Skywalker Apartment [Tuesday evening]

[sith_happened]

Anakin, it should be noted, was not nervous about the potential disaster that might be walking to his door any minute now.

It was just a family dinner, all right? Leia, Jaina, and Ben.

And John and Tahiri.

And Rory and Juliet.

And five different galactic timelines to keep straight.

What's to worry about?

There was a ton of food and enough rum to blind a pirate drink. It would be a very pleasant evening.

And if he had to mindwhammy each and every one of them to have that happen, well, don't think it wasn't crossing his mind.

Arriving!

What? Of course there's OCD.

Rory didn't have to arrive, as she lived there and all, but she did come out of the nursery with Juliet in a cute little light blue dress. (Rory, incidentally, matched.) "Do we look okay?"

"You both look beautiful," Anakin said, yanking a little nervously at the collar of his non-Jedi shirt. "This will be fine, right? I'm not inadvertently doing an impression of your grandfather at a Friday night dinner?"

"Are you going to add a bowtie?" Rory wondered as Juliet tugged on her hair.

Leia was perfectly calm and composed, the benefit of being able to slip into princess mode, as she arrived. She did, however, have a present for Juliet -- she'd had Winter send her one of her old laserballs. Because her aunts kept everything.

Anakin tilted his head and smiled, then walked to the door and opened it. "You made it!"

You live in Georgetown, Anakin, not a forest moon.

"The taxi driver was able to find your home without any problem," Leia said, glancing around. Nope, still not nervous.

Re: Arriving!

Once Leia had been greeted by Anakin, Rory shyly insinuated herself into the room, Juliet on her hip. "Hi there!"

Re: Arriving!

[likes_scoundrels]

"Hello," Leia said diplomatically, but smiling. "You must be Rory. And Juliet." And she'd totally been expecting someone older than Rory.

This couldn't be more nerve-wracking than her Concepts of Justice midterm, right? Right.

Tahiri wasn't fidgeting at all. Really.

And neither was Ben, next to her on the stoop since this was a better option than talking to myself.

"Last chance to make a run for it," he murmured.

Jaina arrived with John, and she was trying today. She seemed to have a lot going on this week, but she was here and making every effort to be a good relative. ...Who was mentally taking bets on who might be the first person to blow up about something.

"Remember, no flicking people with your mind, it'll only escalate to choking," John reminded her quietly. He was clearly far too amused by the idea of a Skywalker family reunion, even if it'd have been cooler with Luke.

Dinner!

[sith_happened]

And possibly a mad race to the table to not sit near Anakin...

Re: Dinner!

[momslilassassin]

Ben found a seat and stopped himself from asking if they were having spiceloaf. Maybe this Aunt Leia was going to be a better cook?

"Smells good," he said instead.

Re: Dinner!

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri, free of any spiceloaf-related concerns since she hadn't been subjected to it yet, managed to get a seat next to Ben and made a concerted effort not to scoot her chair closer to his.

She kept sneaking glances Juliet's way; every time she thought she'd gotten used to the timeline insanity of the Fandom Skywalker-Solo family, something came along to remind her she hadn't. Like Ben's tiny baby aunt.

Ow.

John was the victor of a seat by Anakin. It was fitting, given they appeared so similar in age and had such a great relationship.

"Great to have a home-cooked meal for once," he said, looking forward to real food that he had hopes of recognizing for once.

Re: Dinner!

[sith_happened]

"Mostly rations back where you are?" Anakin asked, glancing over from where Juliet was happily banging a spoon on her high chair.

Re: Dinner!

[auroryborealis.livejournal.com]

Rory snagged the other seat by Anakin, positioning Juliet's highchair between them. Equal-opportunity baby time, that way.

"Anyone need anything to drink?" she asked, not adding 'Don't worry, I'm not carding' but hoping the under-21 set got it anyway.

Re: Dinner!

[solo_sword]

"I'll take whatever you've got," Jaina said, with a look of unspoken 'and spike it, please.' She was months over twenty-one, after all.

Re: Dinner!

[momslilassassin]

"Water is fine," Ben said with a shy smile.

Re: Dinner!

[solo_sword]

Jaina would probably be paying more attention to the conversations around her (she had not ended up in jail, thank you) if it wasn't for the fact that she kept looking over at Juliet through dinner. Brain-breaky as she was, the kid was cute. Was it rude to make faces at her during dinner?

Re: Dinner!

[likes_scoundrels]

Leia finally tore herself away from pretty boys on ice to remember to ping in this thread was doing a lot of watching over dinner, curious to see how everyone got along with one another.

Re: Dinner!

[momslilassassin]

Ben gave her a smile and handed her the bread basket. "Doing okay?" he checked.

OOC
