Room 424 [evening]

[momslilassassin]

An afternoon thinking he was a little girl had not been exactly what Ben had been planning, though the distraction had been kind of a relief.

...not that he'd admit that.

He was in his room, carefully examining his air vent to see how the gremlin had gotten in and looking to see if there was a way to discourage them from returning without breaking the terms of the treaty.

The door was open a crack.

"He used a dark side trick to track us from the first time he and Jaina faced off," Ben said. "Dad knew it and let it happen." He yanked at his braid. "I don't want to know the future like that."

That didn't sound like fun to John either. "Is there a chance of you seeing the future like that?"

[momslilassassin]

Ben nodded. "Dad can do it, and Granddad, and Jacen..."

Nope, that name wasn't getting easier to say.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Weird. "Why can't Jaina? Does it skip girls?"

[momslilassassin]

"Shoddy characterization, I imagine...I'm not sure," Ben said. "I've never heard Aunt Leia mention seeing the future..."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Seems unfair to the girls, though I wouldn't push another weird Jedi thing on Jaina," John sighed.

[momslilassassin]

Ben decided not to mention the shatterpoint thing. "She's weird enough," he declared instead.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Yeah, John wasn't going to tell Ben how much he liked the weird. Or how the events of Sunday had put some things in perspective.

"Yeah, I'm kinda looking forward to seeing how much weirder she gets this week with gremlin bites."

[momslilassassin]

Ben wrinkled up his nose. "Gremlins."

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"You can make that face after the gremlins make you fight a friend for the love of another," John told him. "Or when Fandom turns you into an animal or cookie."

[momslilassassin]

"I thought I was a tap dancing toddler?" Ben offered.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

John had missed something. "A what?"

[momslilassassin]

"You heard me," Ben mumbled.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

Oh, that was good.

"And your droids have footage of this, I hope?" John verified.

[momslilassassin]

"Probably the beginning," Ben muttered as a little mouse droid zipped out from under the bed and beeped triumphantly.

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Well, congrats, you've made it in Fandom," John said, almost chuckling a little.

[momslilassassin]

"Just what I've always wanted," Ben said dryly.
