Private (Flashback) Keep Hope Alive

[Jairdain]

It had been long enough that Jairdain was confident in introducing her brother to her fiancé. A man she was going to marry and spend the rest of his life with. She knew he would die long before she ever would, but planned to make it as meaningful as she could.

Letting Vulps know they were coming, she didn't keep their destination secret. The borders had been opened, and they would be welcomed on Verdune. This planet could have been her home, but she had kept her life separate from her brother's and only visited occasionally.

The last time she had been here, she had still been married to Yuroic, and he had died several years ago. She really should talk to Vulps more often. Sighing as they came in through the atmosphere, her ship knew where to go and landed at the spaceport.

"It'll be fine. I hope you left your droid behind."

To say the two of them didn't get along would be an understatement. If Jairdain could hate, that droid was as close as she could get. All of them knew it too. She also figured if he were along, it would have made the trip insufferable and he might have gotten spaced.

"Come on. He's going to be meeting us."

The worst part of getting engaged is that Jax has to meet Jairs in laws. Not that he wont think that they won’t like him, it’s more about ensuring the upcoming embarrassment. Jax didn’t do well among family getups. He never had a family beyond the NJO, the Silvers, and the friends he made. So when Jairdain dragged Jax to meet his brother, all Jax could do was gulp and remain silent.

“I don’t know Jair,” Jax shrugged. “Maybe BB could liven the place up ya know?” He knew that Jair wouldn’t like that answer but for the first time, maybe BB-12 would make for a perfect distraction. “He’s out in Malastare clubbing so we won’t be hearing from him for a while.”

Jair wanted to ditch the droid, Jax as annoyed as he as with BB, he was his friend. So Jax decided to pick him up when he was ready.

“How’s your brother?” Jax asked. “I think we only met a few times? I don’t remember.” He took a deep breath. “Will he even like me?” Jax said staring at Jair.
