[So honestly there's a lot Luke doesn't know either, or rather didn't. He's been filled in on some of it now, but there's probably still a lot that he doesn't know. Some of it? He's pretty sure he doesn't even want to know. He knows enough now. Besides, the present is for relishing in the gentle, loving touches of a mother's hand. Sure, Aunt Beru had done similar things before, but it's different somehow. Sure, he loved his aunt and uncle dearly, but it wasn't this and he'd craved this his entire life.]
We are. [His voice filled with a tinge of wonder. Family. No matter what else this place might do to him in the future, at least it's given him this. And honestly? There's very little Luke wouldn't pay for a chance like this.]

[And if his voice quavers or even cracks on the words? That's no one's business but there's as he buries his face against her to hide the traitor trickle of tears he can feel. He believes her, he does. The fact that Leia loves him? He's known. The fact that his father loves him? In his own way? It's something he's slowly been realizing, despite their complicated history.]
I wouldn't even know where to start.

Are you hungry?
[After all, he can kind of smell food. So if she wants to eat...]
