"Hey, it's John. I'm, uh, heading out of town for a couple days. Nothing's wrong, the weekend was just...you know." He really hoped she did because the words were not coming to him. "I've got my phone if you need me. Bye!"
It was early Saturday morning when Karal called. "Jaina, if you've got time, could you please come down to the stables this morning? It's important. We'll be up in the hayloft."
"Hello Jaina. Altra returned this morning, and he says that we leave Tuesday before dawn. I'll probably be either in my room or at the stables if you need me for anything."
Bored after classes, John decided to try calling Jaina despite the time/universe difference. He was a little disappointed to get her voicemail. "Hey Jaina, it's me. John. Please tell me I don't need to explain which one," he paused appropriately. "Anyway, I thought maybe I'd catch you between gigs but it seems I missed you. So, yeah. I'll try to keep from doing anything stupid and maybe I'll talk to you later. Be good, or at least better than me."
"Me again. So, I managed not to do anything stupid," he called back after his return from Lee's room. "But I did manage to see an Ewok and to remember it's your birthday this week. Aaand if you don't come up with any requests between now and then, be prepared for an evening of drunk singing." Not that she'd be drunk, but he might have to be. "That's it. And I missed you again, so let's hope that means you're too busy kicking ass to answer your comm. Good luck."
