"I'll help make it so."

"Thank you, Anakin."

Heee. "You're welcome!"

"It's been a long day. We should turn in soon."

"Okay." Hug!

Then to bed with Anakin.

And after, Elesse goes to find her mother.

She's pretty easy to find for a Jedi - though she's found herself a pretty obscure corner to lurk in.

"Hello," Elesse says. "Managing the transition all right?"

"More or less."

"Glad to hear it. Do you need anything?"

"I don't think so."

"How's Anakin doing?"

"Well, I think. She's very... energetic."

"A little whirlwind."

Smile. "A very apt description. I can tell she'll keep me busy."

"You seem like you'd be able to keep up."

"More or less. I will be giving her the opportunity to make other friends, if only to find some time for myself."

"I don't know if she'll need more encouragement, but... Perhaps help is a better phrasing - she's friendly, just... Abrasive at times."

Elesse nods. "I believe I understand."

"Have you thought about what you want to do from here?"

"Not in much detail."

"I know I want training, though."

"With the Jedi or separately?"

"I'm unsure."

"Any particular questions I can help with?"

"Is Jedi training even a real option at my age?"

"That depends how hard you're willing to work for it. Many of the traditionalists would like to reject you out of hand, but if you can prove your sensitivity then according to the Order's rules they can't not allow you to join. Once you're in, the training itself will also be challenging, both physically and mentally. You will have to pick up our academic traditions at a much later age than usual and you may find adjusting to the patterns difficult. Besides that, your classes will be with learners much younger than you, and likely teachers as well."

"I've handled worse."
