Kanan's Warehouse, Friday Morning and Afternoon

It was an odd thing, to have his schedule shifted around somewhat through the week. Yesterday had been Kanan's class, for example. In two days, there would be his Luke's shift, and then, the three days to follow would be empty. Free for him to... take in the bar, or go to movie night or spend time with friends or to lean, hard, into the smallest beads of a rebellion back home.

And after the way his conversation with Hera had ended at the countdown on Monday night, he felt, perhaps, like he was going to need to put a lot more of his focus into mostly that last one.

Be a better rebel. Being a better Jedi was something that he'd have to put his efforts into while he was here, four days on, three days off again, give it his all while he could and then shove it down somewhere dark, with a disassembled lightsaber and a holocron that remained hidden away entirely and the Force only a distant thought belonging to a destroyed Order who people already spoke of in hushed tones, like figments of their imaginations, like legends of things that went bump in the night.

When he made his way to the warehouse today, he would spend his time waiting for people by clearing a place on the floor, sitting himself on it, and then meditating in the Force. And that meditation left the room looking faintly celestial as the glitter still left over from the girls' holiday decorating hung in the air around him. His eyes remained shut as the vague beginnings of something that could almost be mistaken for tiny galaxies in their own right emerged from the chaos, spiral arms reaching out as those specks of reflective dust found a lazy orbit in the currents of the Force.

He had arrived early today, having no classes in the morning. And until people arrived or reached out to him otherwise, this was going to be how he was content to spend hours.

"So are testicles to those of us who don't have to go around with 'em," Jack pointed out, "They just hang there all hairy and rotating like some sort of evil fucking biological lava lamp. This thing's just a toy that beeps."

Kaidan looked at the ceiling. That sure was an interesting ceiling right up there. All.. ceiling-like and capping off the top of the building. Yup. It sure was.

Jack looked between them and smirked, "Wait. Wait. So talking about the word for 'em's ok and you both sat there calm as pie trading words back and forth but the minute I call 'em horrifying and mention that whole rotating thing they do, you're both shying up on me? Come on! You have to have noticed they do that! Can't you feel it? I mean you have to feel them rolling around like that, right? Isn't that weird? I'd be a little ooked out if my junk was just moving on its own when it was hanging out alone in my underwear."

"We don't talk about this," Kaidan said to the ceiling, "This is in the guy handbook. It's universal. Guys do not talk about this. Sorry, can't answer you. It's a guy thing."

Jack rolled her eyes. "You two giant babies," she accused, "You each own a pair." A beat. "Well Kaidan only has the one pair and I'm assuming if Kanan had more than one he'd also use 'quad' so I'm going with the one pair for you too, ickle. How is this a thing that has you both blushing like virgins?"

"We're not blushing," Kaidan argued, "We're simply ignoring the thing we can't talk about. Topic's over, move on, next topic. Something not involving male genitalia, please."

Jack stared at Kanan. Narrowed her eyes, stared some more.

"He's not bullshitting you," Kaidan confirmed, "It's part of that whole 'don't have emotions, don't get attached' thing. Teenagers just meditate their way through the hormone years in the temple."

He wasn't kidding. He'd asked Kanan about that once and he was jealous as hell that it wasn't taught to every male ever born. There were definitely days he regretted getting the therapy she'd pushed him to get. He could use that icy numbness on occasion.

Jack snorted. "I bet. Just how long did it take before you realized you could do more with your dick than just poorly aim piss with it?"

There was no way he'd kept up that celibate thing. Eyes like that there was a zero percent chance someone hadn't found a way to drag him into a dark corner and remind him sex was a thing.

She reconsidered. It was possible everyone in his galaxy was stupid as hell but she'd give them the benefit of the doubt.

This time.

Kaidan manfully wasn't so much as emoting amusement. Mostly because he wasn't amused. "Jack.." It was more plea than warning.

Jack shot Kaidan a look and read his face. Remembered Kanan's panic attack when he'd become overwhelmed.

Switched her targets.

"Shit. That's not so bad. Kaidan has you beat there. It took Kaidan til he was in his 20s to realize he wasn't too ugly to fuck."

You're welcome, Kaidan.

Kaidan rolled his eyes. "Yeah, right, that's what the problem was. Jack, I love you, but shut the hell up."

Jack considered Kaidan's comment and shook her head, "Nah. The problem was totally you and your wacky trust issues with a side helping of some serious self-hate. Which I will kick right out of your brain if I have to do it with my damned foot." Said cheerfully and lovingly, yes.

Her glance went between the two boys uncertainly. This had been fun but she didn't want to intrude on Kaidan's sword and bonding time. "Probably. Dunno if it'll be on Friday but I'll catch you at Luke's for coffee after the damned rodents haul me out of bed."

She shrugged at him, "Then maybe. We'll see."

Commitment wasn't really a thing she did.

Except when she did.

Shut up.
