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.]

"No," he said quickly, leaning in to try distracting her with a kiss. He was just aware that he could never really be the guy to complete anyone's picture. Especially hers, knowing what he did.

"Nothing wrong," he replied easily, "just unexpected."

"Uh, not so much." He wasn't looking for her to repeat it, nor did he expect any sort of explanation, it was simple fact.

"It's not exactly anything I'd ever expected to hear," he shrugged, not thinking it was anything that required apology.

Before was a long time ago, and it had been packed with bunches of different issues altogether. "Now," he agreed, "and that's what matters, right?" Living in the now was key.

"Does it count as Christmas if we're here?" John wondered.

Last John had heard, he thought that planet had been set on fire. Weird. "Life Day sounds like there's meditation involved," he said, making a face.

"So, hairy guys without pants celebrating together. Sounds thrilling." Oh John.

Yeah, like he was buying that. "I'm not asking what they do with the robes."

"They don't wear much of anything the rest of the time," he pointed out, "so it's kinda kinky." It would be the equivalent of humans going around naked for a ceremony.

"What, not a fan of kinky?" He should probably just stop talking.

"Hey, things can change," he pointed out. "Maybe if you'd been the one seven years ahead you'd see things differently." Yes, and hooked up with Lowie.

"Hmm, both," John decided, thinking one might get him someplace and the other was funny so both were needed.
