solo_sword | Office hours- Friday

Jaina had gotten back to Fandom this morning, and she blamed her parents for that. Next week was spring break, so she'd been planning to make Tino take her Caritas shift and just stay at home to work. The problem was that she had made the mistake of saying this out loud. In front of people. Sure, in her galaxy, she didn't take breaks between missions and was hardly even on her homeplanet, but that wasn't the situation in Fandom. Still, she'd apparently conditioned people so that when she said any word that sounded like or meant something similar to "vacation," they insisted she take it. So after deciding it wasn't an argument she felt like having, Jaina agreed. Fine, she'd go to Hawaii. Huge chore, really.

She was slightly on the annoyed side this morning, though, trying her best not to think about the fight with Jacen and instead figuring she'd get class finished up today so she didn't have to do it after getting back from the trip. You know, the class she'd had done last week and then had to scrap because of the kids. One of which she still missed. Even working on class seemed to not be going so well, thanks to a drawer in her desk that stuck closed. After pulling on it for a while she managed to finally get it open, and since she now really felt the need to get out some frustration, she slammed the drawer shut about a half dozen times just because she could.

"...I don't even remember why I needed this open," Jaina said, frowning at the drawer.

"Yeah, but you sould expect me to be an idiot by now," she pointed out, smiling a little back. "Miss 'I went away for five years.'"

"That was not planned," Jaina reminded her. "Also totally not my fault."

"It could've been," Rose snarked. "We can't know."

"I think I have some very reliable sources who will tell you that speeding up time is not a Jedi power." Maybe Jacen could, who knew.

"Yeah, but they're all related to you," she pointed out. She shrugged. "Yeah...I know. Just - seemed easier to see if I could forget everything."

"Didn't work, huh?" Seeing as how Rose was, you know, here.

"Yeah well, I missed you people," Rose said, making a face.

"You better have. I know I definitely missed you," Jaina admitted. "The earlier hug might have said that, too."

"Something like that," she agreed. "I mean, I'm not the one who's good at languages or anything, but I think I can translate that much."

Jaina smiled and said, "I'm glad you decided to stop missing us today rather than next week. If I'd missed you, I would have been pissed." No, seriously. That would not be fair.

"Going home next week?" Rose asked. "Cause seriously, that would have blown."

"Next week's spring break. I just got back from home, pretty much literally. I landed about an hour ago," Jaina told her. "So great timing!"

"Yeah, well, timing's a strong point," she joked. "You gonna go on the school trip? Gonna be a chaaperone?"

"Looks like. I told my parents and they started talking like this was my last chance at a vacation ever. Which... okay, it might be," she admitted.

"Not as long as I'm around," Rose promised. "If I get time off, you're getting a call and dragged out."

"Good to know," Jaina said with a lopsided grin. "How often do you get time off?"

Rose paused then laughed. "No idea. I mean, we technically get vacation, but I haven't actually asked."

"Ask. It's good to know," Jaina advised. "Just in case you ever decide you need to be in New York or something right this second and can't because you need paperwork approval."

"I'll keep it in mind," she agreed laughingly. "But now I wanna know why I'd need to be in New York..."

She shrugged. "Who knows? I once went to New York on an impromptu trip to visit Chuck. Things like this happen."

"Damn, I miss Chuck," Rose admitted. "Have you talked to him recently? He helped me out a lot right after the - attack at St Vlad's."

"I talked to him some at New Year's," she said. "He's surprisingly helpful sometimes."

She nodded. "How's he doing with the whole multimillion dollar company thing?"

"I've only heard bits and pieces, but his hotel's nice. Oh, and he owns an illegal speakeasy now," she said, like that was totally normal.

"Of course he does," Rose agreed, figuring from Chuck she'd take that as totally normal. "I'd worry more if he didn't."
