The Beach, Monday afternoon

After classes were over (or roughly, it wasn't like he kept track like some kind of creeper), he put on his favorite Hawaiian shirt from the Shenanigans--the Hot Dog Bigfoots--and headed down to the beach.

In a little while, there were four fires roaring merrily: three on different grills with a variety of meats, one sequestered just for pork products, and one for vegetarian options. Steve'd even sourced some fresh ahi again and was feeling particularly pleased with himself about that.

The fourth fire was a cute little bonfire with neatly stacked rejected Shenanigan shirts placed a safe distance from it, along with buckets of water and sand for fire safety (and because McGarrett had 100 percent been a Boy Scout).

There were coolers of drinks including one of beer with a sign--"If you are from the HS and take a beer at a cop party, you're dumber than we thought and are v sad for you"--as the only disincentive.

Come on down, Fandom! Say goodbye to the summer. Eat food, drink beer, get rid of polyblend if that's your thing...

"It's very complicated," she agreed. "Is there anything I can do to make it... less complicated?"

"I'm not positive," Jaina admitted. "I'm a big fan of getting things into the open, but I also know he's had a really rough time lately."

Partly because his dead wife's face was in town.

It was just her face! It wasn't like she could change it. Well. She kinda could, but then she'd look more like Padme.

"He mentioned that last week," Jane replied with a sigh. "I'm sorry. This must be even more uncomfortable for you."

"...Is it wrong that I'm so used to this it's not that bad?" Jaina asked, making a face. "I'm sorry to put you in this position."

"It's fine, you didn't know," Jane replied. "And I can see how it would be awkward to tell someone off the bat when meeting them."

And she didn't even know the whole batshit story!

"Yeeeees," Jaina said, because she did know the whole batshit story. "Like I said, it's complicated."

"Oh, this is going to make checking in after my class interesting," she had to admit. "At least there will be alcohol."

"A very good idea." Weren't you glad that your granddaughter was there to talk to Jane now, Anakin?
