Room 529, Just After Third Period

[weetuskenraider]

Master Atreides's class today had been the first real test of her newly integrating personality, and Tahiri was relieved that it had gone well. There were still things she had to get used to, new reflexive reactions and thought patterns, but instead of feeling like she was at odds with herself it was more a case of trying to unlearn bad habits or adjust her way of thinking.

That wouldn't be an instant fix, but it was a hell of a lot less stressful to deal with.

After class, she headed back to her room to check her messages and get caught up on what was going on at home. She might've had a little bit of an ulterior motive there. She had an Idea.

It couldn't be that bad an idea, could it? Those had only ever been a real recipe for trouble when she'd been around Anakin.

. . . keep telling yourself that, Tahiri.

Tahiri tensed briefly at the sight of the droid, but gritted her teeth and shook it off. "If you're going to send me off with chocolate, better make it the good stuff. One of those giant bars of dark chocolate half as tall as I am, maybe."

She picked at a stray thread on her pant cuff. "You migiht want to look into that soon."

Hurley nudged Four Dee back under the bed with his foot. He knew that reaction when he saw it. "Got a big mission coming up again?" he said, not exactly looking pleased at the thought.

Hey, he worried.

"It's okay," Tahiri said quickly, indicating Four-Dee. "I mean, the reaction . . . it's not bad the way it used to be. Think of it as me trying to teach myself not to bite my nails."

She managed to snap the thread loose and flick it aside. "No big mission, not yet. But I'm probably going soon. There's something I need to do."

Four-Dee beeped a bit and came back out, since Hurley stopped trying to nudge him under. "Like, something dangerous or more, like, 'I have a birthday party to go to'?" he asked.

He hoped it was the latter, but he knew better.

[weetuskenraider]

"I'd say it shouldn't be dangerous, but with a war going on . . ." Tahiri shook her head. "Sorry. I can't promise anything. It shouldn't be a big deal, though. Just something I need to take care of."

"Well, you can promise me one thing," Hurley said, giving her an encouraging smile. "You can promise you'll keep on your toes. Cause I know you're good enough to take care of yourself."

Tahiri wiggled her toes and grinned wryly. "Even if I have to wear shoes wherever I am --" and she probably would, where she was planning to be -- "I will."

"Dude, you're going somewhere you have to wear shoes on purpose?" Hurley joked. "Do I need to check for a fever or something?"

Tahiri gave him a Look. "Believe me, if I could avoid it, I would. But I'm not that stubborn --" yes, Tahiri, sometimes you were -- "that I'd refuse to wear them even if it was a stupid idea to go barefoot."
