"I didn't think you liked Tevraki," Luke commented as he let them into his apartment and headed for the tiny kitchenette to pull down two glasses. "I've never seen you order it."

"But I had the misfortune to work with a few of your Rogue buddies recently and was reminded that fighter jocks need things spelled out for them more often than not."
