Room 424 [afternoon]

Ben had noticed something about the calendar today, and it was too good not to share. So he put the finishing touches on the squishy machine he'd been making for Jamie, then picked up his comlink and called home.

"Skywalker," his father answered.

"It's Ben," he replied, grinning. "May the fourth be with you."

There was a very long pause, then, "...did you just make an transgalactic comm to pun at me, Ben Skywalker?"

Ben laughed. "I did."

"Not really." Tahiri tried to shrug it off. "It's not a big deal."

Lies.

"It's not a --" She trailed off and smiled slightly. "That won't work on you, will it? But you shouldn't feel bad about what you said. I don't care if she doesn't like it."

Trying to lighten the mood, Tahiri grumbled, "You know one thing I can't stand is that she really ruins decent jokes sometimes."

"You can be," Tahiri allowed. "But you'd better not beat yourself up over this."
weetuskenraider: (Contemplative)

"I'm learning to deal with it," Tahiri tried to assure him. "So stop that."

"I'm trying," she replied, a touch guilty, because she hadn't exactly tried to remind him about the clinic. "It's usually a little better when you're around."

You know, except for when he said things that tended to poke at Riina's buttons.

"Who around here doesn't, sometimes?" Tahiri didn't seem like she was in any hurry to let go of his hand; if anything, she might be holding on a little tighter. "Everything about this world is off as far as she's concerned."
weetuskenraider: (Suspicious)

[personal profile] weetuskenraider 2009-05-05 05:14 pm (UTC)(link)
"Ben, easy," Tahiri said, tension showing around her eyes.
weetuskenraider: (Not Quite Smiling)

[personal profile] weetuskenraider 2009-05-05 05:33 pm (UTC)(link)
"No, it's okay." Tahiri stared down at her feet. "Sorry you have to deal with her. But that's not helping."
weetuskenraider: (Looking Up)

[personal profile] weetuskenraider 2009-05-05 06:02 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't know. Maybe I'm doing this the wrong way. The more I fight her off, the harder it gets, so maybe I shouldn't be . . . I don't know." Tahiri bit her lip.

"No. But maybe I can't just outright say no, either." She looked at him, resisting the urge to curl up in a ball. "I have to work this out."

And very much not ask what his version of her had done about it, thanks.

Tahiri moved to lean into him very slightly. "Hope it doesn't drive you crazy in the meantime. I wouldn't blame you if you didn't want to put up with this mess."
weetuskenraider: (Kinda Shy)

[personal profile] weetuskenraider 2009-05-05 07:28 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow, she'd missed that, and she allowed herself a smile as she closed her eyes, feeling a little more tension bleed away. "Can't get rid of me that easily, you know."
