Estelle and Shiloh watched the entire scene play out. Since neither was a Force-user, they watched in shock and wonder at the abilities the other demonstrated.
"Alright, now I feel incredibly left out," Estelle pouted.
Shiloh laughed, wrapped an arm around her waist, and kissed her wife's cheek, which caused her to blush. "It's alright, love," she murmured while nuzzling her nose into Estelle's soft skin. The love between them was palpable.
Winter and Elias smiled at the two.
“We could have never asked for better aunts to Frost. You two are amazing. There’s no way in this galaxy that Elias and I would still be around if we didn’t have you two saving our skins. Now the real question is, what and who are we going to find or tell about Hiro and Frost? Everyone has made the assumption that Frost got his abilities from us. But Hiro? We walk in with him and half the senate are gonna lose their minds. But we think it’s worth the shot. It’s all up to Hiro though.”
Elias shifted Frost on his lap.
“What do you say Hiro? Do you want to go to Coruscant and walk amongst the old Jedi temple ruins and the library, and maybe if we’re lucky, run into another Jedi?”
“ I would be honored to,” he said softly.
Hiro looked to frost and pulled the toy out of his pocket, resting it and handing into frost
Winter smiled and looked back at Estelle and Shiloh.
“Well that settles that ladies. We’re officially headed to Coruscant, and that means you two have to get Royal and Senatorial garb. I’ll contact the Pantorans. They’ll make you the garb. Unless you would like me to contact some other senatorial body? The twi-leks?”

Shiloh couldn't help but smile broadly. She glanced down at Estelle. "I guess it's time to tell them," she murmured.
Estelle's eyes lit up instantly. "Oh, yes! I almost forgot about that! You tell them!"
Shiloh laughed. "Alright, alright, I will." She turned her eyes to Winter, and they shone proudly as she spoke. "Kyla was just elected to be the senatorial representative for Ryloth."
(I forget her original name ripppp Winter do you remember the name of Shiloh's little sister?)
(Nope 😂 that works though!)
Winter beamed.
“Well I guess we know who I’m contacting! The Twi-Leks it is. It’s going to be so good to have another person in our corner. If I’m going to be honest, I have a strange feeling about Coruscant. It’s not bad, it just feels distant and full of something. Maybe hope? Maybe excitement. I don’t know. But hopefully it will all be alright. In the meantime, Elias and I have to prepare paperwork and speeches and all this other wonderful stuff. Being two of four members of a declining race is fantastic. Anyways, Elias dear?”
Elias looked at Winter happily.
“Yes love?”
“When we get to Coruscant, take Hiro to the old archives. Let him see if anything draws him there. You go have a father, son, and adopted Jedi son, day. I will go with Shiloh and Estelle to go greet the Pantorans, Leia, and the Twi-Leks. I’ll take on the crowds. I’m the more extroverted of us.”
Elias laughed.
“You can say that again hun. I am more than happy with taking the boys to go to the old archives.”
Hiro giggled softly at the adopted son part. " I would love to go"
Elias shifted Frost around in his arms.
“Any particular item, or items you want to try and find Hiro? Like a holocron, or an old saber, or some old Jedi texts?”
" something that tells me who I'm suppse to be.. my heritage or something"
Elias shrugged.
“Aren’t we all looking for something like that? But I’ll start you out in the lower levels of the library. That’s where I normally look for anything on the history of Hoth. Granted there’s very little, so I basically have to write everything that we know. And even that’s not enough to help save us. Maybe there’s more. Who knows? We can both look for something that tells us who we are.”
"alright!"
Winter smiled at the controlled chaos, and looked over at Estelle and Shiloh.
“What were you guys thinking for your senatorial outfits? More traditional twi-lek fashion, or your own designs?”

"Traditional," Shiloh answered at the same time Estelle said, "Definitely our own!"
Both women looked at each other with surprised expressions.
"Love, we talked about this," Shiloh murmured.
Estelle sighed in response. "I know, but just because Kyla is traditional doesn't mean we have to be too."
Shiloh pursed her lips. "You're the most difficult being I've ever met."
"And I could say the same about you!"

