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?

"Thanks," Luke said, giving her another hug--he figured most of the family could use a few this week.

She hugged him back, saying, "Sorry I can't see you this time for a happier reason, like... anything else."

"Yeah, me too. Will you be making it back for graduation?" he asked. "I can't miss my alternative universe son graduating, right?"

"I'm going to try," she replied. "Time goes so fast for me that it's hard to give a definite answer, but so far I'm planning on it." Which was one of the reasons she was watching the Corellia stuff now.

"Good," Luke said "And call me if you ever need to talk and--" he trailed off "--your version of me is busy or something?" he ended lamely.

She laughed a little and said, "My version of you is pretty much always busy."

"I'm never too busy to take a call from you," Luke said. "Assuming no one's confiscated my comlink or something."

"Which I'm sure never happens," she lied. "I'll remember that."
