The Perk, Sunday afternoon

[unusual_sith]

The day was nice, so after her library shift, Lana headed to the Perk to get some coffee and sit at a table enjoying the sunlight and breeze. Weather like this was one thing Fandom had over Dromund Kaas or Korriban.

Also, this week there were fewer things trying to kill her, which was a nice change.

So she'd just sit here, reading on her phone, having a calm and caffeinated day.

Alluka wasn't on the island for long--just a day trip, this time around--and she'd been making a beeline for Demon Marcus since that had always been Sparkle's day to work when she had to abruptly detour and bounce into the Perk.

"Papa!"

Hannibal smiled, stood, and held his arms out for a hug. "How are you, my dears? It's been far too long."

Alluka flung herself across the shop for that hug.

"We missed you!" she said, snuggling on in. "Lots and lots! We didn't think we'd be gone for so long!"

"And I missed you both as well. Come, sit with me, and I will get you a hot chocolate. You must tell me how you have been."

"Yes, Papa," she said obediently, though she grinned up at him. "Can, can I get a cookie too, Papa?"

"Of course you can," he assured her with a smile. "Chocolate chip?"

Re: Open coffee shop!

"Yes, please!"

Because Alluka and chocolate were a love story that would never die.

And Hannibal was a terrible, wonderful enabler.

He came back with a hot chocolate and a large chocolate-chunk cookie, then sat by her with his coffee. "Tell me all about what you've been up to, my dear. And how your sister is doing."

Just don't let Kathy find out!

"Nanika's really, really sleepy!" she said, beaming at him. "Because, because we're learning how to have powers of our own and having to be just-me and her be just-her makes her tired! Oh! But it doesn't hurt her, she and I made sure of that!"

"That sounds wonderful!" Hannibal beamed at her. "Do you mean that you're learning to be both of you together, then?"
