She shut the door, which was good. However, she was still on this side of it, which was probably going to make her a pain right up his ass. Luke gritted his teeth together and worked his tongue around his mouth as he kept his back to her and reached up to stir the ladle in the pot.
Unsurprisingly, she came to demand his attention again. This time, though, he request had changed and he couldn't help shift his eyes to her, his expression a little suspicious. He let the ladle drop back into the pot, the end of the handle bent into a hook that caught the lip of the cauldron to stop it falling in. Luke moved to face her more fully, to actually take her in for the first time.
She was soaked, her clothes and hair clung to her. The light, thin fabric almost transparent in places, the pink of her skin seemed to bleed through from under it. More than that, though, he realised he could feel it in her; the Force.
"You should remove some of your layers, you'll dry faster," he said, reaching for some rough clay bowls so he could dish out stew for them both.
"Training takes years. The way you talk, it doesn't sound like you can spare that."
