Flight Club [after classes]

It was a lot quieter outside the flight shed today than it had been last Monday, and whether that was a good thing or a bad one, Tahiri was withholding judgment on the question.

"Hey, everyone," she said, fiddling with her comlink just for the sake of something to do with her hands. "So . . . end of the semester already, huh? After last night, and with more finals to go for a lot of us, it seems like today should be a pretty easygoing day. Like Warren said a couple of weeks ago, this point in the semester ought to be for fun. Of course, some of us --" she gave Ben an amused but pointed look -- "have different ideas of what counts as fun. So we've got a few different choices for you today, to blow off some of that finals stress steam."

Ben's eyes twinkled back at her. "For the space option, we're going to let you get back into a snubfighter--but this time it's the A-Wing, which is a lot zippier than the X-Wing. I know this makes me a traitor to the family and stuff, but it's totally astral for flying through asteroid fields."

Ben had a strange sense of fun. "So that's what you'll be doing. Try not to get smushed."

Tahiri was so not surprised about his strange sense of fun. "And for your atmospheric option today, have an XCOR EZ-Rocket experimental plane, and see how fast you can get those twin rocket engines to go."

Ben smiled at everyone. "And there's pizza and ice cream, as well. Don't take it too near the sims."

Like it's almost summer vacation!

Anemone

Leia Organa

With pizza and ice cream!

Yay flying!

Anemone was totally taking the A-Wing for a spin, and possibly doing her best to push its limits and see what sort of acrobatics (and speed barriers) she could manage.

Leia had to try the A-Wing. Though she had a really bad feeling about the asteroids for some reason.

As if Tahiri wasn't going to take both sims out for a spin? As comparatively primitive as the XCOR was compared to even the atmospheric craft at home, those rocket jets were fun.

And she had to try showing off a little in the A-Wing. It was going really well until she cut a turn too closely and clipped an asteroid; the resulting spinout was less than impressive, but hey, she managed to wrestle the ship back into control just in time to avoid vaping herself. It took enough damage spinning through a debris field to make an astromech cry, but it was still in one piece.

One of whom, at least, is totally eating.

Mmm, pizza. Why yes, it was entirely possible Ben had a hollow leg.

Tahiri was eating too, okay? Not as much as Ben, but it was actual eating and not the 'nibble imperceptibly at a very cold slice of pizza' variety. And because she could multitask, she was eyeing him over the top of her pizza crust as if she could detect any shiny new prosthetics that way. Or something. Shh.

It's his birthday today, so don't break his sims and make him cry.

Anakin was in a very good mood today.

"You're in a good mood," Leia noticed, though she didn't know about the birthday.

"I have a date with my wife tonight," he said with a smile. "It always puts me in a good mood."

"Any special occasion, or just because you can?" Leia asked.

"It's my birthday," he admitted.

"It is? Happy birthday," Leia said. She frowned a little. "I feel like I should have known that."

"I've never mentioned it, so there's no reason you should have," Anakin said with a quick smile. "It's hardly a galactic holiday."

"Well, I know it now," Leia said. "So who's watching Juliet?"

"Ben and Tahiri," Anakin said with a slightly evil smile.

Leia looked skeptical. "Do they know how to take care of a baby?" she said.

"They're both highly trained Jedi Knights," Anakin said. "I'm sure they can handle one being who can't even walk yet."

"I didn't realize Jedi training included baby care," Leia said dryly. "Does that come before or after wielding a lightsaber?"
