Ben watched out the window as the ship dropped out of hyperspace. He took a shaky breath. It was time. He wouldn't burden his brother anymore. He walked back to his cabin. He didn't know how what he would do after he left. It didn't matter. This was the right thing.

"I did take it once. He started crying and took it back off the top shelf."

Ani reached his newly free hand for a piece of meiloorun.

"It's not like you were any better, Bail."

"Not like you were any better, Ben," he shot back, just as quickly. Leia sighed.

"You were both as bad as each other, and Ani's like the pair of you."

[jedi_librettist]

"At least Ani hasn't gotten a power drill yet."

Ben sighed, finally relaxing now that the thranta was safe. "And he sleeps better than we did."

"All things to be grateful for," Leia told him.

Ben nodded, eyes drifting shut again. He leaned against the wall, trying to stay awake.

[middleoftheforce]

Leia smiled.

"You get a rest, Ben. Bail and I can watch Ani."

[jedi_librettist]

Ben nodded gratefully. "Thanks. Umm... Where...?"

[middleoftheforce]

"My bed's through that door," she nodded at the door behind them. "It'll do until I get your quarters sorted."

Ben smiled slightly as he slipped through the door. What he saw on the other side took his breath away. It looked just like his parents' room when he was a child. He sank onto the bed.

Ani frowned, watching him leave. "Why Dada seep again?"
