Bastion- Monday

[solo_sword]

A major benefit of having someone to train these days meant that Jaina was actually able to go on sanctioned missions again, which she had missed. Maybe her missions were different now, in the name of avoiding a galactic incident, but she still got to go.

And it meant she had to leave the kids at home, which was hard. She’d actually underestimated how hard it would be, so she was going to have to figure out a way to reconcile that. As soon as she got home, she said hi to Jag, and then headed into the boys’ room to look in on them while they were napping. They were both actually starting to wake up, which meant she could get actual time with them when they knew it.

It was then that she noticed the little spot of white at the front of Dax’s hairline, now that he has enough hair to actually have a hairline. She gently touched the spot, like maybe he’d gotten something on him and Jag had somehow missed it, but no, it looked like it was just part of his hair. You know. Like Jag’s. Which he had gotten after a serious head injury resulting in a scar and that streak. It probably shouldn’t have been a surprise when she knew Sia, but it was.

“Hey, honey?” she called. “How is this genetic?”


[Had to do it eventually. Can be open!]

She has access to you earlier than we did.

[sith_happened]

And here I was thinking I was such an easy-going personality.

Ahsoka was having a laughing fit with no idea why.

[solo_sword]

Thats cute! Who says you can’t be funny?

She was still a brat.

[sith_happened]

I'm secretly hilarious, Anakin said. No one knows about it.

[solo_sword]

I know. I’ve seen some of your gremlin bites.

[sith_happened]

I thought I was a bird a month or so back. I ATE THINGS OFF THE GROUND.

[solo_sword]

Wait what

[sith_happened]

IT WAS NOT A GOOD DAY

[solo_sword]

There, there I’m sure it could have been worse, somehow.

[sith_happened]

Hard to see how, really. There was bug eating.

[solo_sword]

Someone could have taped it?

[sith_happened]

So glad the pirate's not around any more.

[solo_sword]

I bet. So aside from big-eating and shipping Juliet off to me, how are you?

Then, Also maybe ship her to Tenel Ka. Allana’s a good influence. And an arsonist.

[sith_happened]

Ooooh, there's an idea. A summer camp in space?

[solo_sword]

I can talk to Tenel Ka. Allana could always use kids her own age around, and they don’t put up with preteen sass over there.

[sith_happened]

And she'd love to see a matriarchal society, Anakin said. Please do, and pass along my thanks to Tenel Ka.

[solo_sword]

No problem. Hopefully I’ll have an answer by the time I’m in town.

[sith_happened]

Are you bringing the boys with you when you come? Anakin asked eagerly.

[solo_sword]

I am! I just left Jag alone with them for over a week, he can have a break.

Poor Jag.

[sith_happened]

Poor Jag, Anakin commented.

[solo_sword]

He does have help. But not at night.

Then, HE OKAYED THIS THOUGH

[sith_happened]

Also, he's the parent too, Anakin said. You're not the only one who has to get up in the night.

[solo_sword]

He does, and we split things pretty evenly. He's just also the one who has things like early morning debriefings/speeches/government stuff I will not do.

[sith_happened]

I wouldn't do that stuff either.

Not that anyone had asked him to.

[solo_sword]

He'd rather not, either. But he's doing that while I do Jedi stuff all the time now, so I try to give him space for things like sleep.

[sith_happened]

Showers too? Anakin checked.

[solo_sword]

Yes. It keeps us sane.

[sith_happened]

And clean, Anakin added. There's only so much Febreze can do.
