Office hours [all day]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was hard at work at his desk: plastic balls, lots of glitter, soft music playing...

Yes, he'd decided that Jaina's Luke's future child was going to be spoiled rotten, so he was back to making toys for a Force-sensitive infant.

He'd welcome an interruption, though.

All Over Again - Ronan Keating and Kate Rusby

Jaina came down to the office, greeting her grandfather with, "Hi, and if you've got any issues with singing day, can we get those over with now so we can get on with the normal conversation?"

Might as well put that out there now.

[sith_happened]

Anakin opened his mouth to complain--he sang at me...his hair's funny-looking...he's so annoying--and closed it again. "No issues."

[solo_sword]

She raised her eyebrows like she didn't exactly believe that. "You're sure?"

[sith_happened]

Anakin nodded. "Nothing new, anyway," he said. "It was just...set to music. And odd."

[solo_sword]

She'd been really worried she was going to have to defend her relationship, so she was much better with this. "I've never been so glad to have missed out on something," Jaina said. "So you sang, huh?"

[sith_happened]

Anakin nodded, cheeks flushing. "Only a little," he said defensively.

[solo_sword]

"I'm so sorry I missed it," she said, looking amused. Nevermind that she probably would have been singing, too. Not the point.

"I'm not," Anakin said with a rueful chuckle. "Rory was plenty entertained."

[solo_sword]

"Oh, I'm sure," she said. "And you, by the way, did not tell me the wedding was moved up."

[sith_happened]

"It happened really quickly," Anakin replied. "Rory's grandmother was planning this monstrosity of a wedding for us in June so we just...decided to move it sooner than that."

Beat.

"I don't think we've told her that yet."

[solo_sword]

"If she was planning a monstrosity of a wedding, I'd advise a sneak attack anyway," Jaina said thoughtfully.

[sith_happened]

Anakin grinned. "I'm good at planning sneak attacks, but the logistics of this are a little out of my expertise area."

[solo_sword]

"Nothing like learning on the fly," she grinned. "It just keeps things interesting." At least for this sort of thing, she supposed.

[sith_happened]

"Interesting is good," Anakin said, "and Rory has this thing organized like it's the defense of Coruscant."

[solo_sword]

"I hear she's good with that," she said, finally eyeing his desk. "Does that leave you with anything to actually do?"

[sith_happened]

"I got to pick out tuxedos," Anakin said. "Oh! And try cake."

[solo_sword]

"Oh, the important stuff," she said, and meant it.

[sith_happened]

"There's going to be a cake as tall as I am," Anakin said. "Rory was very specific about that."

[solo_sword]

Jaina was going to get teased so much for being shorter than the cake. "Is there a reason for that?"

[sith_happened]

"She really likes cake," Anakin replied. "I talked her out of a cake the size of me with her on my shoulders."

At least, he thought he had.

[solo_sword]

"Yeah, that would just be excessive," she said wryly. "Unless you want the guests in sugar comas by the end of the night."

[sith_happened]

He paused. "I wonder if there's any other food involved. Maybe I should ask."

[solo_sword]

"That would probably be a good idea," Jaina said with a smile. "At least so you can tell people when they ask. If they ask. I don't know if they do."

[sith_happened]

"I don't either," he admitted. "I didn't when John and Aeryn got married. I was more concerned with if weapons were allowed or not."

[solo_sword]

Good question, actually. "Will they be?"
