"Kinlan! Come inside. It's time for dinner."

"All right," Kinlan Kwaad - not quite 7 standard years old, with sandy blond hair a mixture of both his parents' shades, and blue eyes that were purely Skywalker - sighed, setting the villip he'd been working on back in its holding bin outside the family damutek.

He raced inside, slapping the door-pad to open the irising hatch. Kinlan's aptitude for Yuuzhan Vong biotech both impressed and annoyed his family to no end, especially his twin sister Nenri. The brown-haired girl was already sitting at the table with their little brother, Vuahlin.

At 4, "Lin" was probably the most Force-prodigious of any of the Kwaad children, even if he was prone to seeing things his siblings didn't quite catch. The little boy's grey eyes were hailed among the family's Yuuzhan Vong neighbors as "gods-seeing," even if the Y'uno were no longer hailed in quite the same way as they'd been before Sekot had welcomed her children home.

Vuahlin shook brown bangs out of his eyes, smiling when his mother ruffled his hair and asked, "See anything new today, honey?"

Vuahlin scrunched up his face in concentration, then nodded vigorously while his father started serving slices of basted vu'asa. "Marchin' men, Momma. Lots of 'em. Black clothes," he said, meeting his mother's look of curiosity.

"Cloakers?" Kinlan asked, looking up from where he was cutting a dinner roll in half and starting to spread bantha butter on it. The Kwaads kept a small herd on their property, and banthas were popular relocated animals on Sekot; the Yuuzhan Vong respected the great beasts for their resilience and generally friendly dispositions.

Vuahlin shook his head, while Nenri rolled her green eyes at Kinlan. While the Kwaads certainly didn't disapprove of their children's varying degrees of embrasure of Yuuzhan Vong culture - they had chosen to settle on Zonama Sekot, after all - there were times when Kinlan seemed more Vong than human.

Which, given his mother's somewhat-unique background, wasn't entirely unexpected.

"Nuh-uh. Cov'alls, or jumpsuits," Vuahlin said. He frowned a little, adding, "An' guns, an' helmets."

"Stormtroopers, 'Lin?" his father asked, passing plates around while sharing a look with his bride that was a mixture of amazement and concern - amazement at Vuahlin's memory, and concern that a child so young was having Force-visions.

Except that he's not like Jacen. Vuahlin plays with other kids, laughs ... the Force is second nature to him, but it's not his life, Anakin Solo reminded himself as he watched his youngest son shake his head.

"Not all armor, Daddy. Like your 'suit," Vuahlin said, nodding at Anakin's simple brown coverall. Anakin nodded, understanding, and shared a glance with Tahiri.

He doesn't seem scared by it. Maybe it's just a random vision, Anakin suggested through his Force-bond with his wife.

Tahiri didn't shake her head - she just smiled her smile, but radiated warmth and doubt at the same time. Like the 'random vision' he had of that entire crop of po'rahls fruit going bad because of out-of-control blaze bugs? 'Ri pointed out, and Anakin admitted she had a point.

"Were they coming here, 'Lin?" Nenri asked her brother, but Vuahlin shook his head - he didn't speak, since he was trying to devour an entire slice of vu'asa rib, and was too polite to speak with his mouth full.

"Tahrn, Jokral, and I'd kick their luurs if they did," Kinlan said, grinning. He winced a little when Tahiri rai
