Uncle Anakin! Uncle Anakin! UNCLE ANAKIN!!!!!!!!

WHO BUILDS TREEHOUSES!!!

::hyperventilates:::

Okay, I had to get that out of my system. LOL I adore Uncle Anakin. My headcanon Ryoo adores her uncle Anakin. (I wish I could write that fic.)

I have to ask, is that the explanation Padme and Anakin trained their nieces to give, or is Ryn covering for them?

[wyncatastrophe]

Hehehehehehe.

Hm. Both and neither? It's sort of head!canon for me that Anakin does visit the Naberries on some of his trips to Naboo … he just makes time to snuggle with Padmé on the sly. (Her parents emphatically do NOT know about this; Sola definitely suspects something.) So he has been building treehouses, and Ryoo and Pooja say so because they can't see anything wrong with that. The treehouse itself is legit, and both the girls are CRAZY about their Uncle Anakin. Ryn knows, of course, that in addition to building treehouses he's been doing other things on Naboo, but she recognizes here that the treehouse story is a) a good red herring; and b) pretty damn funny, so she takes advantage of the moment, as it were. She's had some experience with Uncle Anakin already - remember one of the very early chapters, when she has to go looking for him and he's busy helping Padmé teach the girls to swim

implausible deniability

Hmmm, Obi-Wan, you know how to make a relationship work, at least until it blows up in your face. Now I need to dig out my 'wet Obi' icon!

Ryn, you will be a most excellent aunt. It's lots of fun.

[wyncatastrophe]

at least until it blows up in your face

Well, there's that.

Writing this chapter left me feeling sort of vaguely regretful that I didn't have an extra sibling likely to produce offspring for me to be a bad influence on. (Kakkik is even less a candidate for motherhood than I am.) We were never close to any of our aunts and uncles growing up, but I've always thought it sounded like fun.

[pronker]

It is. It's a kid you can borrow and then hand back. Neighborhood kids can work that way, too.

[wyncatastrophe]

ZOMG KITTY ICON!!!!!

Do I want to borrow a kid, even if I get to hand it back? Hm. I remember wishing desperately that my Florida aunt was around more when I was a teenybopper; she told funny stories and wore nail polish.

Poor Obi-Wan -- I think Ryn just broke his brain. XD

Great chapter! :D

[wyncatastrophe]

Well … yeah, maybe just a little. :) Or Anakin did, by building treehouses … *snort*

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. How do you feel about the shorter ones? Is that working out okay?

[ladyhadhafang]

*Giggles* That too. :)

And you're welcome. :)

Yeah, they're going great. Don't you fear. :)
