✧ Third Rebellion ✧ [Action/Text] - Post Luceti University

[borntorebel]

Action - Open to all on 9/13 and 9/14
[Since things at house 46 calmed down somewhat back in mid-July, Leia has settled into an easy, relaxed schedule. Well, relaxed by her standards. There were few deviations and distractions. Until the recent events of the entire enclosure turning into what appeared to be an university. In a way, she found the changes comforting. A happy family. Friends. Activities to keep her busy. Han.

But there are things about it that leave her unsettled still. How easily her mind was manipulated, for one. She finally understands on some level what Luke tried to explain to Han and herself when they were at Pagoda. It's not quite the same, not by a long shot, but to be given an opportunity where she and Anakin could get along without the baggage of their lives back home is like poking an open wound that she has been trying to steadily ignore.

She's gotten a little better at controlling the turmoil that her emotions normally cause by shoving it to an empty corner of her mind and pressing forward with things, but Leia knows that they'll have to be dealt with sooner rather than later. She's just not ready right this second to jump up and do that. So, instead of spending hours at the library or exploring the outer buildings of the enclosure, she's looking at the empty houses and apartment buildings. The rest of her schedule, she follows faithfully over the weekend. Until Sunday evening, when she has a few written messages to send out to some people before going home.]

Text to Sokka -
It was nice to finally meet you face-to-face, Sokka. If you'd like, I wouldn't mind sparring with you from time to time now that we are back to normal.

Text to Han -
When I get home tonight for dinner, can we talk in private first?

Text to Syre -
I find that after speaking to you for a week that I would like to get to actually know you. Are you available to meet me tomorrow morning? Also, are you skilled with fencing? I'd like to actively train in a sword art.

Text to Ami, Helios and Lee -
For the next week, can we suspend the cooking lessons? I have something else I have in mind for those times.

[No, there was no leaving family behind. Which... actually led to into her other question more naturally than it might seem.]

Not yet. I was hoping we might be able to do that together.

[Watching a holo with your partner is customary.]

[Action]

[borntorebel]

I tried to watch the second one that's supposed to be about us, but...I didn't get very far.

[You can only see yourself kissing your then-unknown twin brother so many times.]

I'd at least like to watch the first two tonight, if that's alright with you? I've asked Ami if she minded me cancelling our afternoon times. She doesn't.

Re: [Action]

[notsosolo]

How can I say no to an offer like that?

[He doesn't have nearly the schedule she does. And he'd be pretty willing to clear it for movie night anyway.]

[borntorebel]

Well, you could but it would be more than just a little silly. Besides, after the week we've just had...I think we can afford to be a tiny bit selfish.

[Which is Leia for "I want ti spend more time with you because you're the only person who makes sense right now."]

[notsosolo]

The world can spare us for an evening.

[He kisses her temple. He's not sure about much, but he's sure about her.]

[borntorebel]

Just an evening? I'm a little disappointed then.

[She turns her head to brush her lips against his lightly. She doesn't want to make it something sexual. Just a brief connection with Han.]

Well, I'm yours outside of training with Luke for the next week. If we don't drive each other insane first.

[notsosolo]

A week?

[He grins at her. THis is unheard of.]

A whole week?

[A lot more possibilities than just a few movies, in a week.]

[borntorebel]

[She laughs at his excitement, glad that she decided to do this. The shift really stressed to her what Luceti could do to their family on a whim. She still doesn't want to know what a shift could do if it made them not even know each other. That thought is...something she doesn't want to contemplate. Ever.]

Yes, a whole week, Han. I figured that there's nothing life or death going on around here just this second, so I could relax a little.

[But she's not stopping her training with Luke. That would just be dumb.]

[notsosolo]

I like the sound of that.

[She could do with relaxation. He worries about her, sometimes.]

Movies and then some.

[borntorebel]

[She'll be fine. Stop worrying, Han.]

And then some? Do you have something nefarious planned?

[notsosolo]

Some very nefarious cuddling.

[All that passion. No tenderness. They were overdo for cuddling.]

[borntorebel]

[She's used to the passion. She enjoys it, but she enjoys the times where they just lay together and talk or do nothing as well. Those were few and far in-between, even in Luceti.]

If your subordinates could hear you now... The famous General Solo, talking about cuddling with his wife. It's really very cute.

[notsosolo]

[His subordinates can hear all they want. He loves his wife.]</smalL. Cute. That's a change from scruffy.

[borntorebel]

[She runs a hand through his hair gently, giving him a teasing smile as she does so.]

Oh, you're still scruffy-looking. That much hasn't changed a bit.

[notsosolo]

You like scruffy now though.

[He can clean up. Pretty nicely. But without diplomatic events, scruff is his natural state.]

[borntorebel]

I liked it then, if you remember correctly. You were just a jerk.

[notsosolo]

I am so glad we got beyond that.

[borntorebel]

[She rolls her eyes and pulls away from him at that.]

The constant bickering or the fact that we involved Luke in it?

[notsosolo]

I don't know how anyone at Echo Base put up with us.

[borntorebel]

I heard a few people mention earplugs. And others were taking bets on how long we'd keep fighting before we caved.

[She might have overheard that and been a little angrier at Han for that too.. Whoops?]

[notsosolo]

I wonder if anyone actually won that bet...

[Nothing had really happened in a traditional manner, after all]

[borntorebel]

I'm not sure. I believe the next day was when the Empire attacked Echo Base.

[notsosolo]

I think that means all bets were off.

[Getting stuck in a space slug probably threw off everyone's calculations]

[borntorebel]

It's cute that you think something as mundane as an evacuation would keep Wes Janson and the other pilots from trying to bet on things.

[The space slug... She still has some interesting dreams about that incident.]

But, maybe I should let you get back to dinner so that we can have our movie night later.

[notsosolo]

Space slugs invalidate all bets. Well known pilot tradition.

[That he just made up]

Good idea. We have quite a few to get through.
