Ossus- Thursday Fandom time

Christmas 2008 had been spent aboard Ralroost, waiting as John healed up from being impaled during a mission. Since then there'd been a couple more Christmases, to the point that Jaina had absolutely no problem taking some time to go home. The new Jedi Academy was barely at the beginning stages of being built, she had potential mission stuff to talk over with Luke, and she hadn't gotten to spend hardly any time at all with tiny Ben before coming back to Fandom last time. Holidays were supposed to be about family, and she was all about that this year.

And getting to bring John with her was an unexpected bonus. Her family had to be wtfing at her when she left a room, but that was fine. She knew it was confusing. There was happiness going on here, that's what counted.

After spending some time with everyone, Jaina led John back to the room (Han, being the type of dad he was, had insisted on them having two separate rooms, and Jaina had said fine and then completely disregarded this), asking, "Is it weird to be back here?"

[NFB for distance, SP is a yay, and for that guy she showed up with.]

"Might be a little weirder for your folks," he pointed out. As long as it had been since he'd been in a galaxy far, far away, John was prepared to show he was a pro.

Because the whole story would paint John in such a great light. "Sure, though I get the feeling he'd prefer if you'd brought someone else, or maybe come alone."

"Yes, because he was so loose with me before," John replied, smiling a little down at her.

"You are kinda little," John agreed, taking her invitation to climb onto the bed sideways next to her. "Maybe there's something to that."

Something about her smacking his shoulder made him smile and lean back. It was a sort of victory in itself. "Should."

"True," John allowed, unable to stop smirking crookedly at her. "At three, Ben manages that pretty well."

John leaned forward to wrap his arms around her, which was made easier by her tinyness. "And in seven years we'll find someone else smaller than you."

He'd not meant anything by it, just the usual good-natured teasing that he never felt he got to do enough of with her.

"There's gotta be someone," he considered. "Maybe you'll discover a tiny alien race to tower over."

"Isn't that the rat kid?" John checked, not so great at remembering things like what to call the Chandra-Fan. "I was thinking more midget humanoids."

"Hey, I never offered her any cheese, did I?" Despite really, really wanting to.

"Turn you abusive?" John asked, seeming confused by these words.

"Oh, that! It's okay, I've gotten used to it," he teased, flinching at the thwap.

His raised eyebrow was certainly interested. "What would the new method entail?"
