Room 313, Sunday evening

[solo_sword]

After getting that voicemail on Friday, Jaina had pushed aside any disappointment at not getting a goodbye when she remembered they weren't great at them anyway. It had been a while since she'd had any of those, she was allowed to forget for a second. And then she'd promptly set to work without distractions.

This was why she was on a conference call when the voicemail came through, and when she finally got a chance to check her messages, she was left staring for a while. There was a moment where she thought to to call his phone back ranting at him for her thinking he was miserable at home while he was really in jail, but logic won out and she turned it off. After all, he probably didn't have access to his phone there.

And then a moment later she turned the comlink on again to try and leave a message along the lines of "NO MORE JAIL FOR YOU," but that would be wrong of her. She'd save that for when she saw him in person.

The part of the call about the prostitutes didn't bother her, though, strangely enough.

"More likely to hit him than hug him," John told her, enjoying the familiar scent and feel of her hair on his face. "Not that I did. We were good."

[solo_sword]

"Except for the jail." She was beginning to wonder how the reunions were going to go when she didn't seem to be able to let go of him now. This was just comfortable.

"That was all him." They were going to annoy any roommates he ended up with, that was how it would go. Very likely, John wouldn't even feel bad about it, just like he didn't feel bad now if Valentine dropped in.

"You had to call your brother, I think it counts," she decided, moving her head to look up at him.

"Only if he uses it against me later," he replied, leaning down to kiss her forehead.

[solo_sword]

Her eyes closed briefly at the touch, and she asked, "Think he will?"

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Nah, but he did ask about you," John told her.

[solo_sword]

"Did he now?" she said, eyebrows raised.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I think he likes you," John teased.

[solo_sword]

"Well, I'm charming," she said with a one-shouldered shrug.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Completely. "It's your best quality."

[solo_sword]

"So what'd he say?" she asked, unable to not be curious. She didn't really care what people thought of her, but she did think it was maybe important to be on Dave's good side.

Well, John had shown up with his boyfriend. "Just asked where you were and if you were still coming to visit. I think he wants to show you off to our father."

[solo_sword]

Jaina smiled, telling him, "I would not pass up that chance."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"You might not mean that after," he warned.

[solo_sword]

"I've stood up to politicians, torturers, warmasters and Dark Jedi. I can handle meeting your dad," she promised.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John laughed, "I don't know that they really compare. But you'll see what I mean."

[solo_sword]

Jaina shrugged again. "He can hate me and tell me to get out the second he meets me. I still want to meet him."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"He won't be that direct," John promised. "Besides, he can't not love you."

[solo_sword]

"Optimistic," she said, tightening her arms around him.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"It goes well with foolish," he replied.

[solo_sword]

She considered this, and decided, "Nah," leaning up to kiss him.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

He smiled and leaned down to return her kiss, thinking they waited too long for this part.

Keeping it light for the moment, she brought one hand up to his face, shamelessly taking advantage of the chance for more contact.
