Goodvalor's Little Bivoli, Wednesday

[cataclysmicluck]

Gigi was still on roller skates (to fit the mood of Pleasantville) and, as it turned out, hospitality droids just weren't designed to do something like skate. As she stumbled around the restaurant while bringing dishes out, clearing tables, and such, Zayne had to keep careful watch and catch her a few times with the Force. He was starting to

It wasn't that Jaina was really hungry- for some reason she hadn't had an appetite lately- but there was a new place in town. It was mainly that there was a new place in town that she didn't know, which bothered her because it meant things were going on without her and that was just not okay by her, and she wanted to check it out.

And if she sensed someone familiar, well, it just meant she was going to be happier about the new-places-popping-up-while-she-was-gone thing.

"Welcome to Goodvalor's Little Bivoli," Zayne said when he heard someone walk in. When he realized who it was, he added, "And welcome back to Fandom!"

"Did not expect to see you here," she said with a little smile. "What are you doing here, actually?"

Re: Talk to Zayne

"Owning a business, of course," Zayne said proudly. But that pride shrunk after a second. "Well, co-owning and managing. But my co-owner is only here in spirit and slightly larger than life-sized statue.

"You own- sorry, co-own and manage a restaurant," she corrected herself. "You've had a lot of careers so far, you know that?"

"I just hope I never have to put together a resume. It would take days," Zayne said. "So what are you doing here? Just visiting?"

Re: Talk to Zayne

[solo_sword]

"Something like that. I'm here for a few days maybe. Thought I'd check out what's new," she replied. "How long have you been back here?"

Re: Talk to Zayne

[cataclysmicluck]

"Only a couple weeks. After everything that happened back home, I figured it would be nice to come back here for a while and relax," Zayne said. "So of course I got here right when people started turning into monsters."

Re: Talk to Zayne

[solo_sword]

"Yeah, I heard about that," she said, frowning. "Tails?"

Re: Talk to Zayne

[cataclysmicluck]

"None for me. I got infected late enough that I just had some gray skin," Zayne said. "It was a nice welcome back for me."

Re: Talk to Zayne

[solo_sword]

"And you didn't turn right around and head home," Jaina said approvingly.

Re: Talk to Zayne

"Hey, people turning into monsters thanks to infections happened every day on Taris. At least here the people changed back," Zayne said. "I'll take a week of this over rakghouls any time."

Re: Talk to Zayne

[solo_sword]

There was a story she hadn't heard. "You dealt with rakghouls?"

Re: Talk to Zayne

[cataclysmicluck]

"In my time, Taris is best known for three things. Swoop bikes, rakghouls, and being the real start of the Mandalorian Wars," Zayne said. "They were even part of the training."

"And then there was Jebble, of course..." Zayne said that a little bit more quietly than the rest. He was going to carry the loss of Celeste and all of those Mandalorians for a long time.

"Sorry," she said sympathetically. "I didn't mean to bring up bad stuff."

Re: Talk to Zayne

"No, it's okay. It's just one of the most perfect examples of how the Force works with me. The rakghoul plague took over a Mandalorian staging area on Jebble and would have spread to the entire galaxy if I hadn't warned Cassus Fett," Zayne said. "So he bombed the planet, killing all of his transformed soldiers, and owed me a favor I was able to cash in to do a greater good later on. Something I couldn't have done without his help."
