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.

Towards late afternoon, Luke, shadowed by a sulky teenager who wasn't his son, walked into the shop.

"Ben," he said, smiling warmly. "Hello."

The sulky teenager got at least a little less sulky when she got inside and saw Ben. So maybe she was genuinely glad to see him again.

"Did you miss us?" she greeted him.

"Not really," Ben said, making a little face at her and trying unsuccessfully to wipe the grease from his forehead. "Hi, Dad."

"It's still there," Luke offered, holding out a rag. "What are you fixing?"

[identity profile] sithbangee.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 06:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Vestara moved closer to get a better look. "It doesn't look hugely important," she said, either interested or maybe dismissive. It'd probably depend on what Ben's answer was.

Ben tried not to bristle too visibly. "It's for a friend's transport," he said. "I'm trying to add an alarm so that it goes off when his girlfriend tries to cook something."

[identity profile] notsoreckless.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 06:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Luke's eyebrows rose. "She can't be that terrible a cook, can she?"

A considerably annoyed and rumpled-looking Karla stalked into Stark's, trailed by a hugely smug Lucivar. "Look," she said. "A Ben. Go bother him for awhile."

That was a hello, Ben.

"Funny how Ben doesn't look like a skinny little alley cat left out in the rain," Lucivar said with a grin. "Maybe if you'd tell me why instead of dancing around, I wouldn't have to rumple you. In public."

Though he did look over and give Ben a wink. "Hello, boyo."
momslilassassin: ([pos] aren't I cute?)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-09-30 07:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Ben grinned at him. "Ho, Lucivar! It's been a long time." He turned to Karla. "How public was the public rumpling?"

Peggy had spent time at the picnic, but Howard hadn't been there - and after half an hour, she supposed she should have expected that. It took her some time to find the building in question, despite the address she'd gotten.

Now, she was standing outside of it. It was empty - whoever was staffing it was not there right now - but it didn't stop her from walking up to the door and knocking.

"It might be easier to tell her to stop," Vestara suggested. Logically.

She did find Ben's project more impressive, though. Either that or his friend's girlfriend's cooking.
momslilassassin: ([pos] adorable smile)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-09-30 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
"Oh, she doesn't know how to take a hint like that," Ben said, giving Vestara a completely insincere grin.

And no, he wouldn't tell her Karla's name. Maybe she'd get offered a cookie!

Ben was so very petty.

"So this is where you work," Luke said, seizing on the chance to change the subject. "It reminds me a bit of my room when I was a teenager--full of bits of interesting machinery." He smiled. "A bit like yours on the Shadow, for that matter. I landed it in the junk yard if you want to poke through and make sure I sent you everything you wanted."

[identity profile] sithbangee.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
"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.

[identity profile] notsoreckless.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 08:21 pm (UTC)(link)
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."

[identity profile] sithbangee.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"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."

[identity profile] notsoreckless.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
"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.
momslilassassin: ([neg] death glare)

[personal profile] momslilassassin 2011-09-30 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Definitely not by yourself," Ben said quickly. "Besides, the squirrels see everything around here."

That didn't sound crazy. Really.

[identity profile] notsoreckless.livejournal.com 2011-09-30 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
"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."
