25 Unicorn Street- Wednesday

[throughaphase]

Kitty could tell you how many days old Lexi was (fifteen) but unless she was looking at her phone, she was sort of lost on the day of the week. Or usually what time of day it was, since going to sleep and staying asleep all night was probably not a thing that was happening ever again. She changed what loungewear she was wearing every day? Was that a good marker of time?

And yet she still had stuff to do. Work work in addition to other stuff that had to get done around the house and all the baby stuff. She wasn't back to bartending yet, but she was still doing the paperwork side of business running, and so she had her laptop open while Lexi laid on the couch next to her, though the baby kept taking most of her attention. "I thought you were supposed to be helping me work," Kitty told her. "Pick up the slack, kid."

That's a thing?

Eep.

[uncertain_dume]

Kanan huffed out a soft chuckle at that.

Some places, yeah. Pretty uncommon, at least, and I doubt that's something you'll have to worry about.

[throughaphase]

Ooh, that's right, she didn't have powers yet at eight. SCORE.

It was the little things.

[uncertain_dume]

Had you scared for a minute there, did I?

Kanan would feel bad about it if he wasn't busy being quietly amused. Because he was a terrible man.

[throughaphase]

I wake up every two hours even when Clint gets up with her. I'm very slow.

So there.

[uncertain_dume]

Fair enough! The floating stuff is a my galaxy thing, anyway. Some of that Jedi nonsense that I'll try not to scare you with again in the future.

He paused a moment, and then sent a follow-up message.

I don't mind tending bar as long as you need, but if there's anything you want delivered to you or anything while you're both totally exhausted, you know you can tap me in, right? Even if you realize at one in the morning you're out of... what do you run out of at one in the morning?

[throughaphase]

Sanity.

She thought she was cute.

[uncertain_dume]

I can't remember anymore if that comes in bottle form or in bags of grounds, but I'll do what I can.

Kanan could roll with cute.

[throughaphase]

Thank you, I really do appreciate it. I might try to come in Tuesday, depending on if Clint's okay on his own with her for that long. And I might beg for pancakes on Sunday.

[uncertain_dume]

Let me know on Tuesday if you end up needing someone to babysit Tino again, I'm on it. Pancakes, of course, are a guarantee.

[throughaphase]

I will! And sorry I didn't warn you about the Rosa and Seivardening.

Autocorrect had some fun with that one for a while.

[uncertain_dume]

Hey, I'm a Tuesday regular. I didn't need a warning, I see the way those two do... whatever it is they're doing... just fine.

He was mostly sure it was flirting.

Ish?

[throughaphase]

True. Hey, remember when we were betting on them hooking up? Simpler times...

She turned to Lexi and said, "You don't get to hook up with boys in bars until Mommy and Daddy are too old to care."

[uncertain_dume]

Mildly less concerning times. I'm surprised they haven't managed to burn down half the island yet.

He would take some exception to their relationship, whatever it was, if they did, mind.

[throughaphase]

That would be worrying for so many reasons...

[uncertain_dume]

Given the population of this island, I think I would honestly mostly just be impressed if they were to get that far.

Two humans that were skilled but, ostensibly, baseline, versus mutants, Jedi, vampires... who all considered the place home.

[throughaphase]

I'm not actually sure what we're talking about now.

Blame sleep deprivation for all.

[uncertain_dume]

Maybe that's for the best, too. You sure I can't get you anything? Is coffee a thing you can do, now?

Poor Kitty.

[throughaphase]

On one hand, they had coffee here. On the other, different coffee...

I could definitely place a super sugary Perk order. I can't drink it for an hour, but that just gives it time to cool down!

And then, I made is stop for coffee on the way home from the hospital.

[uncertain_dume]

I can appreciate those priorities. You place the order, I'll deliver. I spent a year without caf just by being stranded here, and I at least had other options.

He was pretty damn sure he wouldn't have been able to do it. Ah. Even if he could do it.

[throughaphase]

Kitty sent through the order at the Perk, and a moment later came back with, Order sent. I maybe underestimated how precious caffeine really is.

[uncertain_dume]

It loves you and allows you to function, huh?

Kanan was already on his way toward the Perk.

And now I'm a man on a mission. I'll be around in a few with that life-giving drink for you.

[throughaphase]

And for that, Kanan, you earned seven heart emojis.

[uncertain_dume]

Awww, Kanan felt appreciated. He sent a thumbs-up back, and a few minutes later he was coming around to knock on the door, balancing a drink tray with three drinks in it - he'd asked the barista to make another of whatever Kitty had ordered so she could keep it and reheat it later, and then he'd gotten something for himself - and a bag with some assorted pastries in it, too.

"Special delivery?"

[throughaphase]

Keeping an eye on Lexi- maybe someday she wouldn't be paranoid, she went over to the door to open it and let him in.

"Hello thank you."
