Caritas - Friday evening [Open]

Jolee and Tino were stocking plenty of clean glasses behind the bar. This weekend meant family. Family meant drinking. It was a fact of life. It's part of the reason why Jolee never bothered with a family after breaking from the Jedi: he preferred sobriety.

The preparations ended when the door opened and Jolee felt an all-too familiar presence. "I'm sorry, Tino, but it looks like you're on your own tonight," he said, turning to face Revan. "We'll be in the lounge if you need me for anything."

[OOC: I'm totally cheating and making this a mod Tino night. As stated above, Jolee will be in the lounge if anyone wants to talk to him specifically.]

"I didn't mean to cause any trouble," Nancy said, resting a friendly hand on his shoulder. "But thanks, John. It'll be just like old times."

Jaina wasn't normally a jealous person, especially when she knew she had nothing to worry about.

But she really disliked this girl.

"No need for desperation, you can always stay in my room," Jaina told her, striving for pleasant. "You can have a bed and everything."

That wasn't Nancy's favorite of the solutions, but her response was all serenity. "Oh, no need to displace your roommate, sweetie. I'm sure I'll manage."

"Oh, it's okay, I can stay upstairs. I have no problem being displaced."

Jaina was ignoring Kyp next to her, holding a drink or his hand up in order to keep the others from seeing him trying tnot to laugh.

"It's very kind of you to offer, Jaina, was it?" Dave didn't really ask. "But, I think we'll all be happier if no one has to be inconvenienced."

"It's not an inconvenience, Dave," John was biting his lip against a fresh glare. "Let's just consider it nice to be surrounded by such friendly and accommodating women."

"Since that's settled," said Kyp once he was sure he wasn't smiling anymore, "did you two have any plans for the rest of the weekend?"

It would be wrong for him to have thoughts of watching whatever those plans were for entertainment, but he'd never been that good anyway.

"Well, I was hoping to take a tour of the school and the rest of the island," Dave replied. "And possibly meet some of John's teachers, if that's possible." If it sounded like he was checking up on his brother, that's because he was.

"I was planning on just hanging out with Johnny," Nancy added. "You know, catching up on old times and all that." She winked at Jaina to make sure she understood there was no harm intended.

There was a bright side here, which was that Jaina wasn't dwelling on Jacen a lot at the moment. "I'm afraid I can't let him be completely monopolized, though," Jaina said with the brightness that came with making up plans she didn't have before.

Later she'd kick herself for acting like an idiot, but that was later.

Disappointed that Jaina wasn't going to play fair, Nancy hung on John's shoulder and made a sad face. "Aww, you get our John all the time, I can't have him for just the one, tiny, little weekend?"

John didn't understand why Nancy was clinging to him like she was, especially considering his girlfriend was right there. "I did promise I'd stick with Jaina and Kyp," he managed, even if the excuse was weak and easily overruled.

"John," Dave sighed with vast, but unsurprised, disappointment. "Surely you can make time for one of your oldest friends who you haven't seen in well over a year?"

It wasn't that Kyp had any burning desire to spend time with Jaina's boyfriend, and he really had no vested interest in the little tug-of-war going on. He just also knew he really, really would not want to deal with Jaina all day tomorrow if John was spending the day with the touchy girl.

"It's all right, John," Kyp assured him. "I can keep Jaina busy for a while. There are slightly scarred colonels to talk to, after all."

Great, so while he was off entertaining Nancy who seemed to be on some clingy mission from his father, Jaina would be hanging out with Kyp and Scarface via holo. "We should meet up sometime after you do your duty stuff."

John turned to Nancy with a smile, remembering that they used to have fun exploring and maybe he could bring that spirit to the table. "I don't know how much of Fandom will interest you, but I'll do my best to give you the a true tour."

It was all she could hope for and she squeezed his arm in excitement. "Oh, we will and it'll be just like that time we got lost in Aspen! Minus the five feet of snow. And the Ketel One." Or just the snow, who knew.

"How fun," Jaina said, managing not to sulk as she patted John's knee. Later she might take that part as a victory.

Smiling weakly at his girlfriend, John signaled Tino for another drink. The night just kept getting longer.
