Private Council Duties, Off the Books

[Jonyna Si]

TAG: Ran Serys

Jonyna sat in the cafeteria of the Lifeline, having been pretty much stuck there. Not because of all the work she had to oversee, which was admittedly yet another reason, but because she was now 6 months pregnant.

She was hungry, but then again, she was hungry pretty often nowadays. Pizza and steak only filled her up so much.

Ran had told her she'd meet her here, but she hadn't told Jonyna when.

Hopefully it wouldn't be in the middle of her stuffing her face.

With a cursory scan of the cafeteria, Ran had found her. The Sentinel of Harmony, Jedi Master Jonyna Si, in the middle of stuffing her face. "Having cravings, are we?" Ran teased as she took the seat across from her fellow councilor and friend. "Luckily for you, I have a solution for that, Mummy to be." Ran said moving a portion of nutrient rich green-milk pancakes from her own tray to Jonyna's. "One bite of these and you'll have lost your appetite faster than you can ask 'Why do you like these, Ran?'" The mirialan continued before stuffing her own face so Jonyna wasn't alone.

"So…" Ran gulped. "When are you due? What is the name? Names? Do Cathar have litters? Forgive my ignorance." Ran apologized before taking a deep breath and slowing down from her rapid fire questions and jests about healthy pancakes. "Also how are you? Really." She asked finally. It had been some time since she last saw Jonyna in the flesh. Ran had found her fellow Jedi to be somewhat of a spark plug, always moving and doing something, and it seemed being pregnant had slowed her down even if it was just a bit.

Ran wondered if that would ever be her. So many of Ran's friends, fellow councilors, and contemporaries seemed to be moving on in their personal lives. Engagements, marriage, and children seemed to be almost commonplace in the New Jedi Order. Those that didn't go that path seemed to bury themselves in their work. Ran wondered if either path suited her.

And of course, right in the middle of her taking a bite of steak. Sweet, juicy steak.

Jonyna blushed, pausing to chew, then look at the pancakes.

"Yeah, yeah. I can't help it. You caught me." Jonyna threw her hands up, eyeing those pancakes.

"I'm fine. Just bloated and ready to get it over with." Jonyna pouted, letting out a sigh. Everyone had had the same round of questions thus far. "In about 3 months, and the Docs onboard have told me it's gonna be three of them. Yes, we have litters. I was actually an oddity when I was born, an only child...for a while." She chuckled. She could still feel her sisters and brothers at her back, even now. "As for names...I dunno. I've been flipflopping. It's gonna be a girl and two boys, and I'm just...not really sure yet. Names always come to me in the moment. Nicknames, pet names, stuff like that I come up with on the spot. I don't usually have time to think about this stuff..."
