Room 315, Monday Afternoon

[likes_scoundrels]

Leia had managed to finish unpacking, if by unpacking one meant shoving most of the gowns her aunts had sent with her under the bed. The more practical clothing was stowed in the closet, along with a few nicer outfits for when she actually wanted to dress up a little. Such as for dates. Of which she had two this week. She'd wasted no time in giving her relatives reasons flail.

At the moment, she was sprawled on her bed, wondering just what she was going to tell her father and Winter (the two totally got different levels of information -- Winter got to hear about the boy roommate and the shirtless boys, for instance) about this place and supposedly long dead Jedi Knights and daughters and nephews from the future. She really needed to get a hold of a student directory and see if she could track down Ben and find out exactly how he was supposed to be her nephew when she didn't have any siblings.

The door was open.

[ooc: door and post are open. Any OCD is under the bed trying to draw the Skywalker family tree.]

Ben made it easy by wandering past the door heading to see Jaina, didn't he?

He recognized Leia's Force-presence too late to turn around and flee without looking like a complete nerf-herder, so he ran his hand through his bright red hair and gave her a slightly nervous smile.

"Hi."

The office had probably put them in rooms side by side just for giggles, hadn't they?

Leia pushed herself up so that she was sitting on the bed. "Hello," she said with a friendly smile, wondering why he seemed so nervous. Maybe he was looking for Chuck and was surprised to see a girl.

[momslilassassin]

For a brief second, Ben wondered if he could bluff his way out of this mess. He could pretend to be someone else!

...and lie to Aunt Leia, and probably earn his father's Very Disappointed look.

"You're new," he said, smiling back. "Hi."

It wasn't lying! It was just...not offering any information.

[likes_scoundrels]

And he'd assuredly get a Bitch, Please look from said Aunt Leia when she found out who he was.

"I am," she said. "I'm Leia. And you are...?"

[momslilassassin]

And this was why, in general, Skywalkers weren't in charge of planning things. Ben hadn't thought of a way around introductions.

"Ben," he admitted, leaning in the doorway. "Jaina mentioned that you were here."

"Come in!" Leia said, pleased. "Tahiri told me all about you as well. You're my nephew."

She wasn't planning on letting Ben leave the room until she knew just how he was her nephew.

[momslilassassin]

"In a couple of realities," Ben hedged, nodding. "What did Tahiri say?"

[likes_scoundrels]

"She said I had a sibling I didn't know about," Leia said cagily. Well, it wasn't exactly the truth, but it had certainly been implied! "And that she would leave the explanation to you. She didn't think it was her place to tell me."

[momslilassassin]

"I'm not sure it's mine, either," Ben tried. "What if telling you now means that you don't meet when you're supposed to?"

[likes_scoundrels]

"I've already met my daughter from the future," Leia said, crossing her arms. "And she told me who her father is. Any nonsense about keeping timelines unchanged is already impossible."

[momslilassassin]

Ben's face settled into a stubborn expression very much like Leia's own. "What did she say?" he asked.

The training he'd gotten as an interrogator was coming in far too handy.

"She told me her father is Han Solo, who I've never met let alone heard of," Leia said. "And it's only a matter of time before I do know all there is to know about him."

[momslilassassin]

Ben snickered before he could bring himself back under control. She was just so...Leia.

"Maybe you can ask him, then," he said blandly.

He was really just going to get his ass kicked by his aunt if he kept this up, probably.

It wasn't that Jaina was trying to seek Leia out or anything, it was just that there was an open door right next door to her, and curiosity always won out before the new kids lost that new kid shine. Of course, who she found in there was not what she expected.

"Hi. Um. You live here?" Maybe she was just visiting.

Leia was still on the dazed side from finding out about her brother from Ben. She looked up at Jaina's voice. "I do," she said. "Are you on this floor, too?"

[solo_sword]

Jaina hitched a thumb in the general direction of 313. "Next door. Hi there, neighbor."

Wouldn't be awkward at alllll.

"Why am I not surprised?" Leia said. She hoped they weren't sharing a wall at least. "Do you have a roommate, too?" Meaning: was there a boy she'd have to give a stern talking to if her motherly instincts kicked in?

[solo_sword]

"Not anymore. She left a few months back," Jaina replied. "Do you?"

Because she was not above giving any boys a stern talking to because that was her mom.

"Chuck," Leia said. Despite the day she'd had, she couldn't help but grin. "I'm leaving that out when I talk to my father."

[solo_sword]

Two things about that: 1. Wow, was it hard to shift gears when she said "my father." 2. ...

"You're rooming with Chuck Bass?" This was said with no small amount of horror, especially given that John seemed to ship Chuck with her mother.

[likes_scoundrels]

"No, the other Chuck," Leia said, noting Jaina's reaction. Chuck Bass had to be really inappropriate -- which just made him more appealing. She decided not to mention her date with him that night, for now at least.

[solo_sword]

She let out a breath she hadn't realized she was holding. "Don't scare me like that. I'm supposed to be doing that to you."

...Yeah, this? With Leia being the one scaring Jaina? Was pretty much the way the rest of Jaina's life was going to go.

[likes_scoundrels]

"Is there something I should know about this Chuck Bass?" Leia asked. Innocently.

[solo_sword]

"He's a jackass," Jaina frowned. To be perfectly fair, this was mostly based on rumor and the fact that he was a jerk to her when she was seven. "I start to think he's okay right until he hits on me, and I don't need his diseases."

[likes_scoundrels]

"I'll keep that in mind," Leia said. No, no she wouldn't. "My roommate Chuck doesn't seem like that at all. He's sweet. And promised to make himself scarce whenever I needed the room to change."
