The Perk, Saturday Morning

[stykera]

Stark had plenty of cupcakes left over from yesterday so a stop at JGoB hadn't seemed necessary. A stop for cold coffee was always something of a necessity though. So Stark ordered a sugary frozen drink with caramel. He set it in front of him at an empty table while he scrolled through his phone looking up green cupcake recipes for next week.

Mint, for sure. Lime. He was just worried what might appear to go with the desired flavors. At least green wasn't likely to yield unexpected meat in the box. He hoped.

Cold coffee was definitely a perk of Earth, it's true.

Lana was coming in for something marshmallow-and-chocolatey and pondering the logistics (and wisdom) of importing s'mores to her galaxy.

"Good morning, Stark."

[stykera]

Chocolate in all forms should be spread to as many galaxies as possible. The same might hold true for s'mores.

"Good morning, Lana," Stark said, looking up and giving her a nod in return.

Could they stop the galactic war by supplying everyone with enough chocolate?

"How have you been?" she asked as she waited for her sugary goodness.

[stykera]

If only Stark had thought of that before getting thrown into the Peacekeeper War.

"I've been fine. Classes are going well, I think." Aside from the random horrifying ingredients. "And you?"

"I'm enjoying mine," Lana said. "I think it's going well, too. Especially when Master Skywalker actually participates. I'm beginning to wonder when the next crisis will hit, though; I don't remember Fandom being this quiet."

"Careful. The island might hear you," Stark said, looking around. "I don't think I knew Anakin was in your class."

"Maybe if it hears me, we can get it to give us problems on our own schedule," Lana said hopefully.

"He likes to make sure I'm not corrupting the students by telling them what my philosophy is," she said with an eyeroll very like the one Anakin had given her.

[stykera]

"I don't think it likes to give us what we want. I suppose it could happen?"

Stark paused to consider the rest of what she'd said. "You're not actually trying to corrupt them though, are you?"

Stranger things had happened.

"I'm not, no," Lana reassured him. "I'm just teaching what I know. And curious what they'll come up with; it makes me think."
