James A. Garfield cabin roof; Tuesday night (05.12)

[saikyou-no.livejournal.com]

Kenshin had had an interesting day. Interesting enough that the relative quiet and darkness of the rooftop was a relief. He sat with his back to the light of the campfires, and stared out into the night, emptying his mind, so that hopefully he could sleep. He wasn't worried about anyone sneaking up behind him; he would hear them before they got close enough to be a threat.

How long his solitude would remain solitude...

Well.

((Open post is open. :D?))

"In that case, it's good to meet you, too," he replied. "...What's your world like?" he asked after a moment.

"Huge," Tahiri said, her lips quirking up slightly. "Hundreds of planets, all of them really, really different. Thousands of different races, and lots of complex politics that I don't really have the patience for."

”Most warriors don't," he pointed out.

[weetuskenraider]

"Which is why we're not politicians," Tahiri replied, though a little bit of a self-conscious look crossed her face at being called a warrior. "Most of us, anyway. Some of us Jedi are expected to know how to do both."

"That's what Ben said. It would be nice to be able to end conflict without violence, but I don't think I'll live to see that world come to be."

[weetuskenraider]

"Yeah, we've been trying to do that for thousands of years, but so far it doesn't seem to take. You know Ben?" Tahiri asked, grinning.

"He's my 'big brother' here," Kenshin replied.

[weetuskenraider]

"Wow. The school made a good match for that," Tahiri said. "Has he been doing a good job of that so far? If he isn't, I'll bug him about it."

Kenshin nodded.

"He has."

Though he still had no idea how to get a good night's sleep without his sword.

[weetuskenraider]

"Good," Tahiri said, still grinning in a slightly goofy way. "He's really great."

She was biased, yes.

"Have you known him for a while?" he asked.

[weetuskenraider]

"You could say that," Tahiri allowed with a chuckle. "I've known him since he was born."

[saikyou-no.livejournal.com]

"So you grew up together? That must be nice."

[weetuskenraider]

"Not exactly," Tahiri replied. "He's from a different version of my world. At the point in time that I left home to come here, he's still a baby. I think he'll be turning two years old in a couple of months."

Blink.

Blink.

Blink.

"That must be strange."

[weetuskenraider]

Tahiri laughed sheepishly. "I try not to think about it too much, honestly."

[saikyou-no.livejournal.com]

"I don't blame you," he replied.

[weetuskenraider]

"Welcome to Fandom," Tahiri deadpanned.

[saikyou-no.livejournal.com]

That actually got him to laugh.
