“Uh, no, no, no, noooo….” Rey slurred as she stood up. She had acquired a reputation at the base at being good at everything, but it turned out even the best had their weakness: Rey’s was her inability to hold her liquor. They’d found a case of high quality brandy on a First Order ship they’d intercepted and were partaking around the campfire on base to celebrate.

Sure, technically students weren’t allowed in the lower levels of the school.  But Ana hadn’t followed the directions of so-called adults since two names back.  She could feel something down here, pulling at her, and eventually she just couldn’t resist the curiosity.  So she’d drawn herself inwards in the Force and snuck down, covering the dark blue flightsuit that was the uniform for her year with a stolen robe and looking like she knew what she was doing.  

But the last thing she was expecting was to find something that looked like a high security prison door, and of course she couldn’t just let that sit.  So she settled in to figure it out, fingers flying across the keypad to beat the security system and get it open before it realized it was being hacked.  A grin flickered across her face when the door slid open, and she swiftly stepped through before it closed again, relishing in her success before taking a moment to look around.  And freeze.  Because across the room, behind a transparisteel wall, stood a dead man.  She could only stare, a fear she hadn’t felt since that day in orbit around Hapes surging through her.

something cute for @goodofthegalaxy finally

Nervous. That was the word for what she’d been feeling. It was rare that Tenel Ka was anything approaching nervous. She had been a Jedi adn then a Queen and neither left much room for being unsure of one’s self. In this one thing, however, she found herself entirely unprepared. Her time with Jacen had been minimal and far too far between visits for her tastes and yet, somehow, she’d found herself in this position. It had taken a while for her to even notice, distracted as they all were with other matters.

Once she had realized what was going on she had considered the right thing to do for several days before finally reaching out to Jacen. The message she left for him was minimal, that something had happened and they needed to see one another face to face, as soon as possible. Now that she had resolved to tell him she felt the need to do it quickly to save herself any more anxiety about it. She had not even been sure he would reply any time soon. Force only knew what he was doing out there, but it worried her. Something had changed in her oldest friend and the light of her heart and she wasn’t sure what to make of it yet.

“You can’t just push people away. You need to talk to someone.” | misc starters

“I don’t need to talk to anybody if there’s nothing to talk about.”

Nothing Jaina couldn't handle on her own, in her eyes that was. Even if it actually might do her good to talk to someone the chances of her admitting that were slim-to-none. She liked to think that she’d made that clear anyway...except for when it came to her twin apparently. Kriff. Sometimes his ability to read her was apparent in the most inconvenient of moments. 

Stubbornness trumped admitting he might not be completely wrong all the same. 

Arms crossed stubbornly in front of herself and Jaina shoot her head adamantly. “And I so don’t push people away.”

There was a moment where Jacen wished he hadn’t been in the middle of drinking his caf when Ben spoke because laughing mid-sip was no fun. After setting his mug down and regaining his composure, he looked to his cousin with a grin.

 “I’m with you on the food,” he said. “Although, the alternate – if you want the best and most extravagant meals – is to be in a line of work like Tenel Ka. And we all know how much she enjoys that job. Maybe we can find an excuse to go to Hapes and get away from the cafeteria food for a bit…”

 Wiping his mouth with one of the scratchy cafeteria napkins, Jacen leaned back in his seat and eyed Ben for a few minutes before speaking again. “Have you been alright?”

“I suppose that’s true,” Ben conceded. Still, that didn’t add to the lack of enthusiasm he was demonstrating while he picked at his food. “Still, I think I could get the hang of being royalty. Having people wait on me? I could hack it, I reckon.” 

He was kidding, of course. Tenel Ka’s life seemed like sort of a nightmare, really. Apart from the servants, anyway.

“I think we should take advantage of your visiting Hapes idea, though. I think that we could come up with some sort of an excuse for that, don’t you?” 

What does Jaina fear about growing older? 

She fears doing it alone.
