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

"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?"

[sith_happened]

He gave her a small smile. "I wasn't planning on asking. Just don't keep it anywhere overly noticeable."

[solo_sword]

"Maybe I should have gotten the dress with the pockets," she said. "You know, I didn't have to say things like that before coming here."

[sith_happened]

Anakin laughed. "No hold-out blaster under a skirt? Padmé had one."

Of course, she could have fit an entire Stormtrooper squad under some of those skirts...

[solo_sword]

"I've seen that clothing. That doesn't surprise me," she said. "Could wear long sleeves and a wrist-holster."

[sith_happened]

"Vibroblades work in waistbands, too," Anakin advised.

[solo_sword]

"A little messy for a wedding, don't you think?"

[sith_happened]

"Do you think better or worse than a lightsaber to cut cake?"

This was actually a consideration. Sigh.

[solo_sword]

"Better. But use a knife."
