Video
[Someone's breaking in this here video thing, because it's backward tech far behind what she's used to but she can understand it. Leia's hair is just in a braid on one side, and it's clear that she didn't intend to be doing this. Anyone who's seen her house, or who lives on her street can probably tell that she's sitting on her front stoop, and she's holding an open box with a bright blue ribbon. Inside the box there's a silver tube, and she lifted it up slowly.]
Is this supposed to be a joke?
[Her voice is deadpan and calm, even as she removes the saber and flicks the switch on, activating the blue blade.]
My brother is the jedi, not me. Does this mean that you have him somewhere? Or Ben Kenobi? Or someone else?
[She can't help that her hope is up a little about Luke, even if the saber is a different color than the one that he made after he lost his hand (and saber) to Vader.
Still the lightsaber in her hand feels right, like an extension of herself and if she closed her eyes she could still feel it with senses that she had locked away long ago. Now it was like someone (or something) had ripped the bandages off of them and she didn't like it one bit.]

no subject
[Leia knew how bad an uneasy peace was when you didn't expect it. How everything that you learned through wars made peacetimes harder especially when a new generation was born of children who didn't really understand what it was like to live and love and lose under the yoke of her father and the Emperor. She didn't wish that on the two of them. Leia didn't wish this odd combination of war and peace on anyone. One should either live in one or the other without needing to straddle the middle ground.]
Live well here, Jyn. The two of you deserve it.
