Goodvalor's Little Bivoli, Wednesday

Gigi was still on roller skates (to fit the mood of Pleasantville) and, as it turned out, hospitality droids just weren't designed to do something like skate. As she stumbled around the restaurant while bringing dishes out, clearing tables, and such, Zayne had to keep careful watch and catch her a few times with the Force. He was starting to suspect that Gryph didn't really make the investment Zayne assumed he had with the droid. He probably got a good deal on a "quirky" model.

At least it kept him busy during the quieter business hours.

Today's Special:
Rokarian Dirt-Fish Fillet Sandwich

When he's not catching droids from long distance.

When Gigi isn't tripping on skates.

Okay, I think I can write off Tuesdays as days I'll remember to post. Let's go with Wednesdays.

Toby didn't know what the heck a Rokarian Dirt-Fish Fillet Sandwich was, but he had a little bit of cash on him so he figured, well, why not?

Unfortunately, as he got to the end of his meal and started scrounging around in his pockets for said cash, he discovered that it really was a little bit of cash. Not even close to the amount on the bill.

There really was only one thing to do in a situation like this. He waited until the robot-thing on skates was busy trying to clean up a spilled salt shaker, and then made a break for the door.

Having been a criminal for most of the last year, Zayne recognized the signs of a dine and dash. Namely, the running from the restaurant as fast as the diner could. That was a big clue.

Rather than chase the kid down, Zayne did what he obviously had to do. He reached out a hand and lifted it, using the Force to lift Toby off the ground.

Toby's eyes widened as he realised one very important fact. His feet were currently not touching the ground. That was not right.

"Gyah!" he said intelligently, flailing his arms around in an attempt to... possibly fling himself back to the ground. Or something.

"Even if you managed to get down, I'd just hold the door closed," Zayne pointed out. "And that would be even easier than this is." Admittedly, it wasn't that easy for Zayne to hold a flailing person in the air. But he was still able to do it.

It wasn't that Jaina was really hungry- for some reason she hadn't had an appetite lately- but there was a new place in town. It was mainly that there was a new place in town that she didn't know, which bothered her because it meant things were going on without her and that was just not okay by her, and she wanted to check it out.

And if she sensed someone familiar, well, it just meant she was going to be happier about the new-places-popping-up-while-she-was-gone thing.

Well, crap.

"You can't just hold me like this forever, though," Toby pointed out. At least, he hoped he couldn't...

"Welcome to Goodvalor's Little Bivoli," Zayne said when he heard someone walk in. When he realized who it was, he added, "And welcome back to Fandom!"

"No, but I can hold you until you tell me why you chose to skip paying for your meal," Zayne said.

"Did not expect to see you here," she said with a little smile. "What are you doing here, actually?"

"Owning a business, of course," Zayne said proudly. But that pride shrunk after a second. "Well, co-owning and managing. But my co-owner is only here in spirit and slightly larger than life-sized statue.

"You own- sorry, co-own and manage a restaurant," she corrected herself. "You've had a lot of careers so far, you know that?"

"It wasn't that I didn't want to," Toby tried. "It was just. I kinda- didn't actually check to see how much cash I had on me before I ordered. And then the food was made and it was too late and I couldn't just let it go to waste..." he trailed off, giving Zayne an uncertain look.

Zayne lowered lowered his hand, letting Toby drop safely. "You know, there are better options than trying to cheat a Jedi."

No, he wasn't technically a Jedi. But if Anakin was still teaching around here, he figured people would know what that meant.

"I just hope I never have to put together a resume. It would take days," Zayne said. "So what are you doing here? Just visiting?"

"What the heck's a Jedi?" Toby had to ask, because while he had taken a class with Anakin, the word didn't sound familiar.

"Anakin Skywalker still teaches here, doesn't he?" Zayne asked. "He must be slipping."

"Something like that. I'm here for a few days maybe. Thought I'd check out what's new," she replied. "How long have you been back here?"

"Skywalker?" Toby echoed. "Oh, yeah. The guy who teaches Not-Dying. I don't remember it ever coming up?"

"Only a couple weeks. After everything that happened back home, I figured it would be nice to come back here for a while and relax," Zayne said. "So of course I got here right when people started turning into monsters."

"I'm kind of amazed. Long story short, we can levitate things and do other impressive things with our minds. And we get laser swords and are trained how to use them," Zayne said, pulling his lightsaber off his belt and putting it down on a table. "So keep that in mind when I offer you a much better way to pay back your meal."

"Yeah, I heard about that," she said, frowning. "Tails?"

"None for me. I got infected late enough that I just had some gray skin," Zayne said. "It was a nice welcome back for me."
