Stark Industries [all day Friday]

There was no point in trying to hide from his father--Luke would be able to find him anywhere on a planet, let alone an island as small as this one--so Ben decided to go to work for the day instead of heading for the afternoon picnic.

He'd head there later to run interference for Ender when Peter arrived, but right now, the fewer people Vestara had the chance to interact with, the happier Ben would be.

He was currently slightly grease-covered as he poked at a refrigerator for Warren's van, but he'd be happy to be of assistance!

If you weren't Sith, of course.

"Or if you want to check that I haven't sabotaged anything." Really, it was like Ben didn't trust her or something.

And no, she hadn't sabotaged anything. Even if she wanted to, she wasn't stupid enough to do something when she knew full well people would be looking for that sort of thing.

"If you did, the Shadow would sound an alarm and then explode," Ben told her, "and you'd be stuck here forever."

Horrible thought, that.

Luke gave him a "behave" look and fought the urge to rub the bridge of his nose. "I'm sure Vestara will do no such thing."

"I have no reason to," she said. "And I doubt the ship would actually explode. That would just cause more problems than solutions."

Ben made a face at her. Fine, be rational about things. Ugh. So annoying.

"It could just explode your quarters."

"Ben," Luke said, letting his voice show a little irritation. "Are you almost finished here, or would you prefer us to wander around by ourselves a bit?"

[identity profile] sithbangee.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 08:47 pm (UTC)(link)
"By ourselves?" Vestara repeated, maybe a little hopefully. She'd prefer to stay here, really, but if she had a chance to get away on her own for a bit without anyone wanting to keep an eye on her, she'd take it.

"Definitely not by yourself," Ben said quickly. "Besides, the squirrels see everything around here."

That didn't sound crazy. Really.

"That's a form of sentient rodent found here," Luke explained.

[identity profile] sithbangee.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
"And I'm supposed to care what rodents see?" she checked.

"You should because they work for the news," Ben said smugly, "so no trying to convert my friends to the Dark Side."

[identity profile] sithbangee.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Vestara rolled her eyes. "Believe it or not, I won't be doing that. Sith don't go around converting everyone, Ben. We have standards."

So, really, if anyone wanted to convert Ben, it was like a compliment.
momslilassassin: ([neg] bitch plz)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-09-30 09:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Ben rolled his eyes right back as Luke sighed and wandered over to look at some of the unfamiliar technology. "I've read about some of your Sith. Your standards aren't that high."

Wait. Had he just insulted himself?

[identity profile] sithbangee.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 09:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Only a little bit!

Vestara folded her arms. "And what exactly do you think is wrong with those standards?" she asked. She still wouldn't call Jacen Solo a Sith, so she was curious what Ben thought here.
momslilassassin: ([neg] can't meet your eyes)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-09-30 09:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Ben sputtered for a little while before realizing that "one of them looked like a giant talking chicken" wouldn't mean anything to Vestara.

"They're just wrong," he concluded lamely.

[identity profile] sithbangee.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 09:50 pm (UTC)(link)
"And with that stunning, irrefutable point you win the argument," Vestara said dryly. "It's not wrong."

Maybe they'd been over this before.

Ben blamed Karla's influence for his almost unholy need to reply with "so's your face," but he restrained himself.

"You haven't even met most of my friends," he said. "Maybe they'd make great Sith."

Wait.

"They wouldn't, though."

Dammit. How did he always end up sounding so kriffing stupid around her?

[identity profile] sithbangee.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 10:09 pm (UTC)(link)
"Are you trying to confuse me out of converting people I never had any intention of converting, or into it?" Vestara asked.
momslilassassin: ([neg] lipbiting)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-09-30 10:11 pm (UTC)(link)
There was another, slightly pained pause. "Yes?" Ben tried.

[identity profile] sithbangee.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 10:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Vestara smiled slightly. "Then you have nothing to worry about," she said vaguely, just to mess with him.
momslilassassin: ([neg] wow. you're dumb.)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-09-30 10:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't like you," Ben decided.

Because that was news.

[identity profile] sithbangee.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 10:37 pm (UTC)(link)
"That's too bad," she said, and meant it.
momslilassassin: ([neg] floppy hair intense)

"Yeah, I bet," Ben said dryly, standing up. "Let's go to the picnic."
