Devil's Nest [Friday night]

[texted3times]

Eric was in his norml dark corner, Tiny was behind the counter, and the DJ had decided to break out the very best of death metal tonight.

Apparently he felt it was Easter-y?

Welcome to the Devil's Nest!

By the time she'd even landed on Corellia (again) Jaina figured it was too late to start running Luke's squadron ragged, and that would just have to wait till tomorrow. So on her way out of the hangar to find her quarters, she took a picture of the X-wings in the hangar and sent it to Eric, in case he appreciated it.

I think you have dirt from here already. Do I send more?

[texted3times]

SEND THE SHIP INSTEAD.

Well nothing could go wrong with that idea...

[solo_sword]

Okay, whatever happened with what was going on now, she decided right here and now she was keeping Eric around just for reactions like that.

That would get me in just a little trouble with the military...

[texted3times]

TELL THEM I CAN PAY FOR IT

This was probably not true.

[solo_sword]

So should I call you next time I crash a ship and need it replaced...?

[texted3times]

How about you dont crash a ship instead?

Eric thought that was pretty reasonable.

[solo_sword]

Hey, easier said than done sometimes.

Which reminded her that she was probably pretty rusty when it came to battle and she really needed to get practice in. Maybe a lot of it.

[texted3times]

Try harder, Eric decided.

Hows home? he added.

[solo_sword]

Complicated. We seem to be in the early stages of war. Fun stuff.

Which she decided was easier to say to him than it would be a lot of people, because when she said that to Ben or Tahiri or her grandfather, they'd probably know where she'd hit in the timeline.

[texted3times]

In that case, I insist on the 'no crashing' thing, Eric decided.

You on the right side of the war?

[solo_sword]

Everyone thinks their side is the right one. I think Im on the bigger side of it.

[texted3times]

That definitely helps. Whats the fight about?

[solo_sword]

Dads homeworld trying to secede from the GA. Delegation got attacked, negotiations broke down.

Did anyone else have to explain things like this over text?

[texted3times]

Probably not, no.

Who attacked the delegation?

[solo_sword]

Still figuring that out. Someone who actually wants to go to war.

And then,

Im in charge of my uncles squadron while they work on that stuff.

[texted3times]

Im sure he wont miss one little ship....

He grinned, then tacked on:

Congrats, too, of course.

[solo_sword]

Thanks. Its temporary. And I still cant send the ship.

[texted3times]

Kind of like to see the look on the mail delivery guys face if you did.

[solo_sword]

And imagine the shipping costs.

[texted3times]

Customs charges...

[solo_sword]

See, more trouble than its worth.

She actually thought that might work.

[texted3times]

Can I borrow yours the next time I visit?

No, Jaina. The answer is no.

[solo_sword]

The answer was so very no.

No. You dont even know how to fly it and I need it.

[texted3times]

I know how to fly!

Not in a ship, Eric.

[solo_sword]

And just how many hours have you clocked in an Xwing?
