Caritas | Wednesday

[tripledmyself]

When Wednesday rolled around, Nathan was ready to fucking drink and drink well. Graduation was coming up which meant he had to decide what to do with his life (as his mum put it) and she hadn't liked his answer of 'fuck off and get wasted

Jaina could remember a time when she couldn't wait to get out of Fandom and stay there, and now she came back specifically to do things like work through the messes alternate timelines coexisting created.

So yeah, there was totally a real drink in her hand as she found a seat and waited for her grandfather.

She was soooo not going to judge him for going through a drink that fast today.

"That you're not that person anymore. That you're literally not the Vader in her galaxy. That you've already spent years atoning for things you did." She frowned. "Plus I've realized that you get to prove yourself for that and for the rest of us who show up from other places."

It really did seem unfair to him, when she thought of it that way. If she could get upset that her Jacen at nineteen had had to answer for things a much older him had done in another reality, there wasn't really much difference there.

Anakin nodded. "I kind of figured that last part out out the first time I saw you at the picnic. I stayed anyway."

He was taking this as part of his punishment for, you know, killing millions of people.

"Sorry for being such a bitch back then." Wow, that wasn't as hard to say as she would have thought.

But seriously, she'd been a bitch back then. At least now she knew better the right times for that.

"You were young," Anakin said. "I was an unbearable teenager myself." His lips quirked up. "Just ask Belthazor."

"I will sometime. I'm sure it'll be funny," she said with a little smile. "And Mom's more reasonable than either of us, so keep that in mind, too."

"That she gets from her mother," Anakin replied. "I had a habit of telling the Council to their faces that they were being stupid."

Pause.

"In my defense, they were."

Never wonder why Jaina was the way she was. She got it from both sides of the gene pool.

"Well, if it's the truth..."

"Exactly!" Anakin agreed, pouring himself another drink. "Would you like some? It's not Whyren's Reserve, but it's not half bad."

Re: The Lounge [Caritas 03/28]

"No, thanks," she said, and picked up her own, mostly-untouched drink to show him. "Besides, you probably need that more than I do."

Of course if he finished the whole bottle himself she'd be Concerned.

"It won't solve anything," Anakin said, "and showing up to class tomorrow hungover would bad, but I really not to think for a while tonight."

"Can't blame you," she said. "Things will settle. That doesn't mean this part is any fun at all."

OOC: Let's pretend that last ping didn't make me sound drunk, kthx.

"At all," Anakin agreed. "And it could take years to settle."

Re: The Lounge [Caritas 03/28]

[solo_sword]

Make me.

"Maybe," she said slowly. "I think the second Death Star might knock some things into new perspective."

Re: The Lounge [Caritas 03/28]

[sith_happened]

"Assuming her me makes the right choice," Anakin replied.

[PRETEND I CAN READ.]

"He will," she said. "I don't doubt it."
