Stark Industries [all day]

[momslilassassin]

Ben was back for his last shift at his job and was making the most of his time (and his last paycheck) by putting together a small mountain pile of electronics that he was going to take with him when he left.

You know, just in case he needed them in space with Ender.

He'd just started feeling a little bit maudlin about things coming to an end and how much he'd miss it here when kumquats rained down from the ceiling.

...maybe he wouldn't miss it all.

Glitches are fine, but if it doesnt get worked out soon Im coming after you. Dont test me on that because I will do it.

Shhh, Jaina was maybe a little protective of family these days.

[momslilassassin]

Love you too, J, Ben sent back. I'm not trying to lose track of family either.

Well, the ones that were still talking to him, anyway.

[solo_sword]

Good. I wish I could actually SEE you before you go. Bad timing.

[momslilassassin]

Yeah, I'll miss your hugs.

He could really use one, too.

[solo_sword]

They are pretty great. Get back to Fandom when you can. There'll be hugs for you there.

Best she could do, unfortunately.

[momslilassassin]

I will. You doing okay?

[solo_sword]

Ish. Ive been visiting Jag, then going back to teach for a while.

Seriously, honesty on this subject was still weird, and all she said was "ish."

[momslilassassin]

So I'll really just miss you:/

[solo_sword]

Yeah. Do you know when exactly you go?

[momslilassassin]

We leave here on Thursday. I think the ship takes off Friday.

[solo_sword]

The reply took a couple minutes as Jaina had to shuffle some things around.

Changed my portal. Youll get hugs in person.

[momslilassassin]

You're the best. Ice cream's on me.
