Office hours [most of the day]

[sith_happened]

Anakin was on his computer looking at different websites for flowers--there was a big anniversary coming up around homecoming and he wanted a corsage that would be absolutely perfect.

Or maybe more than a corsage.

Don't tell anyone, but he was a bit ridiculous about his wife.

The door was open.

The last time Jaina had seen Anakin they'd both been in the clinic, and for as much as she tried to ignore people these days, she couldn't make her attitude problem etend that far. Which was why she was at the door to his office, asking, "How are you doing?"

[sith_happened]

He smiled over at her and waved towards a chair. "Rory yelled, but that was to be expected. How are you?"

[solo_sword]

"Okay," she replied, and was really getting good at keeping her face from revealing any pain or discomfort that came with movements like sitting. "Healed up, ready to start back on my normal schedule." Mostly.

[sith_happened]

"So we should schedule a sparring match soon, then?" Anakin replied.

[solo_sword]

"Don't know yet," Jaina said. "Kyp's working on some things, hopefully I'll be taking a trip soon."

She wasn't nearly that hopeful. In reality, she knew there was no way she was up for that particular sparring session yet.

[sith_happened]

"Does he know you got banged around by someone a few weeks ago?" Anakin asked.

[solo_sword]

"It was still kind of obvious when I talked to him about it," she nodded. "He's weirdly protective, wouldn't let me do anything unless he was sure I was up for it."

[sith_happened]

"There's nothing 'weirdly' about it," Anakin said. "He's a Jedi in who is training you. He's not just a teacher, he's a protector. Or he should be."

[solo_sword]

No, it really was 'weirdly'. "Either way, he doesn't let me get away with much," she told him.

[sith_happened]

"Good," Anakin replied. "Getting into a scrap when you're not fully healed is how you end up killed or missing important parts, like arms."

[solo_sword]

"Though I did manage to do a pretty good job of that while blind..." Jaina, shhh.

[sith_happened]

Anakin rolled his eyes. "And we should definitely tempt the Force like that."

[solo_sword]

"Relax," she told him. "And even if I did get into anything there, it'd be in an X-wing. I could handle that, broken ribs or not."

[sith_happened]

Anakin didn't know the meaning of "relax," sadly. "And gravity never pulls on ribs in atmosphere," he commented.

[solo_sword]

"I've had worse, trust me on this," she said. Myrkr had kind of done a lot for her pain tolerance. "And seriously, this is all hypothetical anyway."

[sith_happened]

Anakin nodded. "You realize that it doesn't reassure me to hear that you've had worse that this, right?"

[solo_sword]

"Doesn't make it less true," Jaina pointed out.

[sith_happened]

"I went over to the island the next day," he commented casually, "just to look around."

Big liar. That wasn't why he went.

[solo_sword]

"Creepy place," she said. "Get attacked by anyone?"

[sith_happened]

"The old headmistress," Anakin admitted sourly. "It took me another few hours of meditation before I could go home again."

[solo_sword]

Jaina frowned. "I was actually sort of joking. Umbridge was there?"

[sith_happened]

"With her stupid wand," Anakin muttered.

[solo_sword]

Her eyes narrowed a bit. "So when you get on my case about getting into a scrape while injured..."

[sith_happened]

"It's because I know how you think," Anakin tried.

[solo_sword]

Jaina didn't think that was true anymore, and really wished people would stop telling her things like that. "Yeah, your argument still lost a lot of steam there."
