‘Oh, for Force’s sake’, the light muttered. ‘You heard that?’
“Yes?” Leia said. “Are there… are there two of you?”
As if she had only needed to ask, a second light appeared next to the first, flickering and weak at first, but growing stronger by every second.
‘Oh’, it said, and its voice was clearer now – familiar too, though it brought a strange feeling to her chest.
‘Oh?’ the first sprite said with, Leia realized in shock, a fair amount of sarcasm. ‘Oh? That’s all you have to say?’
‘Well, that pretty much sums it up’, the second light grumbled. It sounded old, and Leia was now half certain that it was male, too.
‘I can’t kriffing believe this’, the brighter one said. ‘Why, in the name of the Force, did I think following you was in any way a good idea? You’d think after all this time picking up the pieces of your family’s mess, I should know better by now!’
‘Oh, quit whining, Ke-‘
The first light suddenly moved towards the other one, which yelped under the shock. It looked like two fireflies headbutting, Leia thought.
‘Shut it! She can’t know.’
“What can’t I know?” Leia asked, lowering the blaster just a little.
‘If I say you can’t know’, Sprite 1 huffed, ‘you realize I’m not going to tell you.’
It was logical, Leia admitted. It was also unacceptable. She turned to Sprite 2, who was weakly twisting in the other’s immaterial embrace, trying to wrench itself free.
“What is this about? What are you? Who are you? Answer me, now!”
Sprite 2 turned its blob of light towards the other one, with a strangely universal body language despite its lack of a body.
Sprite 1 sighed deeply, a tendril of blueness coming to rub where its head would be if it had one.
‘Look, Leia’, it said with a sadness that reminded her of someone, ‘we mean you no harm. But we shouldn’t be here. And anything you hear can… put you in danger.’
Leia was going to explain to the apparition that danger didn’t exactly make a difference in her life right now, but the other thing was faster.
‘What the hell are you rambling about?’ Sprite 2 angrily said, whizzing away from its companion. ‘We are here for her. We came back for…’
‘It’s too far! Can’t you see?’ the bright one hissed. ‘Look at her! Look around! Do you know where we are?’
‘Good puzzle’, the other snorted. ‘Given the ice packing out of the wall and the heater snoring like a sick Bantha, I’d guess… Tatooine?’
‘Oh, I’ve had it with your attitude.’
Leia would have laughed if she wasn’t so wary. The pair reminded her of an old bickering couple; it was getting more and more certain that they weren’t here to harm her, despite the suddenness of their arrival and the strangeness of the entire thing.
Still, she didn’t like being ignored.
She coughed loudly, trying to remind the two flickering things of her presence.
‘It’s where she led us!’
‘No, it’s where the bloody dark side led us! We don’t know if it was her, or if something just took the opportunity to alter things even further! We cannot stay here!’
‘But…’
‘No but! Look at her! She’s still fighting the Empire here!’
“I am”, Leia said with increasing irritation. “But I can spare a shot for the two weird holiday lights bickering above my bed.”
И вообще про Лейю хороших мало!
