“And the old nerf-herder gathered up the cubs, and laid them gently in the trough amongst the hay, where they fell fast asleep,” Leia said with a softening voice, as she finished the bedtime story.
Corsa whispered her thanks to her mother, took a quick glance across the room to her brother who was laying on his side with his eyes shut, and then nestled down under the blanket. Leia reached across to the lamp that stood on a cabinet between the two small beds and lowered the soft light further. Han stood leaning in the doorway, his arms crossed, an easy half-smile on his face as he regarded the domestic scene.
Leia stroked her daughter’s hair, and whispered, “Mum and dad love you both. We’ve got to pop out later, back tomorrow, but Nanna-droid will look after you and Two-Bee will have breakfast ready in the morning.”
Corsa gave a sleepy nod. “Love you too,” she mumbled.
Leia got to her feet, and, sliding her hand around her husband’s waist, the parents retired into the main lounge. The children’s bedroom door slid to a three-quarter close. Inside, the twins sat up, wide awake, and listened intently.
Han made his way to a drinks cabinet, where he poured two tumblers from a decanter of amber liquid. He passed one to Leia, and sipped at his own.
“Mmmm, that’s warming,” cooed Leia, gratefully.
“So the latest is that I take Harker and some of the other techs in the Falcon, then ? Darling, I still don’t trust that girl...”
“I know, but Chewie and I’ll be with you,” replied Leia. “I want to take the opportunity to see if I can seer-journey from the Falcon.”
“Now that you’ve travelled into her...” continued Han.
Leia nodded. “I’m thinking that sensing you in danger allowed me to journey into a familiar setting even though it’s artificial. Perhaps that will help me use it as my excursion point...”
“Meanwhile, a team of Jedi on board will try and open a clear path for Luke’s squadron of pilots to get the General’s commandoes base-side.”
Leia nodded. “Supported by Jedi straffing runs, and then the navy blockade will arrive,” she finished.
“Sounds simple !” smirked her husband.
“Isn’t it always ?” smiled Leia.
In the bedroom, the twins glanced at each other.
“You know what I’m thinking, right, Corssy ?” whispered Gana.
“Yep !” came Corsa’s excited reply, sitting up. “There’s no way we’re missing out on this one !”
“We can use the BB2 toy to fool Nanna-droid again...” agreed Gana, and he swung his feet off the edge of the bed. “Pass it here, will you ?”
As Gana dropped to the floor and burrowed under his bed, Corsa fished out the small spherical droid from the end of her bed. Her brother backed out from under the bed clutching a mini assorted tool set. Corsa leaned across and passed him Bee-Bee.
Snuggling it into him to drown out the activation beeps, Gana switched on the droid, and flicked open its diagnostic panel. He took a screwdriver, and applied it to one of the sub-panels inside.
“Don’t forget the correct body temperature setting,” reminded Corsa with a grin, “as well as your snoring.”
“I know, I know,” muttered her brother. “You get the pillows, let me deal with this...”
