En route to Bastion- Monday

If she was being really fair about it, Jaina knew that she'd had it surprisingly easy, considering everything she was juggling, and she'd taken it all on in a relatively short amount of time. It also had to be said that she had a lot of help and didn't do any of it alone.

Except when it came to her headstrong teenage padawan who didn't really have a sense of his own mortality yet. Since leaving Coruscant they'd been on the trail of at least some of the One Sith, had a couple skirmishes before they vanished, and there had been a few fights about how to handle oneself in a situation like this when your Master was terrifying in a fight and you were just still learning. At the moment he was probably sulking in the cabin he'd claimed on the ship they'd borrowed, and Jaina was in the pilot's seat, wondering if it'd be wrong to make the Imperial-based Darkmeld Jedi go drinking with her just to commiserate once she got home.

At least for now, she just sent a text. Sometimes I want to apologize for my teen years.

Which was not actually an apology.

"Unfortunately that would probably be a conflict of interest for me."

You know. The Empress running a Jedi school in Imperial territory.

Anakin laughed. "We can call them the Jainas," he said. "When you need a good boot up your ass."

Jaina laughed, too. "I like it. It's very specific."

And better than a camel named after her.

"Plus you're scary and people should want to be like you," Anakin said.

"See, that goes back to the problem I'm having right now," she said.

"Your apprentice wants to be too much like you," Anakin said.

"Maybe I should take away his Jainas," she said.

"Put a Jaina up his ass," Anakin muttered, "but that only ever made me more convinced I was right and being oppressed."

"Which is what I'm trying to avoid. I don't think I really got how hard it is to do this," she admitted. "It's basically adopting a teenager."

"It's exactly like adopting a teenager," Anakin said. "With superpowers. Terrifying, huh?"

"I'm sure wherever she is, Aunt Mara is feeling pretty smug right now," Jaina said.

"Oh, she and Obi-Wan are no doubt laughing it up," Anakin said dryly.

"We should probably hope they're ragging on Uncle Luke more," Jaina frowned.

"Well, his hair is much worse, for one," Anakin said. "That should keep them busy for a few years, right?"
