Ben split his attention between Val and Ender as he ate.

Val picked up the piece of bread, then smushed it with her fist, and then dropped it onto the floor and screamed.

"...so much for that," Ben commented.

Ender sighed. "Maybe next time, you should show her how," he advised, squatting down to pick up the bread.

The little cleaner droid zipped out and beeped at Ender, then began vacuuming up the crumbs, anxious to appear useful.

Ben chuckled. "Yeah, probably," he agreed, pulling off another piece of bread. "Into your mouth, kid," he said, demonstrating. "See?"

"Like this," Ender said, picking off a piece of his own sandwich and putting it visibly into his mouth.

Val stuck her fingers in her mouth.

"Not the fingers, goof," Ben teased, giving her another piece of bread.

She grabbed it with wet fingers-- and raised her tiny hand.

"No, no," Ender said quickly, "Into your mouth."

Val frowned dubiously and put it in her mouth.

"Guess she's not loving the idea of sandwiches yet," Ben commented.

"She's not used to eating anything solid," Ender pointed out.

"True," Ben said. "It was worth a try anyway."

Ender smiled. "Maybe next time," he said. "We'll warm her up to it."

Ben kissed his cheek. "I'll check her diaper and wash her face if you want to make sure the diaper bag's stocked."

"Sounds like a plan," Ender said. "Just make sure to stuff another sandwich down your gullet before we leave - I know you, you'll get hungry."

Ben kissed him again. "Yes, kreetle."

Ender smiled and wound an arm around his shoulders. He kissed Ben back firmly.

"--I'll go get the diaper bag."

"I love you," Ben said, smiling up at him. "Back in a bit."

Ender ran his fingers quickly through Ben's hair, then pulled away. "Likewise," he said, turning and going.

Ben made another sandwich and crammed it into his mouth like a classy, classy person as he took Val back to her room to get her changed.

He returned with a dry Val in a new, clearly Naboo-influenced outfit ten minutes later.

"Ready?" he called out.

"We're good to go," Ender called back, walking back out with a bag slung over his shoulder. "As long as she doesn't poop more than six times."

"In a few hours? Possible but not probable," Ben agreed, heading to the speeder.

"So no overnight stays in any hotels, either," Ender teased, following right behind.

Ben laughed. "Not with the girlie, no," he agreed, strapping Val into her chair.

Ender got into his seat a moment later, turning around to check on Val immediately. "Are you comfy, sweetheart?"

Val flailed her arms around in agreement as Ben started the speeder up and headed into town.

Ender let out a little sigh and sagged into his seat eventually. "I wonder if anything has changed since the last time we were there."

"It's been a few years," Ben mused, "but Naboo hasn't been in the forefront of any of the battles ~~because the writers forgot about it~~, so I don't think there's new memorials or anything."
