electra grabbed my arm and pulled me off to one side.
What is it this time? I found myself thinking. I glared at her, opening my mouth to tell her this had better be important--but then I noticed her face. It looked as though she'd been... crying.
"Electra," I said gently, unable to keep the surprise out of my voice, "what's wrong?"
She turned away for a moment, wiping at her eyes. I'd noticed that she'd been somewhat distant during the journey here--in fact, she'd even recieved some sort of brief, hyperspace message from someone, but she hadn't talked about it at all. She just kept to herself.
"Mary Fairlight passed away two weeks ago," Electra said, as though reading my mind. "That's what the message said. They say she died in her new home on Alderaan--a painless, peaceful death. She would have wanted it that way--Mom would have wanted it that way for her."
Mary Fairlight... I scrunched my eyes for a moment, racking my brain, trying to remember who exactly that was. Then I gasped softly when I realized--Mary Fairlight had been the woman that Mom worked for, before she, Dad, and the others went to the Jedi Enclave on Earth for the first time, and discovered their heiritage. Mary Fairlight owned a small gift shop, at which Lenora had worked hard...
And when Mom had gone through a period of serious soul-searching, she had returned to Earth, to her hometown... and visited Mary at that giftshop. And Mom had discovered, for the very first time, that Mary... loved her, in her own way, and had valued her help deeply.
Mary had managed to escape Earth when it was attacked, and she had made her new home on Correllia... and she truly loved it there, even though she missed her home on Earth, and her gift shop...
"I'm sorry," I said slowly. I didn't know Mary at all--I never really talked to her, but I knew that Electra had talked to her from time to time.
"I know," Electra sniffled. "It's just... I don't know, maybe this sounds silly, but... it's like the last connection to Mom that I had, in a way, you know? She knew Mom really well, and she always had a good or funny story to tell..." Electra turned away. "I just... need some time."
I nodded slowly. "It's okay, Electra," I said. "If you need to talk... you know you can come to me, or even Dad."

'Jaing will recognize his error in time. Help him out, or he'll take his own damn time.'
"You okay, dad?" Jaden asked. "You blanked out for a moment."

I turned my head as a bell chimed softly. Glancing around the room, I saw everyone stir, and start to head for the door. 'It must betime to dine...' I tought, escorting Mara into the dining hall and once there, seating her, as etiquette and protocol demanded.
