Everything ached as Jaina trudged gracelessly into the apartment, walking in tired, lazy movements towards her own room where she swiped the access card and proceeded to make it as far as the workbench before she collapsed on the chair, a hand brushing back the hair that was snarled and dissheveled from the swoop track.
Her hands moved, and it was with an incredibly contented grin that she unhooked a bag from her utility belt, dumping its component -- the last component -- out onto the top of the bench. A focusing lense gleamed back at her, and Jaina felt a smile break as her eyes darted to the almost completely functional lightsaber.
A few minutes later, a violet blade snap-hissed on in her palm, and Jaina felt like she was letting out a breath that she had been holding for far, far too long. It felt...wrong, and oddly vulnerable, to be without the weapon she had wielded for the better part of five years now, and...
And if she was stuck being the Sword of the Jedi, she might as well have the actual sword.
It was with a satisfied smirk that Jaina disengaged the saber, rolling her shoulders before she began to mindlessly take off the grungy flightsuit, intent on heading to the refresher and taking a long nap.
Being an up and coming hotshot swoop racer had its advantages, but kriff, she had barely left the track in three days and was well-entitled to a nap.
