Tahiri's Usual Spot on the Beach, Friday Afternoon

[weetuskenraider]

All her things were packed; her room had been restored to its original state, her X-Wing was prepped, and her blaster, gaderffii, and lightsaber cleared out of the weapons locker. Tahiri didn't own that much, and everything non-essential that she'd accumulated over the last three years had been shipped out ahead of her. The rest was stowed safely

Raven had had a long conversation with Tahiri only a few days before, but she wasn't about to let her leave without seeing her again. Fortunately she could use her gifts to track her friend down on the beach. She teleported a short distance away and began to walk across the sand.

"Hello, Tahiri," she called out. "I am sorry to see you go."

"Likewise," Tahiri replied, standing and moving toward Raven. "Well . . . more like I'm sorry I have to leave all of you, but you know what I meant, I hope."

"I understand," Raven said. She sighed as she looked out across the water. "I do not like this time of year, when friends must leave. I hope you will not disappear like some have."

"I have no intentions of disappearing," Tahiri answered, carefully avoiding anything that sounded like a promise. "I can't guarantee my duties back home will give me anything like a reasonable break schedule, but it's not actually exciting missions all the time for most of us. I'll see you next time I'm here, I hope."

"I am glad to hear you say that," Raven said, managing a smile. "I know time moves different between many of our worlds" -- Azar knew that caused her some small amount of distress about Jono's world -- "and that you will have responsibilities you cannot ignore, but I hope to see you return for Homecoming and other special events."

"That makes two of us," Tahiri replied, reaching out to take Raven's hands. "After all, I have to give Karla a break from making sure you don't overstretch yourself sometime, don't I?"

Also someone was going to need to teach Steph to say "God, Raven" now.

"Karla has grown quite skilled at telling me not to do so," Raven said, squeezing Tahiri's hands and sending her a gentle pulse of affection, though tinted with sorrow at her leaving. "But I do not believe she would ever turn down assistance in such matters."
