Aboard the Falcon [Wednesday afternoon, Fandom time]

The quarters were a little more cramped on the Falcon than they were on the Shadow, and the addition of two more people and a nexu cub was helping Ben feel a little caged in.

It wasn't helping that Luke hadn't called yet to let him know where to rendezvous to continue on with their mission. His father wasn't dead--Ben would have felt that--so Ben was trying to wait patiently for his comlink to go off, rather than calling and demanding to know what was going on.

After a few hours of staring at the comm and mentally demanding it to ring, Luke finally called in. The Sith had left the planet having captured most of the Nightsisters of Dathomir, but Luke had Vestara as his prisoner aboard the Shadow and was using her as collateral in his new pact with the Sith.

Ben's yelped "WHAT?!" at that news had echoed through the ship.

Luke's second bit of news--that the Sith claimed their young people were going through the same Force psychosis that had plagued the Jedi--was harder for Ben to believe, and the final piece--that Luke would prefer Ben head to Coruscant to warn the Council personally about the Sith rather than meet up with his father to head back into the Maw--was greeted with absolute silence, then a nod of acquiescence.

Ben was being left behind again. He was fine with that. Really. He curled up on his bunk after he wished Luke luck on his mission and stared at the wall.

See? Totally fine.

Ender had some work ahead of him, he accepted that. He cast a glance into their room, reached up, and rubbed at his hair. Then he stepped on through.

"Ben?"

And lo, there was a call that didn't involve something horrific happening in Fandom! Maybe.

Possibly.

Ender stopped a step into the door. "Bad news from Luke?"
endsthegame: (is investigating)

"I think I'd prefer Naboo," Ender said, watching him.

"Stark," Tony decided on after a moment. "But I'll let it slide this time. Didn't get eaten by the rancors?"

"And the fangs! I would figured it out if I hadn't gone crazy and tried to eat Mr. Rogers, though."

"I didn't think he was going to let us back in," Ender admitted. He finally stepped further into the room, and sat down at the edge of Ben's bunk.

"That also doesn't surprise me," Ender said, casting a look his way. "We are stopping by Naboo on the way. We could use a break."

He was careful not to let the big issues eat them before some concrete decisions could be made.

Yeah, you got used to this somehow. "It seemed like a good idea at the time."
endsthegame: (looking that way)

"Yes," Ender agreed.

They could figure out how long later.

He sighed, and slipped into the extra space Ben had made for him. "He's not thinking like a parent."

"Apparently this wasn't the first time it happened to him," Tony offered. And no, he wasn't going to think about how that was possible. "And did I mention I was going crazy at that point?"

Ender reached out and put a hand on his side. "True," he said, quietly. "That's why you had to engage him like a soldier requesting a mission to go along at all."

"I think he hit me with his shield a few times if that helps." Also, OW.

Even if the shield is awesome.
