“Isn’t that the same thing?” Ahsoka asked flatly, they were to her, military and science were interconnected but then again, that was what happened during war, science often turned the side of a war.
Then she found herself regretting her confession, “yeah I was…well I guess he would say I still am cheeky. Ahsoka shrugged, “I call him Skyguy, and he calls me Snips.” They were close, very close, but then again the bond between Master and Student was one of the closest you would ever form in your life for a Jedi. “He’s my Master, I mean we’re not like most but that’s kinda how we are. For a Jedi the closest bond you’ll ever form is with your Master, it’s their job to teach you the ways of the Force, to train you…though all be it normally there’s more eh how should I put it…formality between Master and Padwan. Anakin and I like to you know, do things out way, normally annoying the High Council in the process.”
“Um,” he blanked out for a moment until he realized she’d probably only ever had experience with military scientists. “No no no, I’m not a military scientist. Civilian scientist. It’s for civilian interests only-- ‘cuz it’s international. Like for the betterment of all mankind, y’know,” He waved a hand around aimlessly. “Like if this was Star Trek, I’d be Captain Kirk. Moya would be the Enterprise. Pilot’s Scotty. Aeryn would be S-- somebody. Nevermind. It’s stuff, and what I do’s pretty damn awesome.”
He knew she’d already said the Jedi weren’t priests, but they at least sounded a lot like a ninja order or monks or something. He nodded vaguely through most of the background information, just grinning at the nicknaming. Crichton moved to fist bump her softly. “And you’re a snippet, so it works.”
