Today the Danger Shop was set up a lot like the old campgrounds complete with a firepit with roaring fire, but inside, so it probably wasn't a real fire. Probably.
Probably.
There were marshmallows and sticks to distract people from contemplating the nature of the fire because that's how Anakin rolled. "Telling lies around a roaring fire is a common experience for most land-based species," Anakin began. "It's a good place to bond with others."
"These stories can take many forms," Ahsoka added. "They can be scary stories, or a load of bragging about things that totally happened to you, or they can be elders teaching the culture of their people to younglings."
"Or, in the spirit of friendship, it can be completely inaccurate recollections of embarrassing moments of your friends," Anakin said with a grin.
"Or combinations of the above, like following up someone's recounting of the time they fought a whole nest of gundarks by explaining how you had to rescue them from the gundark nest." Not that Ahsoka was thinking of anyone specific here.
"That doesn't sound like a thing that would happen," Anakin said.
"Or how they had to be rescued from pirates by Representative Binks." Again, not naming names.
"That also sounds made up."
"I guess we'll never know." It had totally happened.
"Well, I'm not telling that story," Anakin said. "Grab a spot by the fire, a marshmallow if you like them, and tell us a story."
