Rory shook her head, holding up the letter - the letter that she hadn't actually set down yet. "He got called back to Coruscant," she said quietly. "Anakin did, I mean. He doesn't know for how long, or if he'll be able to come back at all."
Trying to lighten the mood just a little bit, John says, "And, you know, to explain to those that don't know about you and Anakin why you're sad? Say I spilled grape juice in your closet and ruined your clothes. All of them."
Rory actually did look fairly horrified at that. "That would be horrible. If I had started on them. Seriously, the people who don't know about the whole thing do know that we were close, at least as friends. So no one should be too shocked by sadness." She shrugged. "Which I'm still waiting to fully kick in. Numbness is interesting."
"I have...a few pictures. Random things I managed to take. She wasn't much of a picture girl, you know." John pauses for a moment. "I think...maybe, not for sure, I might know someone who took some pictures of Anakin at the pageant. Want me to check that out?"
"Oh, I forgot the pageant," Rory said, her brows shooting up. "I think my mom took pictures, too. I doubt the pirate'd be willing to share his footage without asking why I want it plus omg not an option, but I know Jaye and my mom and a bunch of other people had cameras that night. That might be a good idea."
"I know Aeryn got some of me from Parkie. Maybe she got some too. I'm sure there are some of him out there. I also have a copy of that banthabell CD from way back when. You want it?"
"If I could borrow it and maybe burn a copy, that'd be great. I never got one," Rory admitted. "I thought it was kind of mean to be exploiting him like that. And yeah, Parker probably has some. And she knows, so she would understand why I want them. It's just weird. And you know. Like I don't even know where to start, since he was such a big part of my life. Is. I'm not letting this go into past tense."

So, now he's standing outside her room and knocking quietly. "You in there, Rory? It's John."
