PSL: Naboo

[hisfathersimage]

Luke ignored Vader for the rest of the trip.

For a moment, he had almost forgotten who and what he was dealing with. A totally self centred, self absorbed creature of darkness, boiled in rage and suffering who wanted him to convert to his way of thinking and start up a second reign of terror and horror after killing Palpatine.

And in aid of doing that, they were going... to Naboo?

He wasn't really sure why they were on their way there. It was his mother's home world. It was Palpatine's home world. It was a paradise of water and greenery that had produced something so rotten and evil that the galaxy heaved to try and dislodge it from itself.

He stands in the cockpit's doorway, nursing his stump in his left hand and watching hyperspace, preparing for the shock of dropping back out again.

He can sense Luke there, of course but for now, he ignores him. The navicomputer is blank and silent. No astromech beeps or trills as he sets up the drop.

Indeed, his eyes aren't even open, reaching out in the Force, feeling everything.

Counting down inside his head.

Now.

The controls move seemingly of their own accord, buttons depress, switches flip and they are there.

Naboo's triple moons to their side, the green and blue planet before them. And suddenly Vader filled with an aching so over powering it feels like it'll crush what's left of his heart, a light on his chest panel flashing alarmingly, Bee Two starting to stir behind Luke, just in case.

Padmé's home.
What should have been Luke's home.

Someone took that from him. Still, for all the anger that inspires, he reaches back out for Luke. Wanting to expirence this with him.

New thread!

Luckily there are fruit trees, pears and plums, with ripe fruit, berry bushes, and even (in tribute to the Naberrie Clan) a grape vine trellis heavy with fruit.

And in the waters edge and small pools among the rocky shore were small crustaceans darting about and in the clearer areas of water, plenty of fish of various sizes.

Vader meanwhile stayed inside, his presence retreating into inside.

"I don't want to live on a shuttle. It's not healthy. Not for me. Probably not you, either, if only mentally." Living in the shuttle is not an option going forward, Luke is determined about that.
