Room 204 [Saturday morning]

It was, much to Tony Stark's chagrin, a rather unusual occurance for Ben Skywalker to wake up with a woman in his bed these days.

Or a man, for that matter, people reading the narrative.

And it was really not his style to be cuddled up against his ex-girlfriend-turned-Imperial Jedi (because even groggy, he could sense who he was next to) no matter how comfortable he was currently finding it.

"Um..." he began cautiously.

Sadly, Ben had not gotten any smoother in the last twenty years.

"Oh, Force. Don't even make me think about those. The gossip, as it is, has gotten so much worse in the past few years," Tahiri groaned, flustered enough by remembering that to send the second sock flying off on the completely wrong trajectory.

That restraint on his part was a relief as far as Tahiri was concerned, yes.

"I guess the change of venue was too interesting for them to pass up," she said dryly. And really hoped he hadn't actually heard any of it.

Tahiri cleared her throat and hoped she wasn't turning slightly red.

"Yes . . . I think they've noticed that too."

"We have so many of those," Tahiri replied, relieved to a ridiculous degree that he hadn't noticed.

Three pitches, three strikes, and that one had been a vicious slider down and away.

"It made for scintillating political gossip," Tahiri said, looking innocent. "For about two weeks. You know, the people you hang around with have been a terrible influence on your language."

As if anyone from their galaxy had a right to complain about other worlds' slang.

Tahiri took a moment to imagine that, then laughed.

"No matter how relative the term is there compared to the way we see it," and there was a tiny but pointed emphasis on the we, "I think I'd appreciate it if you didn't."

"And I'm sure you don't have any trouble getting Tony to give you strange looks as it is," Tahiri added.

"I'll never be able to picture you being interested in that," Tahiri admitted. "Honestly, doesn't he get it by now?"

"Oh, well, I can't fault him for that," Tahiri decided. "It always was fun."

"Oh, no you don't, Ben," Tahiri chided. "Just because you can't imagine it for yourself . . ."

"And which one of us would that have been, hmm?" Tahiri asked, glaring at him with the old playfulness.

"I promise, the thought never crossed my mind," Tahiri said, giving him a seriously, Ben? Seriously? look. "And I doubt it ever will."

She grinned, though. "Your looking out for my interests, however -- that's appreciated."

Tahiri moved in to give him a hug for that, out of impulse and gratitude.

"And I love you for it."

Not the same way she used to mean that, but she was fairly sure he knew that.
