[ ahsoka smiles warmly, though there's the slightest hint of a knowing smirk around the corners. it's been a while since she's had this reaction but she knows it well. ]
Togruta? I know. The same can't be said for humans, I'm afraid.
I guess I shouldn't have assumed, since we literally just encountered aliens in this sector, but— I still didn't think of it.
[ And if they exist here, then who's to say the Anomaly couldn't yank other non-humans through? It seems so obvious to him in hindsight, but he's still kicking himself for it. ]
Well. Hopefully we're not too annoying. [ He flashes her a smile, then paces a little further into the hangar, head now craned backwards to look more closely at the fighter ships docked in the Danäe. ]
This is more or less the same. In my experience, the main divergence in space flight is fuel and engine. Piloting, thankfully, seems to be the same everywhere.
[ He clambers in, settling into a position where Ahsoka's in the pilot's seat to begin with; best to have the expert at the controls first, showing Bellamy the ropes. ]
It does seem kind of insane that Perseus just... trusts people and lets us have these. Seems like someone could theoretically just hop in and start shooting up the hangar.
One of my friends was our go-to pilot back home so I'd started thinking she might be able to teach me, but— well, she vanished again a while back. The Anomaly.
I don't think you can. At least not really. He still has real control over the ship.
[ which still leaves her with mixed feelings. nothing against perseus, ahsoka has trusted droids with her life. but she's never been comfortable with not charting her own course. ]
[ a tilt of his head, his attention straying away from the console and back over to her. the terminology sounds grand, mythic, and that always piques bellamy's interest. ]
A knight. What does that mean — like serving a king, or somethin? He talked about his, uh— magical awareness of things around him. The Force.
[ and almost not entirely real, but he knows better than to doubt the surprising abilities that people have here — especially when he's speaking to someone who's so clearly an alien. he shakes it off, turns his attention back to the console in front of them, hovers his hands over the buttons. ]
Okay. How about you take this jet for a spin, show me the ropes?
[ and it turns out bellamy is an attentive listener and learner: he watches her movements carefully, seeing like he's jotting all of that down in his memory, too, trying to take note of what she's doing. it'll take him a while to learn, but at least this is a start. ]
[ and though ahsoka is not an amazing pilot the way anakin is, she has always been a good teacher. her voice is level, she is never overly critical and she never lingers on one's mistakes. ]

Are there humans back in your world too, then?
no subject
My world's more like a galaxy, but there are humans everywhere. You can't miss them.
no subject
How do these compare to the ones you're used to?

And I'm sorry to hear about your friend.
no subject
You know anyone on the ship? From before getting yanked here, I mean.
no subject
But my mentor is here. I'm . . . grateful to have a second chance with him.
no subject
Is that the guy you mentioned earlier? Anakin? [ a thoughtful pause ] Brown hair, kinda tall, pretty sure of himself?
no subject
That's him. He was my teacher in the Jedi Order before I left.
no subject
Seems like a capable guy.
no subject
[ her grin is wry. ]
He's a Jedi Knight. One of the best.
no subject
A knight. What does that mean — like serving a king, or somethin? He talked about his, uh— magical awareness of things around him. The Force.
no subject
Right. The Force is an energy field that connects all living things. It's all around us. The Jedi serve the Force, maintain balance and help all life.
no subject
[ he's supposed to be learning piloting from her, not mysticism, but he can't help but ask. ]
no subject
And so can you. Your instincts, your abilities. Whatever we call it, it still amounts to the same thing.
no subject
no subject
You may not have our kind of powers. But all living things have the Force within them. It just manifests differently.
no subject
[ he's half-joking, maybe, but yes of course this is where his brain instantly goes ]
no subject
You could develop powers but I don't know how super they'd make you.
no subject
[ it's dry, lightly humorous, but there's some truth skidding beneath those words too. how little he thinks of himself. ]
What sorts of things can you do with it?
[ a slight stress on the word 'you', there ]
no subject
All kinds of "things", I guess. Moving objects, extra speed and strength, communicating with animals. It varies from person to person.
wrap? :>

sounds good!
