MCA #1- Wednesday evening

[thatwaslucky]

For whatever reason, the Skywalker-Solos- including adoptees- had rough Augusts. Rey herself had lost four people in that month a couple years apart. Which was why in talking to Anakin, they'd decided maybe they needed to get people together for some commiseration. Also drinking.

Rey didn't have people over very often but it wasn't like there was a ton of stuff to clean in her stupid-giant apartment. As long as the kitchen worked and there were places to sit (the furniture was mostly mermaid!) it was probably fine.


[For said Skywalker-Solos. Because we have spent a lot, a lot of years being mean.]

"So many Hans in so many galaxies wondering where their stash of Corellian whiskey went," Luke said with a laugh. "I like it." He leaned in for a hug. "It's good to see you!"

[solo_sword]

"You too," she said, hugging him back. "Next time, maybe less trauma."

It was all repressed trauma anyway.

[tatooine_doofus]

"That doesn't sound like our family," Luke said, holding on tightly.

[solo_sword]

"I'll have you know we've had a run of okay years by me," Jaina pointed out.

[tatooine_doofus]

"That's just bragging," Luke teased.

[solo_sword]

"I have been through three wars and two coups, I have earned it," she said.

[tatooine_doofus]

"And you're raising twins," Luke said with a smile. "You've earned the semi-quiet."

[solo_sword]

"I do. For a couple days, then I begin the chaos anew," Jaina said. "How are you doing?"

[tatooine_doofus]

"Well, Thrawn's gone," Luke said with a tired smile. "Mara's taken off to the Core to mostly avoid me for a bit, I think."

[solo_sword]

That one still got her a little, though she was absurdly good at masking. "So, peacetime."

Which went for both Thrawn and Mara.

[tatooine_doofus]

"For the moment," Luke said with a tiny smile. "Now I have to figure out how to get the Order to what you remember."

[solo_sword]

"I'll have some notes on that," she said.

[tatooine_doofus]

"I will happily take any advice you have," Luke admitted. "We meet up in August and remember the things that have gone wrong. I'd love to sidestep, well, any of them."

[solo_sword]

"You've got some time before I start getting prickly," she assured him.

[tatooine_doofus]

"On a scale of Han to Anakin, how prickly?" Luke asked.

[solo_sword]

"Mom," she said.

[tatooine_doofus]

Luke made a little "yikes" face. "Leia on a mission prickly?" he guessed.

[solo_sword]

"Not that bad. Us-in-trouble-at-home level."

You know, before she was 15.

[tatooine_doofus]

"Oh, all right," Luke said. "I can work with that."

He 100 percent could not.
