Flight Club: Flight Shed, Monday After Classes

"Hey, everybody," Tahiri said, raising a hand in greeting; the time disparity hadn't thrown her off too badly, all things considered, and she looked in good spirits. "I hope it wasn't too quiet around here over the weekend. If it was, well, maybe the first sim option you've got today will make up for it. You've got an experimental Bell X-1 for your atmospheric craft today, which according to the research I've done is the first Earth manned aircraft to successfully break the speed of sound."

Not all that long ago, either, which still amused her. Really, Earth tech? Really?

"As for your spaceflight option . . ." Her expression turned sheepish, and she rubbed at the back of her neck. "I was trying to set up a scenario in Ben's uncle's ship --" this with some effort not to look amused until she noticed Leia didn't seem to be around -- "but for some reason it keeps giving me this flying Winnebago instead. Um . . . try not to overshoot the planet and crash-land, okay? I can definitely speak from experience when I say crash-landing is no fun. Well, maybe sometimes it is, but I'm not supposed to endorse it."

She read over the overview of both crafts' controls from her datapad (not without a significant amount of comical face-making over the flying Winnebago's schematics) and as an afterthought, added, "Oh, by the way -- if any of you are interested in seeing what an actual X-Wing snubfighter looks like, come talk to me; I've got one in the junkyard."

"I've heard that from people whose opinion I trust," Ben admitted.

"That category, I assume, includes me," Tahiri replied -- lightly, but she was watching him.

"Always," Ben said, smiling.

"Good thing we love you even if you are impossible, then," Tahiri decided. "Possibly because of it."

"Perfect people are hard to love," Ben said, "so I leave flaws."

Brat.

"It gives us something to give you a hard time about," replied Tahiri, who could be just as much of a brat, "so we appreciate your effort."

"I do love to be useful," Ben replied, laughing.

Tahiri just snorted and reached out to hug him again. "Sometimes you even are. Occasionally."
