The beach- Thursday evening

[solo_sword]

Jaina's portal was delayed. She had no idea how a portal could be delayed, but here she was. After a while of waiting at the causeway, she'd come to the beach, figuring that if she was going to be stuck waiting, she should at least get a change of scenery.

Watching the waves made her think too much, though. About her grandfather and Tiny Mom, about how certain things just kept popping up through the years, even about how much her thinking had changed since she was sixteen. That was when she'd check her datapad to read up on what was going on on Corellia, because potential conflict was a happier subject.

Or she'd check on her portal's ETA and curse at the very idea of gnomes when she saw it was delayed again. How?

Ben laughed. "It's not often I get away with something around you. I'm going to savor it."

"Yes, fine," she conceded, "but I'm also missing out on Eric and Grandfather. The only way to make that better is to add Anakin in there."

"Next time we'll make it a quartet, just for you," Ben promised. "We attracted a crowd, so I'm sure if you sent out an email, someone could help you out."

"I might try it. And then I might be able to tell you if Tall, Blond and Fangy is a yeller," she said. "Times like this, I wish Artoo was still here full-time."

"He does have a knack for taking holos he shouldn't necessarily have," Ben agreed.

"I still have no idea who has copies of what," Jaina grumbled.

[momslilassassin]

"Just assume everyone," Ben said, "and that way you're happily surprised when it isn't true."

"That doesn't make me feel better," she told him.

Because the Pussycat Dolls thing had totally been recorded.

"Was I supposed to make you feel better?" Ben asked.

[solo_sword]

"Yes," she lied.

Ben leaned in to give her a quick hug. "There."

[solo_sword]

"That does help," she told him with a smile. Especially when her Ben was off hero-worshipping the bad twin.
