The beach- Thursday evening

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?

Well, there went Anakin's brilliant stroke of logic. "Good thing actually being old is a long way off."

She nodded, but found that she had to ask, with the last couple days being what they were. "Do you ever get curious about the stuff that's happened between your time and mine or Ben's?"

At least she might be able to figure out if he'd even want to know, or if he'd be like Luke there.

"Of course I get curious. How could I not?" Anakin ran a hand through his hair, frowning in thought. "I can tell this war obviously ends sometime, at least. And that's good, but I don't want to get complacent just because I know that. So I want to know things, but I don't know if I should."
solo_sword: (attentive)

"That's where it always gets tricky," she said, frowning too.

And Anakin was anything but the kind of person who would be content to find things out and then let events play out as they would.

"For you as much as for me," he guessed.
solo_sword: (conversating)

"That would be how the Tiny Mom situation got like this," she told him. "There's never really a good way to do it or not to do it. Like... Luke doesn't want to know what happens, so as much as I want to warn him about things like the Vong, I can't, but I don't think there's anything he could do about it now even if he did find out and it wouldn't be fair to dump that sort of thing on him anyway. It's a weird position to be in, no matter what position you're in."

"It would have been bad no matter what," Anakin agreed, nodding. "What about you? Ben's got to know stuff you don't yet. Have you ever wanted to know?"
solo_sword: (taking it in)

"Oh yeah. I got some of the big stuff out of him as it was happening," Jaina admitted. "Which... I'm glad I know, but it's been a lot of stress for a long time because I do. Now I hear bits and pieces of things when he's willing to tell me."

"So this is one of those situations where there's no single right answer," Anakin concluded. "Of course it is."
solo_sword: (over the shoulder)

"It is. Basically you do what you think is right and hope the damage isn't too bad," she sighed.
