Room 313, Sunday afternoon

[solo_sword]

With the time change she didn't quite understand, Jaina had seen an opportunity to get some more sleep and have a nice easy day. This didn't work out as planned, though, as her body and brain had both decided they'd already had the required amount of sleep, thanks, and she'd gotten up to go and practice some drills because it was much less boring than laying there.

When she got back and cleaned up, she was almost tempted to head down to the garage for a while. Maybe it was the recent transmissions home or certain conversations she'd been having lately, but she was getting a bit restless knowing there was nothing she could do from here. It was a new feeling, one she didn't like, and while she knew she should probably learn to deal with it, she didn't see that happening. Still, staying in for five more minutes was showing an effort, right?

"You're teasing me on purpose," Jaina decided. Because she was really curious.

"Yep," he said. "That and I left it upstairs."

[solo_sword]

"You're lucky I'm patient," she said. No, she wasn't. Pretty much ever.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I'll go get it while you guys get some cake, okay?" he offered, doubting her patience.

[solo_sword]

"Some'll be waiting for you," she assured him.

"But not much if you take too long," Luke added.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I'll go fast!" John said, heading out.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"I like him," Luke told Jaina after he'd left. "He can stay."

[solo_sword]

"Good. I was planning on keeping him around for a while," Jaina admitted.

Luke smiled. "Is it weird having a birthday without Jacen?"

[solo_sword]

"It really is," she nodded. "I know we would have spent it apart anyway, probably, even if I was back home, but we've always spent it together until now. Takes some getting used to."

"I'm the wrong half of the wrong twin set," Luke said quietly, "but if you need anything, let me know?"

[solo_sword]

"I will," she assured him. And there were things she could tell him that were bothering her lately, but due to timeline issues and the whole celebration thing at the moment, she kept it to herself. "I'm well-schooled in going to Uncle Luke."

Luke picked up on the emotions, but didn't push it.

He leaned in and kissed her forehead instead. "Good."

Which was when John returned carrying a kitchen curling broom with a bow stuck on the end. "This is just part," he said proudly. "I also got tickets to go see a match."

[solo_sword]

She laughed, remembering that discussion. "You didn't," she said, amused.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I did," he said, holding out the broom. "Now you too can be a curler."

[solo_sword]

"I might have to have you demonstrate," she warned, taking the broom and looking it over.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"That's why we're going to a match," he said. "You can see how the pros do it."

[solo_sword]

That was about when Luke chose to make his exit with permission omg, leaving Jaina to say, "I can still ask you to show me. Doesn't have to be now." Because hi, dorm room.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"I suppose I could show you, assuming you showed me that thing Luke gave you," he said.

[solo_sword]

"The remote? You have said you wanted to see me in action," she said, and nodded. "Deal."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Deal," he repeated, moving closer. "You know, I missed out on giving you a birthday kiss when we arrived." He didn't want to weird out poor Luke.

[solo_sword]

Still holding the broom upright in one hand, she took a step closer, smiling. "You should definitely fix that," she nodded.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Moving to stand in front of her, he slung his arms around her waist. "I can try," he leaned in to kiss her.
