The Imperial Palace- Bastion- Saturday

[solo_sword]

If Jaina had had her way, Dax and Daniel would have had something simple for their first birthday. Unfortunately, everything these days had to be a kriffing event run through committee, and there had been talk of how people were going to want to see holos of the boys, and how it really would help shore up support for them, all things considering. Jaina had argued probably more than she needed to, but the important thing was, she got her way on this one.

It was still bigger than she wanted, and there were too many people "from work," but she also hadn't had to put up any of the decorations and there were people actually hired to take them down. And really, it was nowhere near the levels that Anakin and Deadpool had competed to back in the day. The family was still there, and she was spending most of her time watching the boys to make sure that if they were going to have the time of their lives attempting to run around until they fell over (it was not going well!), that they didn't fall over into anything that would require a doctor.

Still, next year she was insisting on simple.

"Gravity's pretty tough, huh, kid?" Luke said, sitting down on the ground next to Daniel.

[solo_sword]

"They do a lot of that these days," Jaina said. "We're all pretty immune to it, I think."

[tatooine_doofus]

"Tip over?" Luke said, laughing. "Winter follows you around so closely I hardly see it."

[solo_sword]

"Wait, really?" she asked. "How are we supposed to get in trouble then?"

[tatooine_doofus]

"You're not supposed to," Luke said. "I'm sure you and Jacen are working around that slight hiccup as we speak."

[solo_sword]

"We'd better be. I actually gave Sia tips from when I was a kid to get out and get around the whole princessing thing," she admitted, and paused. "More and more I realize I deserve whatever I get with these two."

Luke burst out laughing. "Probably true."

[solo_sword]

Jaina sighed, and shrugged, because really, what did you do about that?

"So how are things with you these days?"

[tatooine_doofus]

"Good," Luke said. "Turns out that rebuilding an entire government takes a lot of work."

[solo_sword]

"Yeah, that's... a thing," Jaina said vaguely, having been through that a few times, and restructuring one now. "A lot of red tape and not enough resources?"

[tatooine_doofus]

"Exactly," Luke said. "Pretty sure your mom is two meetings away from physically cracking heads together."
