The Perk- Thursday afternoon

[solo_sword]

Jaina had showed up yesterday just to check in on things and ended up getting called on to get gross. Today she was not gross, and just trying to get some coffee.

Of course the barista had apparently suffered from a gremlin bite, and was trying to serve her while acting like a storybook princess who needed "latte" defined for her.

Jaina still hadn't gotten a drink yet, and was wondering if you could mind trick someone out of a gremlin bite.

"Hello," Anakin said, giving the barista a curious look as he sat down. "Do I want to know what's going on over there?"

[solo_sword]

"She's a princess," Jaina said, and it was probably not possible to sound more sarcastic about it.

[sith_happened]

Anakin burst out laughing. "Sure she is."

[solo_sword]

Jaina gestured widely to the barista. "You try ordering a drink then," she challenged.

The barista curtsied.

[sith_happened]

"It has to be from her?" Anakin whined.

[solo_sword]

"The others think it's funny." she said.

[sith_happened]

"Well, it was a little funny, but now I want coffee," Anakin said. "At least she's not a singing shark?"

[solo_sword]

"I'd trust that much less," Jaina admitted. "Fins."

[sith_happened]

"Jaunty, mind-numbing song," Anakin added.

[solo_sword]

"Speaking from experience?"

Just a guess.

[sith_happened]

"Of course not," Anakin blatently lied.

[solo_sword]

"Yeah, a gremlin would never bite you," Jaina nodded.

[sith_happened]

"They fear me," Anakin agreed, nodding.

They did not.

[solo_sword]

Jaina was over here, just smirking.

Smirking so much.

[sith_happened]

"Just for that, I'm not getting you a coffee," Anakin fake-threatened.

[solo_sword]

"At this rate I'm going to hop the counter and get one myself," Jaina pointed out.

[sith_happened]

"I'll cover you," Anakin said.

[solo_sword]

Jaina turned to the barista and waved her back. "Move it, princess."

And then she hopped the counter and asked Anakin, "What do you want?"

Unless it was black coffee, it would probably be terrible.

[sith_happened]

Anakin made bad choices, so, "Latte?"

[solo_sword]

"That's milk in it, right?" she asked, finding the container.

[sith_happened]

"The foamy kinds, yes," Anakin said, setting Jaina up for failure.

[solo_sword]

Jaina nodded.

She poured milk in after the coffee, put a lid on, then put in a little stopper and, holding the lid carefully, shook it vigorously.

Then she handed it over. "I'm not a professional."

[sith_happened]

"Good thing you have that Jedi Master Empress thing to fall back on," Anakin agreed.

[solo_sword]

"Being a barista might pay better," Jaina said, pouring herself a coffee. "Hi."

[sith_happened]

"Hi," Anakin said, grinning. "Did you have fun yesterday?"
