Endor [Tuesday, December 30]

Luke, sadly for those who were not, was totally a morning person. As soon as the sun rose above the horizon, he was up, trying to get everyone ready for another day of hut building and bridge hanging.

There was breakfast and really awful strong coffee, and then the hike back to where they'd been working all of yesterday.

Luke would understand if people took breaks to explore today. Three solid days of manual labor is no vacation.

"So, you were gonna be pissed at me no matter what?" he clarified.

"Not at you," Jaina said. "Just pissed in general. I needed to work it out, I guess. Or argue and then start overthinking. Whichever."

"Which means you didn't need me there poking and wondering at you." Meaning he made it worse.

"No," she said. "The last thing I want is you censoring yourself because you think- wrongly, by the way- that it's making things worse. You know what, sometimes people say the wrong things. But your track record there's pretty good. And at any rate, you try."

"I guess," he shrugged, a little embarrassed and not intending to get her to boost his ego here or anything.

"Are we okay?" she asked. "Really."

Re: Relax back at the Ewok village!

"Should we not be?"

Re: Relax back at the Ewok village!

[solo_sword]

"I don't know," she admitted. "I didn't realize that was an issue." Which she kind of felt like an idiot about now.

"I didn't know it was either," he agreed. "I mean, I know I've been kinda forced to think a lot lately about what's coming and I'm kinda concerned."

Re: Relax back at the Ewok village!

[solo_sword]

"Concerned how?" She was almost afraid to ask.

Re: Relax back at the Ewok village!

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

He really hadn't expected to be talking about this at all ever. "You know."

Re: Relax back at the Ewok village!

[solo_sword]

"Pretend I don't." She actually didn't.

"That as soon as I make a decision that'll be that." He thought if he was vague enough it would be like he didn't have doubts.

Re: Relax back at the Ewok village!

[solo_sword]

"That doesn't have to be a bad thing," she pointed out.

"I don't see how." Given John's choices consisted of going to the college of his choice, the college of his family's choice, and getting disowned by joining the Air Force, he wasn't sure how any of this would leave things with them.

"I have faith in you to make whatever it is, work. That's how." Made sense to her.

Re: Relax back at the Ewok village!

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"So you want things to work out?" This is what he got for being vague.

Re: Relax back at the Ewok village!

[solo_sword]

She blinked a few times, a little surprised by that. "With us? Of course." She didn't even need to think about that.

Yesterday had gotten him worried about a write-off. "That's...good to hear," he actually smiled despite his dislike of intense conversations.

Re: Relax back at the Ewok village!

[solo_sword]

"I kind of don't even think about that part," Jaina said, now wondering if she should have been, oops. "I mean, it's going to suck. I know that. But if we're meant to work it out, then we're going to work it out."

"We seem to be suffering from role reversal here," John replied. "Isn't it my job to be the optimist?"

Re: Relax back at the Ewok village!

[solo_sword]

"Yes. But remember, I'm the realist," she nodded.

Re: Relax back at the Ewok village!

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"Well, that's an even better sign," John decided.

Re: Relax back at the Ewok village!

[solo_sword]

"See, trust me on this one," she said with a little smile.

Re: Relax back at the Ewok village!

[missed-the-gate.livejournal.com]

"What was that?" John asked, cupping his ear. "I couldn't hear you."
