Luke's, Sunday

[uncertain_dume]

"Nghhnnnghn." Kanan leaned forward and kind of mashed his face into the counter at Luke's. "Hngh."

He'd had a little too much to drink last night at Peter's, and then after three hours and fifteen minutes of Titanic hell, he'd sort of staggered back to his own apartment and had some more. Now he wasn't completely sure if he was hung over or still at least a little bit drunk, but whatever it was he didn't like it, and he didn't actually want to be here today.

"So," Cookie said, wandering out of the kitchen for a moment to set a card down in front of him, "I guess this is a bad time to give you this?"

Kanan looked balefully at the cook, and then reached for the card. Squinted at it. Blinked and then leaned in to squint closer. At first glance it looked like all the rest of the Christmas cards that were littering the streets today, but this one clearly featured a picture of an elderly Sullustan woman sitting in a garden, a light dusting of snow around her, next to a large, rather lovely tree. He opened it up and smiled a little at the note, from Zaluna, talking about how she loved her new home, the quiet life she'd been given, and hoped that wherever they had gone, Hera was still keeping him in line. It was addressed to the both of them.

"Nah," he said, after reading it over a few more times. "It's never a bad time for this."

It wasn't that long before he was grumbling into the countertop again, mind. Were there any more cards waiting for him in there?

Hey, now. Kanan was human. He knew plenty about human biology. The 'being into a Twi'lek woman' thing was relatively new, here.

"... But would I be stuck as a woman with a hangover?"

Look, it was that bad, Summer. He was tempted.

"Hey," Summer held up her hands, one of which was still holding the package of pills, as she was still trying to read the tiny fine print, "I'm no doctor. Or a Fandom weirdness expert. But there are worse things to be."

So she leaned in and flipped the package in her hand to hold it out to him. "Knock yourself out. How much worse could it get, right?"

Oh, but it could get a lot worse, since diuretics weren't exactly known for being the best for dehydration and what not. Good thing Summer had washed her hands of all responsibility thanks to the infallible Not-A-Doctor Clause.

Kanan was quiet for a long moment before reaching for the package, and then squinting at it and reading it over. Once. Twice.

"To hell with it."

He was taking two. He was going to regret it later, but he was absolutely taking two now.

"Yeah!" Summer cheered a little, then remembered that loud noises weren't exactly the best things for BDG right now and shrunk down, hunching her shoulders and whispered, "Yeah! That's the spirit."

"Seriously, though, drink more water."

"Nnngh," Kanan replied, because that was the best reply for that loud noise. The. Best. Reply. He waved his hand around until he found a cup, and then kind of flopped in the direction of the tap. He wasn't swallowing these things dry when his mouth felt like a Hutt's underside had crept through it, anyway. "More water. Right away."

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Sorry," Summer whispered again in response to that reaction. "Man. You really did yourself in, didn't you? What was the occasion?"

People didn't get to this point without something to celebrate or something to forget, that much she knew. In this case, she really hoped it was a celebration, because, seriously, there was too much of the other one from the adults in her life as it was.

"Unexpected movie night with..." Kanan sighed and shook his head. "Someone who said some ugly things and stood by them. Took me back to something just as ugly. I shouldn't let it get to me, but sometimes I still slip."
