Room 313, Tuesday night

Jaina had been bored enough to actually debate going out for a while, wondering if everyone else had gotten over their embarrassment to go out into public yet. However, her comlink going off stopped her before she could go anywhere.

She wasn't able to keep the surprise out of her voice when she answered and saw Kyp's image before her. "So you do remember I exist."

"You look so shocked," Kyp said, almost smiling.

"Yeah, well, I doubt I can be blamed."

"Borleias is a go," he said.

Jaina dropped the attitude, not wanting to get her hopes up. "And you're telling me this to tease me?"

"I'm telling you this because you're going to need to be here in a couple days your time if you want to take part, Great One."

"If you're messing with me, I swear you're not getting out of that lightsaber fight alive."

Kyp laughed. "I doubt that."

"What changed your mind?" she wondered.

"You stopped pressing to come back. I haven't heard from you in weeks," he replied. "As long as you were begging to come home, you couldn't have been actually working on any of the things I sent you there to work on."

Jaina hated that that sort of made sense to her. And that it seemed like a really obvious reason. Still, she was going home. "Yeah, okay. Just tell me the details."

By the time she ended the transmission, she was doing her best not to get too excited. She was probably still going to have to do a lot of proving herself when she got there, but still, now she could.

Okay, there went not getting too excited.


[Open door, open post post-phone call. There are way too many repeat words there.]

Jaina should be proud. Not only was John out of bed, but he was out of his room and wandering the dorm rather aimlessly. He really should find Chuck Bass, but possibly part of him wasn't looking forward to that encounter.

"So, not only did I leave my room today, but I left my floor. I think that calls for celebrating."

"I must have good timing," he agreed, curious about her mood but returning the gesture. "Something tells me it has nothing to do with me..."

"Ah, I take it someone got called to duty?" He was happy for her. Just not for him, necessarily.

"That's soon," John replied. Considering he was talking to the girl who told him the previous wee that she didn't think she was going to live through this war, he wasn't exactly excited to hear she was leaving.

He raised an eyebrow at that. "For you? Always."

And then there was grinning. "Well, I mean, I guess. If it wouldn't cramp your goddessy style."

"So count me in," John told her. "I'll play whatever role you need."

"You trailed off there, I missed what you meant," John said helpfully.

She was likely the only person in Fandom to ever see the particular smile that crossed his face when she said that. He tightened his arms around her. "I'm glad to hear that."

"Like the horseback riding side?" Teasing was all he had.

"I'll consider it," John said in response. "You think I haven't seen you bossy?" He happened to like her bossy.

"I don't think you have to worry about me not liking whatever different side you think you're going to show me," he reasoned.

His thoughts exactly. "Not unless you start running around base smothering people with a pillow."
