There are two Jedi in the bar; one dressed in his typical Jedi robes, while the other opted for something more Earth-like - a black tanktop and jeans she picked up while in New Jersey with Sam, to be exact.

Currently, they're sitting at a booth with glasses of Whyren's, playing a few rounds of sabacc to pass the time. There's an amused grin on Jaina's face. Apparently, even with the meld working in his advantage, she can still beat Zekk easily.

"Just...well, he hadn't met us before." Big difference in Jaina's book.

Understandably so. Bonzo nods. Meeting your dad and having him not recognize you would have to be odd.

"Interesting...strange that the bar would do that."

Jaina and Zekk laugh. "Sithspit, half the people from home are from different times than us. Mom, Dad, Uncle Luke..."

"Even Jacen and Tenel Ka were at some point, too."

Bonzo laughs as well.

"Ok...point taken. Ender was from later than me, and Val's from even later, I think. I just meant the part about not knowing who you were, that's all."

Jaina nods, cosidering this. "How much time passes for you when you return home?"

Bonzo thinks for a minute.

"As in passes while I'm here? Or how long I stay home?"

"Either."

Bonzo thinks.

"When I get back, no time has passed...it's like I'm in a bubble in here, and when I go back...I remember here, but no time passes."

Pause.

"And I end up staying home for anything from a week or two to a year."

"Last time we left, we only spent a couple days on Earth."

"It seemed to parallel time spent out of here," Zekk states.

"But before that, it had been five years." They shake their head in unison, and at the same time mutter, "Strange."

Bonzo nods in agreement.

"Then again...you went to a world you didn't come from. I've always gone to the world I came from. Maybe that has something to do with it?"

"Maybe," Jaina says queitly, shrugging.

She shares a glance with Zekk (yay more mental communication not being written) and turns to look back at Bonzo. "Anyway, we're going to head upstairs."

"Good night, Bonzo," Zekk says.

Bonzo nods to Jaina and Zekk.

"Good night, Jaina, Zekk."

He waves to them as they head upstairs.
