Outside the dorms, Sunday morning

[likes_scoundrels]

Former princess and senator of Alderaan and rebel leader Leia Organa, now Sith Lady and representative of Coruscant in the newly reformed Imperial Senate, hadn't found any more answers about this place or a way to contact Lord Vader or the Emperor. She was determined to do so, however, and she fully intended to bring Skywalker's son with her as a present for her master.

In the meantime, at least, she'd found some cookies to nibble on. Chocolate, with dark chocolate chunks. Because when you embraced the Dark Side of the Force as she had, you always had cookies. It was one of the many, many perks.


[Err, mostly establishly because (a) I'm a GIANT DORK and (b) I'm about to head out of work and go home, where I may pass out for a nap because I was up 'til 3 AM coding the radio for all you crazy peoples. But if you're looking for Leia, feel free to ping and I'll get back to you. :)

ETA: Timing wise, the thread with Tahiri and Ben takes place last. Probably for soon to be obvious reasons.]

"Yeah." Tahiri summoned the lightsaber Leia had been using to her hand and looked at it, her expression unreadable, for a moment before hooking it to her belt. "Somewhere out of the way would be . . . the best idea."

She'd been about to say 'good,' but that sounded awful.

Ben waved his hand to move the branch away from his aunt. "And then I'll call Granddad."

A lot.

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri, already beginning to levitate Leia, nodded and gave him a quick, worried glance. "Sounds like a plan. Sometimes I hate having a plan."

[momslilassassin]

He ran his hand through his hair. "I hope this is temporary craziness," he said softly.

[weetuskenraider]

"It has to be," Tahiri said fiercely as she began to head for the shack. "It's Leia, there's no kriffing way . . ."

[momslilassassin]

Ben gave her a look that was far too old for his face. "I've used that argument for a couple of people before."

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri's shoulders slumped. "I know," she said quietly. That didn't mean she couldn't still hate it, right? "But from what she was saying, everything in her timeline must have gone completely different from ours. And this happened last year, too, with people just changing. It has to be temporary."

[momslilassassin]

"I hope so," Ben said, echoing her tone and reaching for her free hand. "I'm not sure how Granddad will react if it's not."

Yes, Ben, let's concentrate on what Anakin will think.
