you can call me great one

Jaina was actually trying to go to bed early for her, knowing she'd been pushing herself with work and training and wanting to be ready for her trip. She'd been worried that having the puppies around would interfere, but they'd go running with her and play by themselves whenever she had to train or make calls. It was almost too bad they couldn't stay forever, they were astral.

While 'going to bed' had been easy enough, 'going to sleep' had not. This was due mostly to a tiny golden retriever who couldn't seem to get comfortable. While Cappie was completely asleep at the foot of the bed (there was plenty of room, since Jaina's feet didn't reach the end of the mattress), Sparky kept getting up and walking to find somewhere better.

"Make up your mind," Jaina told him.

The puppy decided to take that as a hint, nudging her arm with his nose till she moved it, and then he promptly cuddled up to her side. And then nudged her hand, because he wanted to be pet to sleep.

Okay, it was no bunny snore, but that was pretty damn cute.


[NFI. The puppies are gone tomorrow, I had to do something with them.]

May was turning out to be Jaina's most bizarre month ever. After fun with baggage yesterday, today she woke up to something licking her face. To her surprise, she now had two small, adorable puppies bounding all over her bed, yipping cutely so she would wake up and play with them. After training it became clear that they weren't just students, or strays that had attached themselves to her. No, they were determined to stay with her at all times, never getting in her way, just being generally cute. And she had to admit, even though today was maybe only the second time she'd talked to Jag since the end of the war, there was something about the puppies trying to lick and nudge his little blue holographic form that had put a smile on her face, yes.

But that wasn't all. It seemed that no matter what the weather, even indoors, there was sunlight localized somewhere above Jaina, glinting off her hair and giving her a healthy glow. She had no idea what was going on, but at least it wasn't traumatic.

Currently she'd set the puppies, who she was calling Cappie and Sparky for the duration of however long they were stalking her, playing tug of war over an old boot, and sat in the living room of the cabin to watch with a sandwich and a soda. When she opened the soda, though, she was further surprised to see a rainbow sprout out of it.

Yeah, something was weird here.


[Um, so the spoilers that got Jaina grounded for four days? Were not only not that bad in context, but she deserves hugs. So as penance, just for the weekend, she is getting sunshine and puppies (who are just so very happy to see new friends) and every other nice thing I can think of.
Post is totally open, and yes, Jag needed puppies too but I can't send him one.]
