6 Leia's Son
"Kyle!" Leia yelled as she ran up to Jedi Master Kyle Karatan and embracing him.
"It's good to see you to Leia," Kyle replied, grinning. She's still absolutely bewitching, he thought. "Been a while hasn't it?"
"Too long!" Leia answered, looking up as someone else descended the ramp to Kyle's ship, the Moldy Crow. His friend, Jan Ors, had once owned the ship, but he had been recently captured by the Yuuzhan Vong. Kyle refused to believe that Ors was dead, but deep down, Kyle knew that he was lying to himself. "And who's this?" Leia asked, referring to the man who had just reached the pair.
"Leia, this is my son, Dack. Dack, this is Princess Leia Organa Solo," Kyle said as he introduced them. Dack, who was approaching 30, smiled the best smile he could muster.
"It's nice to meet you," Leia said, noticing how much he looked like Kyle. She'd never known that Kyle had a son. Oh well, she thought, I guess I'll ask him about it later.
"You too, Ma'am," Dack replied, looking nervous as he gave a little bow. He reached out through the force to try to sense her feelings. He felt a great amount of grief, probably because of the death of her sons, he thought.
"Please, call me Leia," the former princess of Alderaan said, feeling him probing her. She immediately shut herself off to him.
"Ok, Leia," Dack said, realizing that he had been caught. He looked almost apologetic.
"You've cut your hair, Leia," Kyle exclaimed, trying to relieve the tension between his son and Leia.
"I had to on Duro. It was part of the decontamination," Leia replied, fingering her just-below-shoulder-length hair. She missed her long hair, but she felt the loss was so trivial compared to the death of her son Anakin and the disappearance of her older son Jacen.
Kyle, sensing her thoughts, said, "I was so sorry to hear about the deaths of your sons."
"Thank you, but only one of them is dead. The other one is just missing," Leia replied, slightly annoyed. How many times had she said that over the past through months? Every time, a little part of her died because she was beginning to believe, deep down, that maybe Jacen was dead.
"How's this base coming along?" Kyle asked, changing the subject, using his hand to indicate the base, called Shelter, which was located deep in the Maw. Its location helped its existence to remain unknown to the Vong, at least for the time being.
"Oh, it's coming ok, I guess. We're still collecting odds and ends to get it just the way we want it," Leia said. "I imagine by the time we finish it, the Vong will find it. They have a knack for doing things like that. Would you and Dack like a tour of the place?"
"Sure, that sounds great, Leia," Kyle replied. Dack wasn't too thrilled at the prospect, though.
"I think I'll just stay with the ship, and make sure every thing's shut down and working properly," Dack said, turning around and walking back up the ramp.
Leia shot Kyle a quizzical look, but Kyle just shrugged and looked away. They began walking out of the hanger and into a corridor. "Are you hungry?" Leia asked.
"Nah," Kyle said, "I ate before we landed. Where's your husband at right now?"
"Han's most likely playing with his ship. Why?" Leia asked giving him a funny look.
"No reason, just wondering. I've heard he's a very possessive man, just not looking for an early death."
Leia smiled, "He won't kill you, don't worry. He might punch you around a little bit, but don't worry."
Kyle laughed. Leia certainly hadn't loss her dry sense of humor. "I need to tell you something. Is there any place we can talk in private."
"Sure," Leia said, getting a bad feeling about what Kyle needed to tell her. "My office is just down the hall."
