[ Luke looked embarrassed at losing his control again, following the breathing motions that Usagi was doing. Look, as long as she didn't tell Obi-Wan or anyone else that he lost it like that, he wouldn't feel too bad about it. ]

No, I haven't told her.

[ He let out a breath. ]

It's... been harder for me to find ways to talk to her, since I've gotten to know my mother.

[ Luke leaned back from the omni, waving his hands as he turned a shade of red. ]

I-I would never! It's why this situation with D is so...

[ He gestured vaguely with his hand, as if that was enough to convey how boggled he was by all this. ]

I've never been in a situation where... I just feel so helpless with a person. And I still care about Airy, but this is... so different.

[ Luke let out a distressed noise. ]

...you're throwing a lot of things at me I never really thought about.

It's... complicated.

[ Luke's shoulders dropped. ]

I... care about Airy, a lot. But at the same time... I know her personality is entirely different, but I look at her and I see my mother. It's... awkward, and it isn't fair to me or her if I try to force a relationship when there's that hovering over it. At the same time... breaking up with her for the same reason my father used to stalk her is going to hurt her just as much.

[ He let out a sigh. ]

And D... it's still so new. I just know that this was the first time I've actually fallen asleep and slept the whole time. It's... nice, to be that comfortable around someone.

[ He gave her a look at her aborted sentence, as if asking if she was really surprised by that information. His father was a lot of things, but "reasonable" and "capable of understanding boundaries" were not among those things. ]

You're right, and I will, I mean that.

[ He let out a soft breath, flashing a warm smile. ]

Thanks, Usagi. I'm glad I have you to talk to.
