( Tython, for all its lore and power and speculation wrapped up within its coordinates, isn't a place that he's spent a lengthy amount of time. He knows about the seeing stone there, about what that had meant for Luke Skywalker over a decade ago, what it had brought him, and about the ice caps and temples, the artifacts and archaeological possibilities that could potentially be unearthed. But he hasn't personally stepped on that planet in recent years, preferring to try his luck elsewhere, to follow up on other potential paths, chase down different rumors, different whispers. Different people. Jedi killer. The irony isn't lost even on him. )

( His tone is flippant, but he doubts that she'll need to rely on the Force to search for the truth behind his brevity. ) Like many of his field trips, we found nothing. Just more questions and open endings.
