Is anyone in town in need of maintenance or repair workers, especially for mechanical or computer-based systems? My droids are in need of jobs to keep them busy.

[Luke presses his lips together indignantly, as an indication that this has become a problem lately.]

One is an astromech, specializing in starship maintenance and navigation but he could probably do work on just about anything. The other might be tricky. He's a protocol droid and while he's capable of typical labor it's not his specialty. No one needs a translator by any chance, do they?

[Yeah, okay so it's a long shot but he thought he'd check. He's pretty desperate to get the droids especially Threepio out of the house without the guilt of begging someone to babysit them for him.]

Well, let me know. I'll have my comm on me all day.

[Luke grins.]

I'm going to hold you to that.

[He's far more excited about this than he's letting on. Luke will try his darnedest to make sure this happens.]

[colonialcopy]

Good. Because I mean it.

[Let's be honest, she can tell.]

Just...have to figure out how to break atmo without the defense grid going crazy on us, but, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

[last_ofthe_jedi]

Break atmo?

[Luke's eyes light up. He's been grounded for so long, first in Mayfield and now on Verdana, that he'd forgotten that was even a thing that could happen here.]

Right. Gotta work on the defense grid.

I'll, uh, I'll talk to somebody.

[This has now become Luke's number one priority.

... Okay, maybe his number two priority. You know, because of the whole having a baby thing. That has to come first for obvious reasons.]

[colonialcopy]

Yep, get into space?

[She smirks, knowing she got him.]

Of course. Definitely. If there's something I can do, let me know.

[She doesn't know what he'll do, but if he can do something...it's better than nada]
