3rd prompt - your icon, because I will never get over the fact that was cut
I finally finished this one^^ and it’s so good if I may say so myself
“Lando, can we talk?”
Lando was shaken up from the battle plan he had been mulling over in his head for the umpteenth time while scrolling his datapad. In the bustling of the hangar he hadn’t heard Luke approach him at all. The Jedi had put a camouflage cloak over his black jumpsuit, which actually didn’t look half bad in and of itself, but the cut looked a bit awkward somehow. Maybe it was a tad too long or something— no, this was not the time to start fixing people’s fashion choices.
(Though if it had been up to Lando he would’ve redesigned every single Rebel Alliance uniform, starting with the horrid bright orange fatigues the pilots sported. Honestly, who in their right mind had thought they looked professional in any way?)
Luke crossed his arms and bit his lip, not meeting Lando’s gaze. Lando didn’t have to be a Jedi to sense that something was bothering Luke.
“Sure,” Lando answered. “What’s wrong?”
Luke glanced around as if to make sure no one was listening to them. Not that anyone could’ve heard them in the hangar anyway with all the noise coming from mechanics fixing the fighters and checking on the astromech droids. Whatever secret he had would stay between the two of them unless someone deliberately decided to attempt eavesdropping.
“So, you know I’m going with Han, Leia, and Chewie to take down the deflector shield of the new Death Star so you can lead the attack to it?” Luke said.
Of course Lando knew that. He had only spent like every waking hour since the meeting with Senator Mon Mothma mulling the plan of attack in his head and going through the notes on his datapad. Still, he could tell that Luke had something else on his mind.
“Yeah?”
“I… there’s something I’ll probably have to do, but I can’t tell Han, Leia, and Chewie about it,” Luke said awkwardly. “But I think you need to know.”
Well, that sure didn’t sound ominous at all . What in the galaxy could be something Luke couldn’t tell his closest friend but was okay telling Lando?