(Hiiii! I can't wait for Winter's reaction to see that I'm back lol)
(OH MY GOSH I HAVE MISSED YOU GUYS SO MUCH! It is so good to see you guys again! Catch me up on what had happened irl so far. I see Hiro’s og creator deleted their account. Did they get a new one orrrrr???)
group
(WINTER HIIIIIIIII Good to see you too! <3 @Kiibo_is_alergic_to_pollen is Hiro :))
(awe hello!)
(I accidentally locked myself out when I got a new phone😅)
(Understandable homie 😂)
Winter pursed her lips.
"Well, how about both? Traditional, but with your own twists on it. That's what Elias and I did. Granted we didn't know a whole lot of traditional elements, but we took what we knew and added our own things to make it what it is today. And all tradition is, is just peer pressure from dead relatives. What are they going to do? Come back to life?"
Winter heard a snort come from Elias who had moved to the cockpit to check how much longer they had until they reached Coruscant. He shouted back to her.
"Now that's funny. Anyways, we have about four hours give or take until we reach Coruscant. The Pantorans have acknowledged our coming and so have the Twi-Leks. The senatorial body from Ryloth have gotten the message, but haven't responded yet. Haven't gotten a response from Leia yet. But she is a very busy woman."
Hiro felt himself drift off without noticing. Clouds of different emotions all mixing together other his head. The color most prominent was a greyish blue. His eyes stayed half-lidded as he looked toward the doorway. He was daydreaming of something or someone. Only the universe would know
Elias walked out of the cockpit and looked at Hiro.
"Daydreaming bud?"
Hiro quickly snapped out of it “o- oh yeah, I guess “ he said softly and smiled
Elias chuckled.
"A little day dreaming never hurt anybody. Frost is around here somewhere. He's probably ripping apart some wiring around here. If the lights go out, assume it's Frost. One way or another he'll figure out how to turn them back on."
Hiro gave a soft laugh and scratched the back of his neck “ is it okay.. To be nervous or scared about meeting other people like me? I mean, I've met other people obviously but not others like me..”
Winter sighed.
"Hiro hun. Elias, Frost, and I are like you. We just don't use the term Jedi. We are far too violent to be Jedi. We solve our problems with blasters and grenades and ice swords."
Elias chuckled.
"You'll be fine Hiro. I promise. If we even meet other Jedi, like Luke Skywalker, or that Togruta woman who travels with a clone, I'm sure they'll be overjoyed to see someone like yourself. I know that Togruta woman and the clone were when Winter, Frost, and I showed up. Win, What were their names again?"
Winter scratched her head.
"Oh lemme think. They were friends of Bail Organa. Leia's father. I know the clone was Rex, and the Togruta had a code name. It may have been Fulcrum. Her name that I did hear Leia call her by was Ahsoka. She fought in the Clone Wars beside Vader before he became Vader. She does have connections to Mandalore, so if we ever needed Mandalorians for anything she could hook us up."
Winter jerked her head backwards when she heard a maniacal giggle and Frost tear by her holding a cubby door.
"Elias! Go grab your son! He's tearing apart the ship!"
Elias tore off in a brisk walk after him.
"He's your son too you know! He gets this from you!"
Hiro laughed at frost, his laughter something of a melody. “ it’s just.. it seems so weird now, not being the only person and not having to hide it no more.” he said and smiled “I feel like I'm really home this time. “
Elias came back holding Frost upside down by his ankle and the cubby door in his other hand.
"Yeah it's nice not having to hide. Except when you're trying to hide and this rowdy one decides its a great time to play a trick and something goes horribly wrong. Which is most of the time. I'm really surprised we aren't dead yet. But you know it's part of the job. And it's bold of you to say that you're home when all of this chaos happens constantly. But glad you're liking it."
Winter snorted at Elias holding Frost.
"Now hun, imagine if we had another kid. You would be losing your mind."
Elias gestured with the cubby door towards Hiro.
"What do you mean? We have Hiro. Granted he's not a deranged toddler, but he's close."
Winter rolled her eyes.
"Oh hush. I'm just waiting on Estelle and Shiloh to enter into parenthood. That's when the real fun begins."
Hiro kept laughing, holding his arms out for the small child
