Coruscant, GFFA [Tuesday morning, Fandom time]

"Yes, really," Luke was saying to his father over the comlink. "Leia and the babies are both doing fine, according to the meddroid, and they'll be born in a few months."

There was a pause.

"No, I'm not going to tell Han you said that."

Another pause.

"Or that."

And another pause.

"And that's not even physically possible--" he went pale as the voice on the other end continued, "all right, so it is, but you're not going to do that to your son-in-law."

He smiled. "No, no one thinks you're old." Mostly because they thought Anakin was dead, but details. "You're just going to be a grandfather. Okay, okay. Give Juliet and Rory my love. Bye, Dad."

Luke disconnected the call and shook his head, Surprisingly, that had gone better than he'd expected.

[OOC: Open for calls, sure.]

"Well, she's Leia," Luke said with a little laugh. "She's been varying degrees of scary and good for years."

[solo_sword]

"Probably since birth," Jaina agreed, and that was a scary thought.

"Speaking of, have you seen tiny Leia recently, or is it too weird for you?" Luke asked.

[solo_sword]

"I don't get the chance to talk to her much," she admitted. "I think the last time was at homecoming. But she took the class I taught last semester. That was weird for the first couple weeks."

"I'll bet," Luke said with a little chuckle. "Did you have to give your future mother detention?"

[solo_sword]

"No," she said, sounding a little disappointed. "I didn't give detention once. I almost feel gypped."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Well that doesn't seem fair," Luke agreed. "You'll have to try harder next time?"

[solo_sword]

"I got a good batch of kids," Jaina explained. "And don't get me wrong, I like when my job's actually easy. But when my job's easy and it means teenagers are behaving, I start to worry."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"I was a very well-behaved teenager," Luke claimed. "Well, aside from the 'joining an armed rebellion against the government' thing."

[solo_sword]

"I'm sure that was just a phase you went through," Jaina grinned.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Doesn't everyone?" he asked, laughing. "Most of my friends did!"

Luke's view of the galaxy was slightly skewed.

[solo_sword]

Jaina actually couldn't argue that. Every single one of her friends had been involved in the Vong war. "If all your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?"

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Well, yeah," Luke said. "I'm the only one who could stop them from braining themselves at the bottom."

[solo_sword]

There was a long pause.

"That's the best answer to that I've ever heard."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke laughed. "You ask people this question a lot?"

[solo_sword]

"No, but I have asked it before, jokingly, and no one ever as a good answer," she replied.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Maybe they don't spend as much time leaping off of things as I do," Luke offered.

[solo_sword]

"This is entirely possible," she said. "Most other people probably don't leap off things at all."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"They're really missing out," Luke said, "but probably aren't being shot at either."

[solo_sword]

"Which is a plus for them. Not that I've been shot at for a while, but I seem to remember it being not fun."

Four months. It'd been four months since she was last shot at.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"They missed, and badly," Luke replied. "Not a big deal."

[solo_sword]

"It should probably worry us both that the words 'no big deal' were just said here, huh?" Jaina wondered.

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

Luke was quiet for a minute. "Probably," he admitted.

[solo_sword]

"At least our friends can say it, too," she said with a shrug. "Slight consolation."

[tatooine-doofus.livejournal.com]

"Or proof that we need to find other people to spend time with," Luke said with a laugh.
