Coruscant, GFFA [Wednesday night, Fandom time]

[momslilassassin]

After dropping their bags off at the Skywalker apartment, Ben insisted that Ender and Karla experience some of the sights and sounds (and smells, sorry to say) of Coruscant, and practically dragged them down to the Coruscant University sector and into the Haunch of Nerf, one of the stranger cantinas on the planet.

"I'd recommend the nerf," Ben said, eyes twinkling over his glass of lum. He rarely drank, but lum tasted like home and made him feel more like an adult. Tonight he decided he needed both.

[OOC: For the two mentioned!]

"Thank you, Ambassador Skywalker," Karla said, laughing into her lum. "Not that I ever doubted you in the least."

[momslilassassin]

"Oh, Jedi Skywalker is fine," Ben said, waving a hand and ignoring how that name got the attention of the couple sitting near them.

[glacial_queen]

"Jedi Knight Skywalker, I'm sure," Karla said, also ignoring the couple at the other table. There was something almost...comfortable?...about talking to or about names that carried recognition.

...Unlike in Syria, of course.

[momslilassassin]

Ben smirked. "Nope, just Jedi. I think it sounds kind of dumb, but no one ever asked me."

[glacial_queen]

"Because in the duration of our acquaintance, you've always been so reticent about expressing your opinion until asked," Karla smirked.

[momslilassassin]

"When it comes to Jedi matters, I'm not going to contradict my father on much," Ben said.

[glacial_queen]

"In public, surely, but what about at home?" Karla asked, trying to get a measure of the man Ben's father was.

[momslilassassin]

Ben's lips quirked up. "At home, there are bigger issues to talk about than titles."

[glacial_queen]

"Is it how the poor man is supposed to keep you fed?" Karla asked, shaking her head in sympathy. "I can understand his concern. You do eat an awful lot."

[momslilassassin]

Ben stuck his tongue out at her. "No, that's not it."

[glacial_queen]

"Really? I think it might be. Anything else you talk about is probably his way of taking his mind off the more pressing matter of filling your gullet," Karla retorted, sticking her tongue out right back.

"'Oh, someone really important and official has been murdered?'" she said in the closest she could get to a baritone. "'Thank the Dar--err, the Force. I was getting a headache trying to come up with dinner plans.'"

[momslilassassin]

He tossed a dinner roll at her.

[glacial_queen]

Karla caught it and took a bite, grinning smugly the entire time.
