Mention of a pilot training program piques Luke's interest and he makes a mental note to ask Wedge about that later. That will probably be his key to finding work he might actually enjoy... or at least not loathe entirely.
The point about building up strength through work as a mechanic is a good one, though. Luke wouldn't entirely be opposed to it, so long as he's not doing it day in and day out. There certainly are benefits and Luke has been rather anxious to feel more like his old self. Being without the Force and feeling so weak on top of that has left him rather vulnerable and it's an incredibly uncomfortable (and scary) state of being.
As Luke walks with Wedge he really can't say that the architecture here is all that unfamiliar. It's vaguely reminiscent of certain underground dwellings on planets with metropolitan regions from their Matrix.
Wedge's place makes Luke instantly feel at home though he can't immediately say why. The schematics and drawings bring a smile to Luke's face, and he wanders around trying to study each of them, but then seeing another that's even more fascinating than the last. He doesn't even notice the supposed mess.
He's quiet for a while, too caught up in the schematics spread everywhere to have much to say.
As much as he loves these drawings, they make him sad. "This reminds me of nights when you have a dream that you don't want to wake up from... and then when you do you try to write it out or draw it so you don't forget it, but you can never really do it justice. Our Matrix was just one, long dream."
He's dangerously close to spiraling downward into despair again and for a while he just stands in the middle of the room, trying to keep himself together for Wedge's sake. It's been over a week since he had his last meltdown and he'd really hate to have to start that count all over again.
