A response to their last scene together in tlj


Tiny character moment I realized
When Luke and Leia were talking
He says "I'm sorry" and she says "I know you are"
She doesn't say "I forgive you"
(She'd told him once, in one of their rare arguments - she'd hissed it out, her teeth tight and her voice low - I don't have to forgive him, I don't have to forgive /anyone/-
And Luke had smiled, and let it be, and said that he'd never ask for hers then.
It had been a joke, at the time)
