Work work work....

[geek-song.livejournal.com]

Gregory was drowning in work again. He always seemed to be drowning in work lately. Between his final semester of law school, his internship, and occasionally help Matt out, he was ready to pop.

Luckily, he stumbled into the Cantina. "Maybe now I can get a five mnute break..." He found himself a seat, setting his oer stuffed computer bag and armfull of folders on it before plopping down. He leaned his forehead on the table. "Hmmm...5 minute nap...that's all I need and then I can finish my paper..." Sure, Gregory. 5 minutes was what it was going to take...try a week of sleep to catch up.

"Excuse me." A hand shook his shoulder gently. "You're drooling on your flimsy."

Gregory shot up, blinking. "Habius corpus!!" He blinks again and looks at the woma who shook him awake and blushed deeply. "Oh....er....sorry..."

[random_xtras]

She stepped back, her Jedi robes swirling around her feet. "Forgive me, I didn't intend to startle you so badly."

The robe was pulled shut, so he wouldn't be able to see the black Katarn armor that she wore underneath.

Gregory rubbed his eyes and yawned. "No, it's ok. I must have drifted off...." He smiles. "I'm Gregory."

"Master Onasi," she said softly, then shook her head at herself. "Alora."

[geek-song.livejournal.com]

"Alora...that's pretty." he commented almost absently. "Since you were so kind as to wake me up, can I buy you a drink? I myself need to drink a pot of coffee..."

[random_xtras]

"Thank you." She smiled. "But I'm afraid I've had my caf limit for the day."

[geek-song.livejournal.com]

He rubs his eyes. "Not sure I can even understand that concept. Well, I'm going to drink coffee. You can have whatever you like, if you want to sit with me that is." He smiles.

"If I drink more than a pot my saberwork suffers. And my daughter is at the age where she is more than glad to point it out to me." She smiles her thanks to Jana as the furry waitress sets a pot of coffee and a bottle of Corellian ale on the table.

Gregory blinks. "Saber work? Wait a minute...like a lightsaber?"

[random_xtras]

"Yes." She gives him an amused smile. "That is the trademark weapon for Jedi."

[geek-song.livejournal.com]

"You're a Jedi?" His eyes grow wide before his face breaks into a huge grin. "That is so COOL!"

[random_xtras]

Alora just shakes her head and chuckles. "Let me guess, the movies?"

[geek-song.livejournal.com]

Gregory blushes and nods. "Yea....I'm kinda a geeky fanboy..."

[random_xtras]

She chuckles again and tips up her ale to take a drink. "Have you ever heard of the Old Republic?"

[geek-song.livejournal.com]

He nods. "I've read practically every Star Wars book written...well, except the New Jedi Order...that was just a load of crap."

[random_xtras]

"Do they feature a man named Carth Onasi?"

[geek-song.livejournal.com]

Greogry looks thoughtful. "Not that I can recall....but I haven't picked up a book for pleasure in years."

[random_xtras]

She nods. "So you've never heard of Darth Revan."

[geek-song.livejournal.com]

"No, that name doesn't sound familiar." he says with a shake of his head.

[random_xtras]

"Good." She tips her bottle up again.

Gregory sipped his coffee, looking thoughtful. "It's funny....Superheros are the norm for me. I meet other people in a nexus and they look at me in awe that I live in a city guarded from supervillans by the Teen Titans...but Jedi throw me for a loop."

[random_xtras]

Alora chuckles. "Even in my reality there are people whom Jedi throw for a loop."

[geek-song.livejournal.com]

"I know so many amazing people sometimes I wonder how I can be so...ordinary." he comments.

[random_xtras]

"Oh?" She lifts her brows quizzically.

[geek-song.livejournal.com]

"I know superheros, witchs and wizards, apparently I now know a Jedi, werepeople and vampires...the list goes on. And here's me: lawyer-in-training computer geek. I mean, my girlfriend is a pirate! She's the captain of a ship...and I can barely afford my rent." Ok, he was whining a little bit. His work load was really getting to him.

[random_xtras]

"I am only human," she says softly. "And there are whole stretches of days that I don't see my family."

[geek-song.livejournal.com]

He blinks and blushes, looking sheepish. "Sorry...I guess I'm just feeling out of place lately..."

[random_xtras]

Alora gives his hand a motherly pat. "I know that feeling."

[geek-song.livejournal.com]

He smiles slightly. "Sucks, huh?"

[random_xtras]

"Sometimes." A rebel light glimmers in her eyes and smile.

[geek-song.livejournal.com]

Gregory drinks more of his coffee. "Other times it's good to be out of place cause you wouldn't want to be in place with the people you are around at that point anyway."

[random_xtras]

She nods, withdrawing her hand back to her ale. "I am a Jedi with no connection to the force. I have a husband, and children. I see no point in withdrawing myself from the world."
