Room 313, Tuesday early afternoon

[solo_sword]

Jaina had decided that even on a break week, there simply wasn't enough time. She'd gotten up early today, started going through her messages and reports that had been sent overnight, and really wasn't happy with how long she'd been doing this when she finally looked at her chronometer. She sighed and put the datapad down for now, mainly because she was going to get eyestrain soon if she kept looking at it.

Ordinarily she would have just gone home till classes started up again, taken care of things, checked up on her squadron, maybe run a campaign or two while she was actually in the vicinity of the war. But if this was John's last week here, she really didn't want to do that now. Though she still wasn't sure how to tell him she was planning to go next week instead, as "I'm going back to where everything bad happens as soon as you leave" probably wouldn't go over well.

She waved her hand, opening the door, maybe for once actually hoping for some sort of distraction.

[Open door, open post.]

"Dave would get over it. So long as they read my name and someone walked across the stage, he'd never know the distance." It was wrong that John was wondering how much it would take to get Ben to stick on a wig...

"At least until he tried to talk to you?" she asked.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Nah, only a problem if he expected me to talk back," John teased.

[solo_sword]

"Don't tempt me," Jaina said. "I'm pretty sure he couldn't find you if I kidnapped you to another galaxy."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Is it kidnapping if I flee willingly?"

[solo_sword]

"Probably not. If I steal you away? Does that work better?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"That works," he agreed. "Do I need to pack anything?"

[solo_sword]

"Just you," she said, turning towards him. "Travel light and all. Oh, and the bedding."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"So I don't get to bring a pair of pants but I can bring my pillow and blankets?" John snickered.

[solo_sword]

"Do you see a problem with this plan?" she grinned.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Oh right! "No, no problems from me!"

[solo_sword]

"A little slow on the uptake there, huh?" she teased.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Not ever. "I was just making sure you meant it."

[solo_sword]

"Oh, I meant it," she assured him. "I always mean it."

"So call up a transport," he said, laying down and pulling his legs up comfortably on her bed. No, he didn't care if this meant he was dislodging her from where she sat. "I'll wait here."

[solo_sword]

"Make yourself at home," Jaina joked, readjusting herself now that he'd moved. "You know if I called for the transport it wouldn't work out that way though."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"True," he agreed. "Because I'd suggest you suggest something to the pilot and then drag you to the back--oh, that's not what you meant."

[solo_sword]

Jaina laughed. "I definitely like your way better there."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Because my way is the fun way," he informed her.

[solo_sword]

"It is. One of the reasons I like having you around." And suddenly it occurred to her that they were going to be going for long periods without sex. She could only imagine how bitchy she'd be then.

"Consider me always amazed there are other reasons," John laughed.

[solo_sword]

"You can't still be amazed," Jaina told him, laying down next to him. "It's been too long to still be amazed."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I can be amazed," he argued lamely.

[solo_sword]

"No you can't," she said. "You have to take it upon yourself to realize that I've had a good two years to find reasons and you're just going to have to deal with it." She was rounding up.

"Tell me that doesn't mean we're going to practice going without," he verified, perhaps sounding worried at the notion.
