[ At a much more sane hour, Lando gets treated to a series of screenshots of a certain conversation, followed by: ]

:)

[bespin]

Glad to know Han's got someone who can give as well as they get.

How are you doing, kid?

[faithfulson]

I'll take going against the Jedi Code for one day of sleep.

I'm all right. Sorry I haven't contacted you before this. Everything slammed at me as soon as I stepped off the porter.

[bespin]

Yeah, that sleeping sickness threw us all for a loop.

[ Gave Lando a few ideas for business opportunities, but that's not really relevant. He's not going to bore Luke with that stuff. ]

From what I hear, the porter has taken a liking to people from our corner of the galaxy. Skywalkers in particular.

[ AKA yes, he heard Anakin's your dad, and he wants deets. ]

[faithfulson]

Yeah, especially when a certain someone still tries to work while falling asleep behind the wheel.

[ Speaking of; Luke paused to let out a groan before answering. ]

How much did Han tell you?

[bespin]

Of course he did.

He told me Anakin's your dad, and to ask you if I wanted to know more.

[faithfulson]

[ Well, it's pretty obvious just by looking at them that they're related. And Luke knew he had to tell people eventually, especially when the inevitable happened and Anakin started acting more like Vader, but he just wasn't ready for it. He still had nightmares of that moment in the Cloud City vent shaft; this wasn't how he wanted to deal with it. ]

Yes he's my father. You became aquainted with him at Cloud City.

[bespin]

Promise you, kid, you were the only Jedi who ever came to Cloud City.

[faithfulson]

I was the only Jedi.
Not the only Force user.

[bespin]

[ It takes a long time for the response to come in. not as long as it took me oocly to reply tho But finally, Lando texts back. ]

No way in hell. Your father is Darth Vader?

[faithfulson]

Yeah.

[ Sorry his father kinda took away Lando's city? ]

He told me then. Seeing Anakin Skywalker here, the way he is now, more than proved he was telling the truth.

[bespin]

[ Lando doesn't know what to say. So of course, he diffuses the tension with some light humor. ]

Sorry to say it kid, but I guess I'm glad to know someone out there in the galaxy has got a worse old man than mine.

[faithfulson]

[ Luke snorted at that. ]

The Most Terrible Father award wasn't exactly something I wanted to win.

[bespin]

Look on the bright side! You won't be the one everyone avoids when it comes time for family reunions.

[faithfulson]

Thanks, Lando; I needed that laugh.

[bespin]

Any time, kid.
