Hagrid's come into the bar for a bite to eat, and a cold tankard of beer. He's in a cheerful mood today, as usual.

And still looking for people to try out his pumpkin boats out on the lake. Any takers?

"No s'posed ter be," he calls out to her. "It's s'posed ter be fun, once yeh get th' hang o' it!"

It's not like riding an X-wing, but it's not bad.

"It is," she responds.

Hagrid sits onthe shore, watching fondly as Jaina glides around the lake like she's been doing it for ages.

"So, it looks like that one works alright," he calls out to her. "There's no leaks?"

There really shouldn't be, though fish may come to nibble on the bottom of the boat.

"Not that I can see." Jaina smiles. "She works beautifully."

It's been a while since she's been able to pilot any sort of vehicle. To say the least, she's missed it.

Carefully, if not slightly regretfully, she uses the oars to begin to steer the boat back to shore.

"Thank yeh fer tryin' it out fer me," Hagrid beams as he pulls the boat ashore. "Yer welcome ter use any o' th' boats any time yeh like till they rot or get eatin or summat. I think I'll ask one of the other magic users to try a Preserving Charm on 'em ter keep em in good shape fer a while."

Hagrid takes a carving knife from his pocket, and carefully carves out the words, "Lady Jaina" on the side of the boat.

"So we'll know which one fits yeh best, an' has already bin tested."

She beams. "Thank you! I'll have to take Jag out here some time."

Jaina steps out of the boat and walks over to see the carving, her smile widening. "Lady Jaina? Sithspawn, Hagrid, thanks! I've never had a ship named after me."

"S'no problem," he smiles. "What's a Jag? or a Sithspawn?"

"Sithspawn's a swear in my galaxy." She chuckles. "Jag's a person. He's my boyfriend."

Hagrid chuckles. "Well, that's one I never heard before! I thought you was datin' a guy named Nathan?"

He can't keep up with these young peoples' romances these days.

"Nathan's my friend. I've never dated him."

"I see," Hagrid says. "Well, I'm sure youever yeh bring out will do just fine. Jus' make sure he's a good swimmer. That water kin get cold."

"I will. Thank you again, Hagrid." She smiles and gives him a hug.

He pats her gently on the back and smiles back.

"Anytime. Thank you."
