*Leia sat arguing politics with a few others at the cafe. These included Reg Shoe, who could be rather annoying but seemed to be one of the more genuine rebels. The general consensus was that, with Richard III gaining power by the day, revolution was inevitable. Not everyone thought this was a good thing.*

*Luke burst through the door in that way he had of forgetting he was probably old enough to act like a sensible man and not burst through doors.*
"Leia!" *he cried.*

*Leia smiled and took his hand*
"Finally, someone here with some sense!"
*She kissed him on the cheek*

*Luke flushed slightly, then boldly kissed Leia on the lips.
He'd thought of nothing but her since that night he barely remembered in the bar.*
"Leia. How are you?"

"Well, I personally am alright. The country..."
*She shook her head*

*Luke held onto her hand as if she'd disappear again if he didn't.*
"What do you mean?" *he asked.* "What's wrong?"

"Same old story- another tyrant seizing power. The galaxy seems to have an unlimited supply of those."

*Enjolras chose that moment to appear, late.*
"Desole, amis, I was dropping my daughter off."
*As always, he looked effortlessly, freakishly commanding and attractive. He fell into his chair with a powerful grace and listened, trying to catch up with the conversation.*

*Leia nodded to Enjolras*
"Some new people today. This is Luke Skywaylker- he's very well trained in philosophy and combat."
*She squeezed Luke's hand*
"Though maybe it's presumptuous of me to assume you're joining the revolution..."

*He nodded acknowledgingly at Luke, easily guessing what was going on between the two of them, and vaguely hoping the boy wouldn't distract her from their cause.*
"Vincent d'Enjolras."

*Leia turned her attention back to the problem at hand*
"So, to recap: Richard III is clearly insane, and the choices seem to be living under his rule or some sort of suicidal last stand."

"Anything is better than hiding like cowards. Talk does nothing; we have to act." *He emphasized his point with a fist pounded on the table.*

"I agree, but just what are you proposing? Getting mown down won't change anything- we need to plan this out."

*Luke had no idea who Richard III was, but he didn't like the sound of things. And if Leia thought he was a threat, well, Luke would follow. He hated tyranny and oppression!
But he loved watching Leia in action. She was so forceful and strong and beautiful. He thought, sometimes, that they were two sides of the same coin; she the passion, he the action. Not that each wasn't capable of the other.*
"What do we have?" *he spoked up suddenly.* "On our side, I mean?"

"Teenagers and penniless former members of the aristocracy."
*She sighed. Luke's enthusiasm was catching, but she had to keep herself realistic.*
"And they have soldiers."
