Aboard the Jade Shadow [Sunday, Fandom time]

[momslilassassin]

It had taken a few days to break free of the Kathol Rift, but the minute the ship cleared the interference, Ben had his comlink out to make a few long-needed calls back to various galaxies.

Ender and his dad had been good to talk to--or not talk to--but he needed to reconnect with some others, too--especially Jaina.

[OOC: If you think you got a call, you did! Ping on back!]

"If it helps, I would bet you guys are having more fun..." she said, thinking of what Coruscant must be like right now.

[momslilassassin]

"Being stuck in holes and licked by rocks...you know, you're probably right," Ben admitted.

[solo_sword]

"Well, wait, who's in charge with Luke gone?" That really determined the level of not fun.

[momslilassassin]

Ben snickered. "Try to guess."

[solo_sword]

"I would have said Kyp or Corran but now I'm scared," Jaina admitted.

[momslilassassin]

"Wrong on both guesses," Ben said. "Think someone Daala would like. You know, if she liked anyone."

[solo_sword]

"Hold up. Daala?" First things first here.

[momslilassassin]

"...oops?"

[solo_sword]

"Don't worry about it, I have way too much on my plate to worry about her, too," she decided quickly. "I'm guessing that means it's really not Kyp then, though."

[momslilassassin]

"It's kind of the anti-Kyp," Ben said.

[solo_sword]

Jaina had a feeling she knew who it might be now. "Then I'd definitely rather be getting licked by rocks, he wouldn't let me get away with anything."

[momslilassassin]

"Plus he's about as interesting as cardboard," Ben added uncharitably.

[solo_sword]

"I've heard that said about Jag, too. I think Jag needs apologies from those people now. I mean... I guess it could work," she said, trying to make herself buy that.

[momslilassassin]

"Cilghal doesn't say anything bad about him," Ben offered.

But then, Cilghal wouldn't.

[solo_sword]

"She's Cilghal," Jaina said. "He's been in charge of things before, I don't doubt he can do the job. I don't really have anything against him, but... with Daala?"

[momslilassassin]

"You're there and so's your mom," Ben said. "Hopefully we won't get played too badly."

[solo_sword]

She shook her head. "Did you ever guess boring negotiations would turn into this?"

[momslilassassin]

"Not even in my most bored, insane mental ramblings," Ben replied.

[solo_sword]

"You have bored, insane mental ramblings?" she said, going for light.

[momslilassassin]

"Doesn't everyone during pre-negotiation negotiations?" Ben asked.

[solo_sword]

"No. But then, I avoid the pre-negotiation negotiations whenever I can," she said. "Successfully."

Yeah, so far.

[momslilassassin]

"So far," Ben said.

[solo_sword]

She made a face. "Let's not dwell on that part, okay?"

[momslilassassin]

"That's one of the good things about being here," Ben said. "Not a lot of meetings."

[solo_sword]

"I'm jealous," she said. Not that she was around for many meetings right now. "And if any of you feel the need to start holding them, that would be a sign to get back to civilization immediately."
