Ben was incredibly grateful that his father wasn't really expecting him to, well, talk at all while he was home. He was sure that Luke was assuming the melancholy was due to the loss of Mara from the family birthday party, and that was certainly true, but the events of last week--especially the deaths of Tahiri and Ender--had squashed Ben absolutely flat. Showing his father his new lightsaber hadn't lightening the mood any, and neither had his birthday gift of a red landspeeder (it seemed like Ben had guessed correctly and his dad had been feeling guilty, after all).

So the days had been spent curled up on the couch, watching random sporting events (and with a galaxy of sports to choose from, random was really, really random), ordering in, and repressing not talking.

Ben had missed being home.
