Outside 527- Sunday night
Jul. 12th, 2009 06:59 pmWhen Jaina arrived at Pride of Selonia over Esfandia, the Falcon and the relay base had been trapped by a Yuuzhan Vong attack. In contact with Leia and relaying what orders could be given from there, Jaina had found herself in charge. Of everything. There were others involved, but she brokered the deal with Grand Admiral Pellaeon of the Imperial Fleet to lend aid and to keep further problems from springing up if they'd not been included. He was willing to follow her recommendations. Others were following because she'd been the ranking Jedi. Pellaeon had even complimented her.
At the time, it had just seemed like the thing to do. But when it was over, and Esfandia had been saved, and Jaina was back on her way to Fandom on the shuttle, okay, she had to allow herself to be a little pleased at that.
It was late when she returned to Fandom, and Jaina found herself trudging up five flights of stairs with her bag and still without a good deal of her equilibrium, feeling tired but oddly okay after a trip home. She automatically headed down the hall... and realized once she'd gotten there that she couldn't just go right into 527 like she normally would when she came back alone.
She immediately started looking for squirrels. No one had seen that, right? She didn't have to knock on Tahiri's door to say hi just to save face? Actually, she thought, she was going to have to do just that, but not for that reason, and not tonight.
Instead, she turned back to go back down to the- They were still in the cabins, weren't they? Cursing internally, Jaina decided she was spending the night in 313, and was blaming all this on the speeder bike crash. Yes, the crash. It had been a really rough trip, all right? Tomorrow she'd have her act more together.
[Establishy and the book catchup from hell is done. And largely summarized.]
