The nicest part of winter was how quickly the sun went down in the evenings--gave a vampire a lot more time to get things done before bleeding from the ears and eyes, catching fire, and dying, etc., etc.

Finally back from settling some accounts in Louisiana (and jacking up the prices at Fangtasia in preparation for the Mardi Gras crowds), Eric was back in Fandom, settled into his normal spot well away from the bar.

Vampires don't serve humans, thank you very much. That's what Tiny was for.

"I don't know you," Jaina greeted her.

It was like 'hello'!

Re: Tables!

[jedigrammarians]

"No, you don't," Aphra agreed, giving Jaina a bit of a more thorough look over than she had Cade. "But I'm happy to change that."

Aphra, no.

Not the reaction Jaina had thought she'd get, but hey. "I'm Jaina. Anakin's granddaughter."

Re: Tables!

[jedigrammarians]

"Huh, must've got the looks from the maternal line."

Aphra, why? Why were you like this?

Re: Tables!

[solo_sword]

"I'm telling him you said that," said Jaina. "Who are you?"

She was sort of afraid of the answer.

Re: Tables!

[jedigrammarians]

Hey, at least they were in different continuities?

"Aphra. Doctor Aphra."

Re: Tables!

[solo_sword]

That was her next question!

"And when are you from?"

Re: Tables!

[jedigrammarians]

"Earlier than you, since I'm pretty sure junior over there hasn't even gotten laid yet," she said, gesturing in Luke's direction.

Jaina was going to be so, so surprised that all of Aphra's interactions with Leia so far had involved getting punched, really.

"Oh, I haven't known you long enough to let you traumatize me like that," Jaina grimaced.

Look, Ben existed, so she knew that Luke had, at some point. Once.

Re: Tables!

[jedigrammarians]

"Sorry," Aphra didn't sound very sorry. "Forgot about parents causing that kind of trauma."

Look, her subconscious was very busy trying to keep herself from connecting some very dangerous dots (or at least from acknowledging she'd connected them), surprise twins hadn't even crossed her mind.

“Oh, he’s not my dad. Just... no,” Jaina explained.

Re: Tables!

The wheels started turning in Aphra's head, only for her to put the brakes on with a screech. "And it's probably time to change the subject now."

There worse people Jaina could be be telling this to, but Aphra knew some of those worse people and didn't particularly want to deal with them again.
