"Yes, sir," Tiji said, carefully hiding the yawn, and listening to the Republic Admiral's final orders, his smaller, blue and flickering face oblivious to her boredome as he finished outlining her mission.

The young Jedi nodded and saluted him, then breathed a sigh of relief as he finally finished and left.

"I'm impressed. You managed to look much more attentive this time," her father smiled, approaching. She smiled.

"Come on dad, it's just a message delivery," she rolled her eyes.

"I still wish you'd take somebody with you. Zaalbar or Mission or-"

"The only one who's free is Atton," she said sweetly. Atton, who was currently shuffly Pazaak cards, looked up helpfully.

"Well he'd be useless," Carth sighed. "Alright. you ready to go?"

"Yes, dad," she smiled.

"Frank?" He looked down at her with a confused frown, but then straightened to attention. "I'm really sorry... and I'm not making it up this time! I really can't remember how I got there!"

"Er... what?" Tiji sid, feeling his confusion. Carth also looked bewildered.

Fron looked back and forth between them, now feeling totally bewildered. "You didn't notice I was gone?"

"Why would we notice?" Tiji said, giving him a hug.

"How did you..." Carth stopped and shook his head, then had an idea. "While you're hear, mister, how about accompanying Tiji on her mission?"

"Yeah!" Tiji brightened.

"Wait... I was supposed to be gone...." He was looking back and forth between them again, his expression showing a desperate desire to try and figure this out. Then he straightened and brightened with relief. "Yes, sir! I'll watch her back."

"Oh trust me, it's going to be really, really lame," Tiji laughed.

"But it's important," Carth sighed. "Look, son, you take good care of my little girl, or we'll have words, you understand me?"

"Quit being melodramatic. Frank's awesome, nothing'll happen," she sighed.

"Yes, sir!" He snapped his head around as he thought he saw something, but then realized that it was just one of his Master's guards and relaxed. "Come on, Tiji."

Still grinning with relief, he led the way flawlessly to the shuttle bay.

Tiji blinked in surprise, then giggled softly. "I like your new clothes," she said. "You look just like a real Jedi."

[random_xtras]

He looked at her puzzledly as they stepped into the shuttle. "What do you mean? This is the same stuff I always wear. And I am a Jedi... at least as much as you are."

"Um... are you mental? You can't even use the Force," she laughed, plopping down into the pilot's seat. "I'm glad you're hear, though. This was going to be really boring alone."

[random_xtras]

He looked at her, wondering if he was trapped in some sort of induced hallucination in order to get information out of him. "Tiji... what's going on?"

[another-phace.livejournal.com]

"That's a good question," she said, sensing his thoughts and growing more serious as well. "You know... you're not- I mean, you seem a little confused. What's up, Frank?"
