The park- Wednesday morning

[solo_sword]

Between the Force and Fandom being Fandom, Jaina knew that if something told her to come back, she should come back. Jag was gone on a diplomatic trip that she had absolutely not wanted to go on, and by now he knew that if she said she had to do something, trust it. Getting a portal had been relatively painless, which was good because the boys were too young to see their mom murder anybody, and then it was time to come back.

Jaina has stopped off at the Perk for coffee and then headed to the park to let them run around for a while, and well, one was. Dax was curled up on the bench next to her, while Daniel kept worrying her by trying to toddle over by the ducks no matter how many times she told him no. They kept walking away, and Jaina could intervene without needing to move, but she was trying not to be overprotective if there wasn't a problem. So she'd just keep a careful eye on things and let it distract her from everything else.

"How old were you when you were kidnapped the first time?" Anakin checked, already scanning the park for threats.

[solo_sword]

"Uhhh." She paused, having to think about it. "First attempted kidnapping we were I think a few days old? I think the first time it took I was five? But we have better security now."

And Jaina was scary.

"Good," Anakin said. "I still have a highly weaponized nanny droid just in case."

"Thanks. We're trying not to go that route, though. We're trying to keep them with us as much as possible." She'd come to terms with how she'd grown up, but she still very much didn't want to perpetuate it. "And I'm pretty sure I could take a weaponized nanny droid."

"Oh, me too," Anakin said, "but most people trying to take the kids aren't, and it buys me some time to come back and kill them."

He shrugged. "Or maim them. Something."

"Oh, no, killing's entirely justified there," Jaina assured him.

And her answer there was immediate, too.
