While I sure do love having my precious moments spread around the ship like an episode of Dawson's Creek, I can't help but think most of you aren't making the best of this - admittedly awful - situation. Sure, it sucks, but it has its perks.

Which is to say: nyah, nyah, guess which one of us got to fly the Millennium Falcon?

No, this is a 'I'm from his future' thing. Hi there. Name's Jaina Solo. Who the kriff are you?

[leaps]

Hikaru Sulu. [ beat ] Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu.

[carbonite]

You're really going to make my kid call you Lieutenant Sulu?

[theswordofthejedi]

He's welcome to try.

[carbonite]

You know, I prefer to give him a hard time. Since he's such an important guy.

[theswordofthejedi]

Since when does someone gotta think they're important for you to prefer giving them a hard time?

[carbonite]

You know me, I give something its due.

[leaps]

No. Does introducing myself with my rank bother you?

[theswordofthejedi]

[A snort. At least she's amused, not actually irritated?]

Buddy, your title means about as much to me as my introducing myself as Knight Solo probably means to you. What do you say we just stick to our names and save us both the headaches of pretending we care about the current lifetime achievements of the other?

[leaps]

It's not about achievements. [ though it is, on some level. ] It's how I'd introduce myself at home. I've been here...a while.

[ some weird way of saying he's homesick but-- ]

Most people call me Sulu.

[theswordofthejedi]

Nice to meet you. Most folks call me Jaina whenever my dad's around, since Solo is usually reserved for him. Personally, I'm fine with either. I've pretty much heard it all.

[And now that that's out of the way.]

So how long is a while?

[leaps]

I've been here since the sixth jump. I've seen it all, by now.

[ that's absolutely a joke, sulu doubts he's seen anything yet. ]
