Sawyer's outside catching his breath after going for a run around the lake. He picks his shirt up off the ground, wipes his face with it, and tosses it back down while he contemplates going for a swim.

If he looks over by a tree, there's a Jedi doing some lightsaber practicing against a remote. He could stop and say hi. Well, he might want to yell it from a safe distance so he doesn't get zapped by a stun bolt.

[milliways_sawyer]

He opts for a shrill whistle from a safe distance to get her attention. "Hey, princess."

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

The whistle causes Jaina to lose her concentration momentarily, allowing a stray bolt to graze her shoulder. She curses at the sting and reaches out with the Force to shut off the remote. Deactivating her lightsaber, she turns around to yell at whoever was responsible for the noise.

[milliways_sawyer]

He grins. "I thought the point was not to get shot."

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

"I'd like to see you do better," she says, yanking the training remote off the floor and into her hand as she walks towards him.

[milliways_sawyer]

He immediately starts backpedaling. "That ain't quite fair, now is it? I ain't got that Force to fall back on."

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

She laughs. "I think it would be."

A small pause as she studies him. "Speaking of the Force, why'd you act like that towards Jag last night? I told you to be nice."

[milliways_sawyer]

"Sweetheart, if you ain't know that much about me yet, I'm gonna start wondering if that little toy's zapped you in the head a few too many times. I ain't a nice guy. Hell, that was about as close to nice as most people get."

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

"You're nice to me. Claire even said you were worried about my recent stint with the dark side." A quick shake of the head; that's something she doesn't want to discuss right now. "Point is, you didn't have to treat him like that."

[milliways_sawyer]

"Aw, c'mon. It's like the guy's got a pole shoved right up his ass." He stands with his back rigid to illustrate.

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

"He does not!" A pause. "He's just serious. It's a result of the way he was raised."

[milliways_sawyer]

He rolls his eyes. "And here we go blaming the parents."

[jedipilot.livejournal.com]

"Not his parents. From what I've heard, Baron Fel and Syal are decent people. He grew up among a group of aliens known as the Chiss. Childhood is virtually non-existant in their society."

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

Asar-Suti, hanging about in the garden not far from where Sawyer is throwing down his shirt, grins very brightly at what he sees, making sure that he looks appreciative.

The worry about Claire is over; now, Sawyer season is on again.

[milliways_sawyer]

Sawyer glances around and sees Asar-Suti grinning. He immediately turns and looks the other way. "Dammit."

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

"Very nice," Asar-Suti calls over, presented with Sawyer's back. He appreciates the curve of the spine and the muscles over the shoulder blade, and hopes Sawyer can feel his look.

[milliways_sawyer]

He stops, and his head drops to his chest as he sighs. "I thought we'd gone past this, Barney."

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

"You know I'm just teasing you, don't you?" Asar-Suti says, coming closer.

"Still, there's no law against window shopping. You clearly take good care of yoourself."

[milliways_sawyer]

"Yeah, well, I try," he mutters.

Eager for a subject change, "You ever get the hang of that card game?"

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

Asar-Suti's eyes still rake Sawyer's body, but in a purely playful way.

"Oh yes, I did," he says. "Guppy taught me another card game that two people can play, the same evening. And I still have to give the cards back to you!"

He holds out his hand, into which the playing cards come flying from whatever direction, and offers them to Sawyer.

[milliways_sawyer]

He jabs a finger at Asar-Suti as he looks Sawyer over. "You're really gonna need to stop doing that now."

He takes the cards and pockets them. "What'd he teach you?"

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

"Yes? Why do I need to do that? It's completely harmless."

There's a purple glitter in his grin, though.

"Somethings with eights; you have to give he same suit or number, and if you've got an eight, you can say what suit you want to see next," he explains the game Guppy taught him.

[milliways_sawyer]

"Don't make me sic my girlfriend on you. She's feisty."

[asar-suti.livejournal.com]

"Ooooh - would she bap me on the nose for looking at what is hers?" Asar-Suti grins. "She's a lucky girl, in any case."

[milliways_sawyer]

"I don't know, Barney. She's little, but I bet she could do some damage if she wanted."
