solo_sword | Mon Calamari- Monday evening Fandom time

Ordinarily, Jaina didn't bother celebrating her birthday. Hadn't in years. But when it turned out that everything on Mon Calamari had gotten settled and done with the day before it, Zekk had talked her into staying to have one day off. Always feeling guilty for taking time to visit Fandom, she'd argued at first, but when it came down to it, she was okay remembering this one. Because while it was impressive enough that she'd made it to thirty... if her math was right, this was her last year before things went to hell. Might as well enjoy it for a day.

It turned out to be a good thing, because it'd been a long time since Jaina had been anywhere in her galaxy just to visit. By the end of the day, when she'd returned to her room in the apartment she and Zekk had been given to use here, she was even in one of those rare good moods. Mostly because she wasn't letting herself think about that whole 'last possible good year' thing and was just going to busy herself with packing to leave tomorrow.

"I wasn't aware it was a competition," Tahiri laughed.

"It's not, but I've got a lot of jinxes under my belt already," Jaina smiled.

"Well." Tahiri dragged the word out deliberately. "I guess I can take one this time, in the spirit of cooperation."

"It can be my birthday present," she said helpfully.

Tahiri felt vaguely like she'd walked right into that one.

"In that case, happy birthday."

"Thank you," Jaina said. "And I'll probably end up jinxing myself again by the time I get back to Fandom anyway."

"Going back for a visit does always seem to be like asking for these things to happen," Tahiri noted. "I almost miss those things."

"When you start beginning to miss that, it's definitely a sign you need to go back," she decided.

"And appreciate all over again why I don't really miss it?" Tahiri asked dryly. "Or hope I happen to be there at the same time as you?"

"The second thing might lead to the first thing sometimes," Jaina pointed out. "Though I don't think I'll be back for a few weeks at least, Fandom time, if that helps."

"Duly noted. I don't think I'll be able to get away before around then, anyway," Tahiri agreed.

"Would you be aiming for any time in particular?" she wondered.

"Not really," Tahiri said with a shrug. "I hadn't been actively planning a visit anyhow."

"So pretty much whenever you get around to it?" Not that Jaina ever had to do that

"Basically. Making plans seems to be an invitation for something to come along and ruin them, anyway."

The whole jinxing thing, for one.

"True. I try to plan it when I can, though. Otherwise I think I'm likely to keep working and start skipping visits," she admitted.

And for obsessed with her job as she was, coming back and seeing people had become important enough to her to not want to end up forgetting to do it.

"Well, if you take the time to plan visits, I guess I can do the same," Tahiri decided.

Apparently Jaina was her role model now.

"Then you'll have to let me know when you decide to plan on going," Jaina said teasingly.

Tahiri snorted. "I promise, I'll keep you posted on when my vague ideas show signs of becoming concrete."

She would, though.

"Good. And if I get definite plans I will let you know in case that motivates you at all," she said.

"It might," Tahiri teased, then added more seriously, "No, really. It would be good to see you again."

"It really has been a while," she agreed. "And two and a half times as long for me."

"Two and a half?" Tahiri sighed. "I'm never, ever going to catch up to you, ever. Luckily I'm resigned to it."

"Do you really want to catch up to me? Really?" Jaina didn't want to catch up with her.

"No, I don't, really." Tahiri had to be honest about that; if Jaina was moving toward the stuff from Ben's timeline as she suspected, she didn't envy Jaina at all. "But the other me had better back you up if necessary, since I can't."
