[It wasn't that long between volunteering to take over Jacen's care (well, volunteering, like there'd been any other choice. What else could they do, send him to strangers?) and Wes realizing that he was now responsible for the safety of one of the three most kidnapped children in the galaxy. While it does seem there would be less motivation in a completely different universe, he's not about to take that risk.]

I... need some help keeping an eye on Jacen when I'm flying patrols. If anyone wants to pick up a bit of extra pocket money.

[That's how you find babysitters, right?}

Rather not be the guy who let the Chief of State's kid come to harm.

[It's this thing he has okay?]

Comments

[diplomaticsolutions]

Excellent.

[And a small pause.]

Both of them? That is- [But wait one moment.] Are they still around in your time, or did you know them from here?

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Still around. Usually Threepio sticks with the Solos. He's more useful in Leia's line of work. Luke's had Artoo so long that he has a counterpart level relationship with his X-Wing.

[diplomaticsolutions]

He is a brave little droid. He helped to save my ship when it was under fire- the only droid to make it back.

[She is quite fond of the astromech droid.]

I'm please to hear that they are. Anakin worked quite hard on Threepio.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[Nevermind Artoo. He must have just misunderstood what she said there.]

Wait, what?

[diplomaticsolutions]

What to which part?

[kettchmeifyoucan]

The... Anakin and Threepio part.

[That can't mean what it sounded like]

[diplomaticsolutions]

[She pauses.]

When I first met Anakin on Tatooine, he showed me the droid he was building from parts he had found. That was the droid.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

[One more time just to be clear]

Anakin. Skywalker. Built. C-3PO.

[His brain hurts now.]

[diplomaticsolutions]

Yes, he did. [Old news for her, after all.]

He was quite good with things like that. He built his own pod racer, as well.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Somehow that's not as... strange as Threepio.

[The droid has a bit of a reputation]

[diplomaticsolutions]

Why? What has he been up to?

[kettchmeifyoucan]

Uh... giving new meaning to the words prissy and neurotic, mostly.

[He also makes ill advised one night stands worse]

[diplomaticsolutions]

He is a protocol droid.

[Who did help Anakin's mother, while she lived...]

He can be a bit- over-zealous.

[kettchmeifyoucan]

That's one word for it. I had to babysit him the entire honeymoon.

[diplomaticsolutions]

... pardon?

[kettchmeifyoucan]

After Luke and Kaylee got married. Someone had to keep Threepio out of trouble.

[Occasionally switched off and in the closet]

[diplomaticsolutions]

Oh!

[A laugh, because he had been a witness to her own wedding...]

He can't have been that much trouble...

[kettchmeifyoucan]

I'm used to being in close quarters with fighter pilots. He's more or less the opposite.

[diplomaticsolutions]

No, that he's not, although he was not created to be either.
