"You know, I'm actually kind of glad you booted on me," He muttered as he stuck a leg into the showering unit and turned it on full blast. "No pun intended, of course."

He thought he could make out a weak smile on Jaina's face as she slowly lifted her head from the toilet bowl she'd been hugging.

"Booted? That's a new one," Kyp said with a grin. The jedi master was crouched alongside Jaina, holding back a handful of her hair.

"Just another slang term we had back home," Brodey explained, pulling a drenched leg from the shower and carefully sticking the other one in. Finally determining that he was going to be soaked no matter what, Brodey sighed and stepped in entirely.

"I like it!" Jaina declared rather loudly, and Brodey poked his head out of the shower to see her grinning widely at him.

'Good to see she's maintaining a sense of humor through all of this,' He thought with a smirk.

'We'll see if she still thinks it's so funny come tomorrow morning,' Kyp thought back.

'Damn it, Durron, stay out of my head!' Brodey thought, sending a spike of annoyance in Kyp's direction.

'Quit thinking so loudly,' Kyp simply replied.

Brodey emerged from the shower, his boots squelching as he walked back out to the living room.

"Where do you think you're going? You're not just going to leave her with me, are you?" Kyp called out to him.

"Sadly, no. Though you do deserve it for allowing her to drink so much," Brodey snapped back. "I'm changing back into my work clothes. At least they're relatively dry."

"Relatively? Brodey, you better not smell even worse when you come back in here! I don't think I could take it," Kyp groaned.

"What's the matter, Kyp? Smell getting to you?" Brodey grinned, suddenly popping back through the door. His footwear had been discarded rather quickly, leaving him barefoot. He stood there in what looked like a pair of jumpsuit pants that had been cut off at the knee. Kyp wrinkled his nose as the smell of sweat from Brodey's clothes wafted toward him. "Need a break?"

Kyp nodded and gratefully relinquished his position next to Jaina. She didn't seem to notice or care about any smell coming from Brodey, as she was still very engrossed in her own activities.
