BWI Airport Portalocity Lounge, Saturday morning

[thishouseishaunted]

"Portalocity lounge," Mae read aloud, and heaved a sigh of relief. "Finally. First time I ever travel alone and I get lost in the stupid airport." She walked into the lounge, looked around, and hopped up onto the bench, her duffel bag tucked under her feet. There was plenty of room, since her legs were too short to reach the ground. "Of course, it's bigger than, like, all of Possum Springs put together, so I guess that can't be too surprising. Good thing Mom and Dad insisted I take the early bus."

She tapped her heels on her duffel bag and eyed the door. "And now I'm talking to myself. Good job, Mae. Perfect first impression." She made her eyes comically wide and waved to an imaginary audience. "HeY, I'M mAe, i'M TOtallY NOrmAl, niCE To MEeT yoU." She frowned and tapped her feet harder. "Good job, Killer."

Another glance around the lounge. There wasn't a lot to look at yet.

"I wish I had a video game."

[NEWBIE SHUTTLE TIME! Possibly slightly early, but I want a distraction]

Oh, hey. Kanan knew this type pretty well.

He'd been one, after all.

"You have no idea where you're at right now, do you?"

Call it a hunch.

"I'm honestly assuming I ate something rotten and this is a fever dream," he admitted pretty calmly.

"Fair enough. My sympathies for the hangover to follow."

Because it would more or less involve that unfortunate realization that it probably wasn't just something he ate.

DON'T TAKE THAT DELUSION FROM HIM.

"Could be worse."

He wasn't dead, so there was that.

"Can always be worse," Kanan agreed. "At least this way you get a picnic."

Before they chased him off or the church showed up, free food would be amazing.

"I'll take your word on it," he said, hauling himself onto the bus all while making a face at the garishness.

At least Kanan felt faintly justified by the faces people were making at the decorations.

Even if most of them were assuming this meant he was driving the stripper bus.

"Welcome to Fandom," he replied, smiling crookedly. "Mind the glitter."

So, so much glitter.
