Library!

So, he was supposed to be a war hero. Sure, he could make that work. Talk like a propaganda vid, hastily memorize some local placenames and conflicts, and be all stoic and approving of the local royal they were trying to push into power.

So, that meant he had a bit of studying to do. And it wouldn't be a bad idea to learn about the planet, actually. Get a look at some more maps, find out what you could eat and what would kick your ass just for considering it...

...And more about how in the hell this magic stuff worked. That subject in particular kept pulling him off-course on whatever he was doing. But how could it not? This was the Force, a mystical power that'd been used as justification for putting Jedi in charge of his whole life, and now he was learning the basics from Fox. Of course he wanted to learn more, and from as many sources as possible. He was not gonna make the mistake of believing one side's propaganda again.

Only one problem--the local books weren't written anything like the study programs he'd been fed through back on Kamino. All sorts of flowery language, full of technical terms and references to stuff he didn't recognize. Just figuring out what these books were talking about was a challenge. This was his second attempt now, and he'd come prepared with a notebook and stylus he'd picked up at the market. It wasn't the easiest to write with, but he was slowly figuring it out, filling up pages with handwritten aurebesh notes.

He'd been so wrapped up in it that he hadn't noticed someone approaching. "Huh? Oh, yeah. Sure." They were playing on the same side of this political stuff right now, so it was safe enough to cooperate in public. Although honestly, he wasn't reading anything relevant to that whole charade.

At least he was pretty sure he wasn't. Come to think of it, he could use a break, this book was making his eyes cross. "You studying up on this place too?"
