"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.

"Don't wanna bath!" protested Jud, his blue eyes wide as he checked over his shoulder and then turned to book it down the hall. "No!"

Frank snagged him, and then winced as the two and a half year old gave a yell of fright at being grabbed by a stranger.

"Easy, easy Jud, it's ok! Frank's a friend, he's your big brother now!" Tiji said, taking him instead. "Shh... it's ok."

He wrapped his arms around her neck and hid his face on her shoulder, unaware of the mixture of shock, sadness, and embarrassment on Frank's face.

"It's alright," she said gently, partially to the boy, partially to Frank.

"I forgot again," he said softly. "I'm sorry, Turbo."

"Hey." Jud sat up and turned to frown at him, surprised that the guy knew his nickname.

"It's ok," Tiji smiled. "This is Fron. He's a brand new big brother."

-It's ok, babe. He'll like you quickly,- she smiled.

He grinned at Jud, then turned it to Tiji before looking toward the freshers. "Um... what did you do to Atton this time, Turbo?"

"Nuffin!" Blue eyes went wide with innocence.

"You didn't escape that easily," she smiled. "Is he locked up again?"

[random_xtras]

"Nooooooo." He looked at the ceiling and thought of bees.

Frank chuckled despite himself, recognizing the signs.

Tiji sighed. "Then we'll have to finish your bath. And we wont make it fun like Uncle Atton does," she said, arching an eyebrow at him.

"He's in the trunk!" The blue eyes went wide again.

Frank couldn't help it, he leaned helplessly against the wall as he laughed.

Tiji grinned. "Ok. Show me where Atton is, and then promise to be a good boy and take your weekly bath," she said.

Jud sighed and pointed toward the door of the men's barrack. "In the trunk."

"How have you managed to get him in there so many times?" asked Frank, wiping his eyes.

Jud just frowned at him, wondering who told him about the other times he'd locked his honorary uncle in the big carved storage chest.

"I want you to go let him out, now," she said sternly, looking at the boy and trying to hide her grin.
