[indent][indent]It was her smile that shook his resolve the most. 

How content she was in the lie that made him weak. To shatter it with him leaving would devastate her, just as hearing her proclaim how completely happy she was had devastated him. Even in the middle of such a serene place, Ben could see the distortion. Jedi were the heroes, his uncle the savior ... but his grandfather the villain. How could she be happy with such utter nonsense. Darth Vader had fought to bring peace to the galaxy. It was the Rebellion; his mother, his father, his uncle, the Jedi, that caused turmoil to spread ... that had created the madness and chaos that ransacked tranquility now. 

His grandfather had once echoed in the Force that love was worthless. That it was nothing but a weakness. Ben disagreed; it was his love for Odette that verified his truth. For he could look beyond the tremendous force that was his love for her, and still know his destiny lied ahead--with Luke and his order far behind him.

The trek to the lake had yellow flowers greeting them within the weeping green and the actual lake, bordered by that very same green, was the very picture of nature's hard work. As usual he found himself lagging behind Odette, content to bathe in her overarching light and dim shadow. His smirk was a very faint approval of his woman's form within the lake. She was stunning. Luke's training had honed her body to perfection and the Force sustained it indefinitely. 

A sadness crept onto his smile. [color=crimson][i]You [b]must[/b] come with me, Odette. Luke, the Jedi, they are a scourge on the galaxy. They won't fix it, only I can. Heir to Va-[/i][/color] He paused his impromptu rehearsal. Mentioning Darth Vader would almost guarantee she'd stay. He bit his lip while thinking far too hard.

Then she splashed him. 

His stern confusion turned into a soft rebuttal, with a crooked smile dashed in between. [color=crimson][b]"Am I? I didn't notice,"[/b][/color] he answered before gesturing with the Force to splash a barrel-full onto her. [color=crimson][b]"You seem a bit more wet than me ... Y'know how, Luke is, why do you always get us in trouble with the Old Man."[/b][/color] He said this while attempting to wipe away the damp spots on his robes. A bit of agitation slithered into his tone; more so at the thought of Luke than Odette. [color=crimson][b]"Now I'll have to hear his mouth during our solo session today. Thanks, Odd."[/b][/color][/indent][/indent]
