Well, that's less of a problem than it could be, but it does mean she's not getting any sleep either. That's fine. She can hang out and watch the stars.

It will be such a sleepless night for both of them.

In the morning he will be an amount of functional-post-all-nighter that is probably remarkable if one is not Lord Pradnakt.

That is pretty remarkable. She doesn't comment on it, though, just starts on breakfast. (Hash browns with cheese, and some muffins from a bakery in the city.)

"You're a good cook."

"Hash browns're easy. Remind me and I'll show you sometime."

Nod. "Is there a good market where we're going?"

"Not really. We can get most anything ordered in, but it takes a while sometimes. We grow most of our own food."

"Okay," she says, disappointed.

"She takes her tea spices seriously."

"Damn straight I do."

"Ah. Well, if they didn't have them at Kincardine there probably aren't any on the planet, and that's easily three to six months for an order to come in."

"I'm only missing a few but they're an important few. ...It was my mother's recipe."

"Yeah. I'll have Daisy put the order in right away," she shrugs, "best I can do."

"Thank you."

"No problem."

"Do you think we're going to be here in six months?"

"Hopefully not. Worth putting the order in anyway, though, it might be quick."

Nod nod.

Food.

And Jedi-observing.

The Jedi observes her back! Although he seems to be more concerned with where she is in relation to Ekkreth than in relation to him.

Cute.

Kinda pointless, but cute.

Well, the questions "can he beat her in a fight" and "can he hold her off long enough for Ekkreth to escape" are completely different things. But perhaps.

He isn't overtly hostile about it.

Good, that would be hazardous to his health.

"Is there anything else you'll want while you're out here?"

"Depends how long. I'm low on a couple spices I'm not out of; I wouldn't normally bother refilling them at this point but normally we spend a week at most on any given planet."

Nod. "Daisy generally goes to town monthly, that's about the turnaround time to get things from Kincardine, but we can put in a rush order."
