[ There's a glimmer of hope that comes to Luke's eyes when Leia mentions Master Jinn, the Jedi Master that was before their time and yet, with being here, he's become someone that the both of them have seemed to gravitate towards it seems; he's thankful for that.
He nods, knowing that he doesn't even need to say that he plans to talk to his father and that Leia will just know that he's bound to do such a thing. As much as he appreciates Leia not wanting to keep him from his father despite the concerns she more than likely has for his well-being when around the Jedi Knight, he can't not be involved in this with the both of them to some degree and while he's not so sure he can repair anything between his sister and his father, if he can somehow make life easier for the both of them... well.
Carefully, he picks the stuffed llama up from the bed and gives it a gentle squeeze before he holds it out to Leia with a half-hearted smile. ]
I came here to find out what this is and I still haven't figured it out yet, what with you having a lightsaber and all.

[Qui-Gon and Leia have had their rough patches. Many of them. But the both of them had gradually come to understand one another better, and Qui-Gon is now one of the people here she trusts most. Out of all the Jedi here, his views are ones she holds in high regard.
Taking the llama from Luke, Leia looks it over, smiling as she turns it around in her hands. It's a change of subject she's more than glad to have, not wanting to dwell on Anakin and anything at all tangentially related to him.]
You're lucky Han is out right now. I don't think he'd let you live it down if he found out you were sleeping with a stuffed animal.

You're not going to sell me out to him, are you?
[ Luke gives his sister a look that is clearly one telling her to please don't before he reaches for the llama and gives it another squeeze, but this time, a hard one that makes it exclaim don't be scared! which has Luke chuckle a little. ]
And I wasn't sleeping with it. [ Gosh, Leia. ] I found it at the foot of my bed this morning.

[All that look earns Luke is a mischievous smile from Leia in return. She probably won't actually tell Han, but the least she can do as payback for Luke laughing about the bear situation is let him sweat a bit about this.]
I know it's not from me.
[She wouldn't hesitate to admit it if it were from her, but at the same time, it reminds her--]
A few weeks ago, I found a laser pointer on the bedside table when I woke up, and I know for a fact neither Han nor I had one before then.

A laser pointer?
[ Sounds a little dangerouswith Han around to have. ]
So is someone going around delivering gifts to people?
[ Isn't that a thing he had seen mentioned that was... over with now? Either way, he drops the little llama to Leia's lap, a bit of a smile on his face as he does so. ]
Do you want him?

[To be fair it's mostly only dangerous when Han is around and awake at some stupid time in the morning. For now.
Leia picks the llama up once more after Luke drops it in her lap. It is cute, and it'd be a shame to let it go to waste, regardless of how it came into their possession.]
If you're sure you don't want him, I'd be glad to have it.

[Leia keeps the llama where it is, nodding in understanding of Luke's plans for the day. But before Luke can leave, Leia's gaze drops back to her lightsaber once more.]
If you want to look more closely at the saber, or even try using it, you're always welcome to, you know.
[Because while she doesn't want to give it away--it being more of a keepsake of her time here with Galen--Luke is one of a few people she trusts with it.]

[ There's... surprise? Yes, surprise that comes to Luke when Leia mentions that little tidbit regarding her lightsaber to him. Never mind that it's another reminder that his sister does, in fact, have a lightsaber of her own. But, it causes him to pause, to look back to the lightsaber in question before he looks to Leia once again. ]
Have you been trained with it?
Have you been trained with it?
[She shakes her head. She knows how to swing it in the most basic sense, and she's had her stance corrected by Kylo before and had a few lessons with Galen before he disappeared, but no significant training on actual lightsaber technique.]
Not in depth, no.
Not in depth, no.
[Okay, now that gets her to laugh a bit. She can't help it.]
So long as it's only lightsaber training, I don't mind it. Qui-Gon knows my thoughts on the rest already.

Just lightsaber then. You don't have to stick around for the rest... or maybe you could read a book or something.
[ Laughing a little, Luke pushes himself up and off the bed then, making sure to bump his shoulder against Leia's as he does so. ]
Unless... you want me to show you some stuff?

If you just want to show off, I'm happy to watch.
[And she's only half teasing with that. Because while she may not want to use the Force much at all herself, she's happy to see what Luke has learned to do with it.]
I'm not a Jedi, Luke. I have other ways to help the galaxy than through the Force.

[ Don't you call him out like that, Leia. ]
Hey, it's not about showing off.
[ There might be a slight pout to those lips before he shakes his head. ]
I just meant if you wanted to know how to use your lightsaber more defensively or offensively, I can maybe show you some stuff.

[It's so about showing off. But she doesn't mind if he wants to show off, because Jedi things are important to Luke, and she likes when Luke is happy.]
That would be nice. Defensively is what I'm more concerned with.

[ Is not, is not. ]
Defensively then. [ He nods. ] For any wandering bears you might come across.
[ He makes sure to step a little away from Leia for that with a smile before he laughs some under his breath and begins to try and tame his tousled hair. ]
I should get changed.

I think I'm more the expert on wandering bears here.
[She smiles again, shaking her head in some mix of amusement and exasperation at the mention of the bears. Leia's getting the feeling Luke isn't about to let her and Han live that down, even only hearing about it now.]
You should. I don't want to keep you from your plans for the day.

[ though their circumstances may not be the same, he appreciates her input all the same. it's why he reached out to her in the first place - at the very least, he feels a bit more confident in his decision. ]
I'll keep it in mind. For now, I think the gesture alone will keep us happy for a while.
[ neither of them are particularly public about their personal lives, even with close friends. the idea itself is fairly overwhelming as well - he needs to do some proper thinking when he has a quiet moment to himself. ]
I'm sure you made a beautiful bride.
[ they hadn't been terribly close when the ceremony happened - he understands as much. ]

[ There's a package that includes a nice bottle of wine, some freshly baked homemade cookies for Leia and Han to share, and a smaller one for Leia that contains this bracelet with a note wishing her a happy holiday, and signed to let her know who it's from. ]
Han thought so, but he's more than a bit biased.
[of course, more than just Han felt that way, but Leia's concerns with her appearance have always been minimal and more about whether her appearance was appropriate for the situation than anything. But even with that, she does think the both of them looked nice at their wedding.]
The gesture alone means more than enough on its own, I know that personally. Having an official ceremony, for us, was more because of the people present here in Verens than anything, but Han took the planning very seriously regardless.

[ Luke has a penchant for keeping some things to himself or, in a way, beating himself up over things that he's keeping to himself... both of which he's been doing for a little while now. Talking about it seems like a good idea but... it's not exactly something that he's been doing. But if there is someone that he should, Leia is more than likely his best bet, even if there's still some hesitation regarding it.
It's the very reason why he's sort of just lingering in the doorway of Leia's room, leaning against it on his shoulder with arms crossed. He doesn't really need to say anything to reveal that there's something on his mind... it shows with the thoughtful expression on his face. But he still decides to try and make some sort of light conversation to perhaps ease himself into talking to Leia about his... concerns. ]
Han's out for the day?

[He really doesn't need to say anything to tell Leia that something is bothering him. Everything about his body language and him hovering around the doorway of the room tells her there's something he wants to say but can't quite figure out how to spit it out yet. Even when he's been good at keeping some things to himself, he's never been good, in Leia's opinion, at hiding when things are bothering him.]
He's at the docks, I'm sure.
[He's got a ship, and if there's one thing Han Solo loves doing, it's messing around with his ship.]
What's wrong?
