IX Serendipity Place- Friday morning

[solo_sword]

They'd gotten in early this morning, got set up in the housing Jaina was surprised was there but from a security standpoint worked really well, and now it was a matter of getting the things they'd need if they were going to be here for however long. Having come straight off a mission before everything happened, she had even less here, but the boys needed to not be cooped up and Jag needed to acclimate a little, so she sent them on a supply run in town while she did the paranoid stuff like sweeping for bugs and the like.

While she was doing that, she sent a text. Guess who's around for a while?


[For one!]

Anakin nodded. "Rey's at Stark's on Sundays if you want to find some kind of anti-tracking device."

[solo_sword]

"We're actually covered there," Jaina told him, finally going for the coffee. "I worked it out during the Vong war, I just need to make a couple adjustments."

[sith_happened]

"Good," Anakin said with a smile. "They'd regret coming here deeply but I'd rather your attempted assassins not know about the island at all."

[solo_sword]

"Same," she nodded. "There are people I trust who can make some guesses, but they're not talking. We didn't say where we were going, there's no ship to track, no bugs on us, we don't have enough stuff with us for anyone to slip something in. We're good for now."

"Good," Anakin said, relaxing slightly. "You're welcome to stay as long as you need to. The kids will be thrilled to spend time with their--" he paused to figure out what the relationship was. "--grandnephews?"

[solo_sword]

Jaina had to pause as she checked that math.

"Yeah, oh that's weird," she said. "And they don't get a ton of time with other kids so I'm sure they'll love it."

"They can come down and watch the summer shenanigans," Anakin said. "It's fun."

Possibly only when you were Anakin.

[solo_sword]

"As long as they don't end up in it, right?" Jaina checked.

[sith_happened]

"I don't choose children," Anakin said.

[solo_sword]

"Okay, good. Because Daniel would try to keep up and it would be a mess," she said.

[sith_happened]

"It would be," Anakin said. "Sometimes chocolate pudding's involved."

[solo_sword]

"We're doing our own laundry, they will definitely not be in chocolate pudding," she said immediately.

Anakin asked. "Everyone looks happy when they do it."

Anakin was a liar.

[solo_sword]

"Do you know who wouldn't be happy?"

Easy guess.

[sith_happened]

"Jag?" Anakin guessed.

[solo_sword]

"Me. But good luck with him, too," Jaina said.

[sith_happened]

Anakin grinned. "Sometimes they're really fun."

[solo_sword]

"I've done a few," she said. "I'm sure I'm going to get called again."

[sith_happened]

"You are," Anakin said, nodding.

[solo_sword]

Jaina shrugged. "It'll keep me on my toes. I'm burning the shirts though."

[sith_happened]

"They're very flammable," Anakin agreed.

[solo_sword]

"Is that a feature or a bug?"

Hard to know with him.

[sith_happened]

"I haven't decided," Anakin admitted.

[solo_sword]

Jaina smiled. "I missed you."

[sith_happened]

Anakin smiled back. "I missed you too."
