Luke's, Sunday

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan was spending much of his morning just glowering at the Luke's staff.

They insisted they were doing this to be helpful, for his own good, but he suspected they were just being jerks in the wake of the whole tremens thing. That seemed to be their M.O., after all.

Today's Specials:
Coffee-Rubbed Cheeseburgers with Texas Barbecue Sauce
Coffee Jelly
Coffee Pancakes

Kanan sighed and shook his head. He was certain Summer would appreciate the jelly inspiration, but he was pretty sure he'd have to dive on the specials board to hide it if Kitty came in today.

"I believe someone owes me free pancakes."

And it looked like someone had moved onto the stage where she felt better about gloating, just a little bit, as long as it was a vague sort of gloating that didn't actually land too close to acknowledging exactly what she was gloating about.

Summer took a seat and side-eyed the specials board, mostly out of habit, because when had she ever ordered from the specials board except for maybe one or two times? "But not coffee pancakes," she said. "Blueberry. With chocolate chips. Are they seriously doing a coffee thing today?"

[uncertain_dume]

"They're seriously doing a coffee thing today," Kanan sighed, "but blueberry and chocolate chips are something we can do. I'll just shake the cook down until he makes it right. You want to try that coffee jelly? I'll throw that in for free, too."

[somethingwithturquoise]

"...jelly as in 'peanut butter and'," Summer asked, "or jelly as in starting to infringe on my territory and I may need to step back and have a stern talking-to with the staff about staying in their lane?"

[uncertain_dume]

"Ready your lecture," Kanan joked. "I think they're looking to fill the market now that you're taking off."

[somethingwithturquoise]

"Well," Summer murmured, leaning to the side slightly to ensure that her death glare was making it back to the kitchen, "considering how completely uninspired coffee jelly is, I think I'll be safe. I reserve my opinion until after I try it, which, of course, I have to, especially if you're tossing it in for free, too. I'll just have to keep upping my game while I'm home."

At least she figured half of what she created might be blamed on her grampa for keeping alien lifeforms in the kitchen fridge again.

[uncertain_dume]

"I will neither confirm nor deny that I've already tried it and it's pretty okay," Kanan said, holding his hands up, "but I think you could probably improve on whatever they have going on there."

Probably by adding peas or something.

[somethingwithturquoise]

Or at the very least marshmallows, which even made sense.

"I already have a few ideas," Summer admitted with a nod, "but I'm not saying anything, because I'm sure they'll steal them just as soon as I step out that door. Probably even before that while I'm still here."

And then there was a slight pause, where she sort of felt herself reach the end of her ability to banter about the kitchen staff stealing her jello empire, so she figured she'd just go ahead and ask then, tilting her head at Kanan slightly.

"How are you feeling, by the way?"

Party planning could only distract her from wondering to a certain point, after all.

[uncertain_dume]

"Better," Kanan replied. "More or less back to normal, I think. I was out training in the park on Friday, that seemed to go well enough."

He shrugged.

"Getting a little fed up with coffee, though."

[somethingwithturquoise]

"How much longer do you need to drink it?" As she asked, Summer tried to give him a good look-over without being too obvious about it, but, having seen him at his worse from the attack, she had to say, he definitely looked a whole heck of a lot better.

Not that it was hard to look better than how he had looked...

[throughaphase]

Too late.

“Oh, that’s just mean,” Kitty said, taking a seat.

[uncertain_dume]

"This is my fault, but not my idea," Kanan said, holding up his hands defensively. "They're mocking me, I think. You're an innocent bystander, this time."

[throughaphase]

“I thought we were all friends here!” Kitty called, mostly to the kitchen staff.

And then she said, “I don’t know what I’m basing that on except they make me pancakes all the time.”

[uncertain_dume]

"Well, they appreciate that you appreciate the pancakes," Kanan chuckled shaking his head. The cook yelled back something mostly incomprehensible from the kitchen, and Kanan answered that with a roll of his eyes. "They're terrible, but you get used to it."

[throughaphase]

“I’m sure you’d have to,” Kitty said. “How’re things?”

[uncertain_dume]

"Better," Kanan decided, shrugging. "I'm sure that'll change once I figure out which students are an aren't sticking around for the summer. Not that I'm bad at goodbyes or anything. Hell, I wasn't even teaching this last time around. But hell if these students don't make me worry."

He shrugged again, and then added, "How are things going with you?"

[throughaphase]

Kitty shrugged right back. “Going back to teaching for the summer, since the rest of the year’s been a wash there. Anyone I should be looking out for on the worrying front?”

[uncertain_dume]

"All of them," Kanan chuckled, shaking his head. "Which is exactly the sort of thing I'm supposed to avoid, I suppose, but knowing how good they all are at getting into trouble..."

He could have started a list, sure. Rey, Summer, Gratuity...

"So, what are you teaching?"

[what_the_shock]

And Miguel, blissfully oblivious of Kanan's coffee-sickness, grinned at the specials board.

"Looks like my kind of food. I'll have the burger. How've you been?"

[uncertain_dume]

"I had my soul eaten by a skinless monster," Kanan offered, smiling wryly. "But besides that, I can't really complain."

He wasn't going to go as far back as the 'also in some future somewhere, I'm super dead' part.

"You?"

[what_the_shock]

"Yeah, I heard. I...played baseball with skinless monsters. With them as balls, not players."

He shrugged. "In my defense, I had to get more than a little tipsy for the effects to last long enough to do any good. And the batter had a really big sword."

[uncertain_dume]

"Yeah, my first big mistake was apparently just drinking straight rum," Kanan replied rolling his eyes a little. "My second mistake was trying to shoot the sleemos instead of just getting the hell out of there. But it was over fast and I was lucky enough to get a rescue, so..."

He shrugged.

"There are better reasons to swear off drinking for a while, but that's the one the island gave me, so."

[what_the_shock]

"Just glad you're better," Miguel said. "Who could've thought something like that would happen, though?"

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan raised his eyebrows.

"Which part of it?"

Because around here?

[what_the_shock]

"Invincible monsters attacking people for drinking?" Miguel shrugged. "I mean, sure it's not the weirdest thing here, but it's not exactly the kind of thing you could've predicted, is it?"

[uncertain_dume]

"I mean..."

Look, Kanan was a Jedi. Maybe if he'd spent more time meditating and less time drinking...

He shrugged.

"Guess we'll never know, now."
