[ Xion is similarly startled by Jale's arrival -- which she really shouldn't have been, so it says something for how wrapped up she was in just talking to Luke -- and also blinks at him.
But she doesn't react as strongly as Luke does. In fact, for just an instant, she looks the tiniest bit put out when Luke pulls their hands apart. But she doesn't seem put out that he's embarrassed by it so much as... well... now she doesn't get to hold his hand, dang it. It's for that thought she'll end up just as red in the face as Luke, for slightly different reasons.
Despite all this awkward, she'll smile and trot forward, reaching out to take one of Jale's hands. ]
Mmhmm! [ she looks back at Luke. ] Luke, this is Jale. [ and looking again at Jale-- ] Thank you for coming. You really didn't have to.
