Chapter Three
"Spinning to the wrong direction, you were."
"Master Yoda!?"
"This you have already said. Recompose you should"
Luke stood up hurriedly and tried to fix his disheveled clothes and hair.
"Sorry..."
The Jedi Master shook his head.
"Too long time I lived. Still, understand humanoids I can't. Why do you
embrace this one" – and with his cane he pointed at Threepio, who
was still trying to get up – "when it is the other the object of your
affection?"
Luke's face was scarlet red. He opened his mouth but couldn't think of anything
to say.
"He is a young and healthy human, Master. You should give him credit for
being able to control himself for so long." another voice echoed in the
spacious living room as another ghostly form stepped out from the holopic bluish
light. It was the image of a tall man, with long hair and beard and a mischievous
glint in his eyes. He playfully bowed to Luke. "My apologies for invading,
but when I sensed someone – a fellow Jedi! - had bought my book I simply
had to take a peek and boy, I personally doubt you two need any instructions."
"You're Master Qui-Gon Jinn? You're the one who... wait a minute! What
do you mean by we don't need instructions?" Luke was suddenly alarmed.
His face color changed from red to white. "Don't tell me you were here
before..."
Qui-Gon Jinn smiled broadly. "I've been watching you since you bought my
book at Aleen's shop."
"Bastard."
"Hey, I was just trying to help."
"Taking the kid to that store?"
"Come on, old buddy, Luke's not an innocent virgin. You, of all people
should know that."
Lando couldn't help smiling at the view he had before his eyes: Han Solo impecably
dressed, standing straight and still like a soldier. He hadn't so much as twitched
at the comment about Luke even though his eyes were on fire with barely checked
anger. So this is what Hiding Time does: transform wild male Corellians into
civilized men. Wouldn't be so bad if poor Luke weren't suffering from lack of
a lover's attention...
"I was expecting you to punch me at this point." he said, calmly reaching
for the kaf on his desk.
"What?"
"Punch. This is what you usually do when you're mad at someone, isn't it?
When you are not in Hiding Time, that is." Lando took a sip of his kaf.
"I don't know why you're angry. Nothing bad happened."
"You made him give me aphrodisiacs during Hiding Time!"
"So what?"
Han grabbed Lando by the collar and snared.
"I could've gone wild! I could've hurt him!"
"But you didn't." And considering what Luke was doing this afternoon
you didn't come even closer to wild... Lando raised his arms wide open in exhasperation.
"Han, think! It's me, your old buddy. I've been around. I know many Corellians
who regularly use aphrodisiacs to avoid Hiding Time with absolutely no problem."
"Yeah? Name one!"
"Wedge."
"Wedge?"
"Yep. Hiding Time comes early in his family. He had his first at fifteen,
can you imagine that? He uses aphrodisiacs since then and is perfectly healthy."
Han released Lando and fell on a chair, eyes wide in surprise. Yeah, Wedge was
healthy. He had seen his medical records in the last inspection – clean
and perfect as a baby. And that meant all the stories his grandpa used to tell
about men going mad and killing their lovers... Damn old crook!
Grandpa Lochie, the day I meet you in the After Life I'm gonna make you pay
for this!
"Han? Han, where are you going?"
"Home. I'm gonna take the rest of the day off."
The Corellian was smiling when he left Lando's office. He called Chewbacca in
the comlink.
"Chewie? Remember that Wookie love potion you offered me yesterday?"
"/Yes. You should try it, Han. It was made by the best herbalist of Kashyyk
and it has good effects on humans, too./"
"Yeah, I know. Can you bring it to me?"
