Aboard the Jade Shadow [afternoon]

They were getting close to Dathomir, but Ben, after learning his lesson from the Maw, decided to take a quick detour to a nearby system to top off their fuel and food reserves and to check for any mail they might have received in the past few months.

After so many weeks in the ship and in Sinkhole Station, he was kind of desperate to breathe clean, non-recylced air again too, and maybe get a haircut.

Ben's life of intergalactic intrigue was never-ending thrills, it was true.

"Like Ender needs you to talk about something to understand it," Karla said with a pert grin.
glacial_queen: (Gossip)

[personal profile] glacial_queen 2011-08-10 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
"So, how are things between you and Ender?" Karla asked, trying to sound casual and not at all like she was hoping for gossip. "Easier now that there's not an annoying Mind Drinker cock-blocking you eating all your supplies?"

"That's no surprise," Karla said quietly. "Is he dealing with it at all? Or just pretending it'd not bothering him?"
glacial_queen: (Authority)

"I can send tea," Karla offered. "The kind that makes you have no dreams. If you think it would help."
glacial_queen: (Conversation 3)

"You could tell him it's chamomile?" Karla suggested, but only because she knew there was no way that would ever happen. Lying to Ender was like kicking a puppy, except a thousand times worse.

"Maybe you can tell your dad it's chamomile and have him tell Ender," Karla suggested.

Because she'd been replaced by a Bad Idea Bear or something.

"Hey! I never said these were good ideas," Karla said ruefully. "Although I understand the confusion. Usually, my ideas are awesome."
glacial_queen: (Smiling at someone)

[personal profile] glacial_queen 2011-08-13 07:25 pm (UTC)(link)
"I miss you, too," Karla said, her heart a little lighter now that she'd made him laugh. "You and Ender both. It's very wrong, walking by your room now, and not sticking my head in to yell for ice cream or see what horrible movie we can distract Ender from."
glacial_queen: (Amused)

[personal profile] glacial_queen 2011-08-13 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Ben was going to hear about how wrong he was after Karla finally got around to watching those movies. Of course, the blatant thing the two guys had for one another probably explained why he liked it.

"I'll add that to the queue of things for us to do this week," she said, having NO idea how much the fates were laughing at that. "Warren's being fussy."

Ben could probably parse that correctly.
glacial_queen: (Concerned)

"...No?"

That was convincing, Karla.

"I agreed to take a vacation, even!"

After fighting about it for awhile.
glacial_queen: (Head-tilt Amused)

[personal profile] glacial_queen 2011-08-14 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
"Back to school," Karla said. "But Warren's already decided we're staying in the hotel instead of the cabins. So it totally will be a vacation."

With classes. And textbooks from home.

"I only have..." Karla paused to remember "...three! And my shift at 'Dite's store. And I thought it would be nice to see people!"

...And in Hawaii, she would be too easily tempted to put the books down and go for a swim. Or lie out on the sand.

"Almost a month," Karla said. "Kaeleer travels at double-speed of Fandom." They were hurting hers, too. "Still don't feel like I've done a damn thing. It's all just prep, prep, and more prep."
