I've already seen the pictures, the articles on the internet. Sometimes I don't understand the fascination people have with us, with our lives. 's weird.

[ he sighs, but Luke playing with his hair in such a way and his comment has him unwinding slightly, and he can't help but laugh at the next comment. It's hard to feel as bad like this; there's still more healing to do but for now... for now, this is good.

He makes an over exaggerated suggestive smirk. ]

Not all of it... ? I wonder which part you liked the most. Maybe I should try to find out.

[faithfulson]

I guess that's what being a hero is like.

[ He can't help but smile, remembering the idiot farmboy that wanted nothing more than to fly the stars, seeking adventure and becoming a hero. It seemed like such a ridiculous thought now, and this place only exacerbated it, but at least he had someone to laugh about it with. ]

[ Speaking of, Bodhi's expression alone was enough to get him chuckling. He let out a soft hum as he snuggled closer to him. ]

Mm... do you really think you can get secrets from a Jedi that easily?

[onlydoubts]

Yeah. I guess it is. [ A thoughtful silence as he mulls it over. Weird to him -- maybe it had been weird for Luke too, in a different kind of way. Bodhi had died, not knowing that his actions meant anything, if they'd attributed to the mission at all. Many of the Rebels in the council didn't sound too convinced of a defector's word.

There aren't many -- if any others at all, that find out that they're regarded as heroes after their own death. And now people who don't know his history want pictures of him, and seek out details of his personal life.

Hm.

At that he closes his eyes, smiling against him. ]

Oh? I bet I can think of a way to get you talking.

[ ... he's not going to say just what that is. ]

[faithfulson]

[ Luke bit his lip, an almost shy look coming to his face, before he took a deep breath and just rolled up, settling so he was leaning over Bodhi. He paused a moment, feeling a little ridiculous, but there was a sort of lopsided grin creeping up on his face anyway. ]

Do you think you can?

Remember, there is no 'try' when dealing with a Jedi.

[onlydoubts]

[ Bodhi leans back into the cushions as Luke looms over him.

He keeps his expression calm, neutral except for the fact that there's a definite flush on his face, and his pulse is picking up in a big way. He swallows a little thickly, the words sticking in his throat. ]

Maybe I want you figure it out, Jedi.

[ He reaches up, gently booping Luke right on the nose. ]

[faithfulson]

[ Luke's nose scrunched up, and... try as he might, he couldn't keep a straight face. Giggles bubbled out of him a moment later, and he ended up flopping onto Bodhi, burying his face against his chest in an effort to smother his laughter. ]
