[ Well, there's nothing like the direct approach and Leia is sure one to always go with that. So? Luke just tries to brush it off with a bit of a smile. ]
Wrong? Who says there's anything wrong?
[ He knows she knows even as he goes to sit on her bed (a place where conversations seem to happen it seems) and sits there in silence for a long moment. ]
It's just... I've been thinking about something.

[oh she knows. She raises her eyebrows expectantly, waiting for Luke to start explaining whatever's bothering him. She doesn't want to push, but if something's truly causing him to worry this much, it's something she wants to know about and possibly help with if she can.]
You can always tell me.

I know.
[ He says that without an ounce of hesitation attached to it, looking to Leia and offering her a bit of a smile before he glances off across the room and decides to just, well, say it. ]
Are you disappointed that I... don't remember this place? [ That's when he looks to Leia again. ] That I'm not the same as I was before?

[She meets his smile at first, before it drops at his question, replaced with a more sympathetic, concerned look. It's a concern she can understand, in the sense that Luke had been here for a while before her before, and there's no doubt others here that knew Luke and didn't know he didn't remember his last time here.
If she were in his place, it's a worry she might have, too.]
Of course not.
[After all, no matter what, Luke is still Luke, and whether or not he recalls his earlier time here or anything from Bespin and Endor, he's still her brother and one of her best friends.]
Did someone say something like that to you?

Did someone say something like that to you?
[ No, no one has directly said anything to him, but he has eyes, is able to at times feel things and it doesn't take a genius to see a smile turn into a look of confusion or even a frown to realize that there might be some disappointment there. ]
It's more of a feeling than anything else.
[ A shrug, he looks back to Leia then, offering her a bit of a smile. ]
It's like they're excited to see me and then when they realize I don't remember them or this place, there's disappointment. Which... I guess I can't blame them.

Initial disappointment might be understandable, but whether or not you remember your past time here, you're still you. Anyone who cares about you should realize that, and be appreciative of the fact that they have another chance to spend time with you here.
[Luke not remembering some things does make things tricky even for Leia, because there's a lot that happened before that she isn't sure how or if she wants to bring up (hey there Kylo force choke), but she'd rather deal with hundreds of potentially awkward conversations than not have Luke around with her.]

I know... I know.
[ There's a sigh that falls from Luke's lips, the young Skywalker glancing off across the room again with fingers clutching at the sheets of the bed. Because he's tried to see if he could remember his time here before, if maybe he just wasn't trying hard enough and yet... nothing. It's not his fault, he... gets that, maybe. He's trying to get that.
Another sigh, he looks to Leia again. ]
Just seems there's a lot of people who knew me and I apparently have a farm according to Ben? [ He means Obi-Wan. ] Is there anything else I should know?

Ben told you about a farm?
[she wouldn’t bother if she could, because it’s Luke, but not even Leia can hide her confusion at that. Because rather than Obi-Wan, Leia assumes Ben means her Ben, not the Jedi flavored Ben. And she’s having a difficult time imagining how and why any conversations about farms may have come up between Luke and Kylo.]
And he told you his name?

And he told you his name?
[well Han's not a total idiot, at any rate. Still an idiot some of the time, but she loves him anyway.]
I'd be happy to introduce you at a much more reasonable hour of the day.

[That urgency would be hard to not notice, and there's a touch of concern in Leia's voice in response.]
I'm fine, Ezra. Did something happen?
I'm fine, Ezra. Did something happen?
[Ezra's relief is palpable through the connection.]
Not yet, but-
I had a vision. It's... something Jedi sometimes do. The Force can show us things that haven't happened yet, and I saw you. These animals stampeded and knocked a building down, and you got hurt.
[He's not making this up. There's genuine distress in his voice.]

[Well that's alarming. Not the force vision, but Ezra's response to it. She tries to exude some slight calm, to try and help Ezra's emotions even out and to reassure him she's fine.]
Do you know where this was supposed to happen?

[He can feel what she's trying to do, and maybe it helps a little bit. It at least gets him to pause and take a breath to try to settle himself.]
I couldn't tell from the vision. I could try to show you, if you want, but it's... fuzzy around the edges.
It's a building somewhere maybe near the edge of the city.

If showing me will help you feel better, go ahead.
[She doesn't know if she trusts whatever vision Ezra had, especially considering right now she's nowhere near the edge of the city, and there's no animals around her right now, either. But she's more concerned about how Ezra's reacting to the whole thing than whatever it is he may have seen.]

[That's not exactly a response to inspire confidence that you're taking him seriously, Leia. Some of Ezra's frustration buzzes through the link for a moment before he goes through with showing her the vision he had, fragmentary as it was.]
Do you recognize any of that?
[He's pretty sure he knows what the answer will be. The buildings are pretty obscured.]

[Leia doesn't answer immediately, because she's looking over the images Ezra sends, trying to find any sense of familiarity in them. She doesn't want to just say "no" in an attempt to reassure him, because she gets the feeling that immediately dismissing it will do the exact opposite.]
No, nothing there looked familiar. Are you sure it wasn't just some sort of dream?

What happened the last time you had a vision?
[She knows Luke has mentioned visions before. He mentioned seeing her and Han on Bespin, even if he didn't see the entire picture. But whether this is something similar to Luke's visions, or if Ezra has a different sort, Leia doesn't know.]

You remember Gall Trayvis? The Senator we used to think was on our side? I had a vision about him. I had a vision about him, about how he knew my parents. That was when he betrayed us, only I didn't see that part, just the part where we were getting chased.
But it came true, Leia. It wasn't just a dream.
But it came true, Leia. It wasn't just a dream.
[She remembers hearing of Gall Trayvis, yes. There's a lot she's sure she doesn't know, of course, but he's someone she'd seen around in the Senate back before everything happened.
But that's hardly the point here.]
You just said you didn't see the entire thing, though, Ezra. Are you sure this isn't something similar? Could there be something else we aren't aware of?
But that's hardly the point here.]

I was.
[It's not as if she can deny that much.]
But we don't know how far off the vision shows. I can't simply stay away from buildings until who knows when. It's a warning I'll keep in mind, though.
