"Last load," Ben said from behind a pile of metal. "Think we could start our own branch of Stark's right here in the room?"

His side of his new room was already neatly organized--not that he had much that wasn't droid parts--and he was talking mostly to hide his nerves.

Given the room's other occupant, he wasn't sure why he was even trying.

"How about cookies large enough to need forks?" he teased.

"Does. Not. Count. And neither does using green food coloring to make it look more like a vegetable!" She'd tried that one already. If it didn't work for her...

Ben pouted overdramatically. "You're no fun at all," he said.

"Because I don't want you dying of malnutrition. Yeah, I'm a real brat like that sometimes." Karla laughed. "Maybe I'll just finish off the last of this ice cream so you can't have anymore," she threatened.

[momslilassassin]

"Even more mean!" Ben replied. "I don't know why I let you stick around and insult me like this."

Ignore the laughter. Really.

"You don't," Karla said, tossing her hair. "I'm here visiting Ender. Well--doing him a favor and keeping you occupied so he can have a few minutes of peace. I'm kind that way."

Ben reached out to bat her with a pillow. "How sweet of you."

[glacial_queen]

There really wasn't anywhere for her to go, so Karla just held up her hands to try to ward off the pillow. "Thank you," she said between giggles, "for noticing!"
