#leia || xenia solo

"xenia." leia started as soon as she saw her sister in law sprawled out on her throne, waiting at the end of the dais with a raised eyebrow. "you know you're not allowed to sit up there. thank you for keeping it warm for me." she laughed a little, despite the seriousness in her tone.

"but it's still a good point!" she grinned back at her, knowing that it wasn't entirely the point, but it was fun to see xenia get so riled up with little work on her end. her ability to get under a solo's skin still as strong as ever. "don't lend any of your tricks to the rest of congress, please." she wasn't that worried about taking some extra time, if her family actually wanted to spend time with her, she was going to take full advantage of that. "right. forget it asked." plausible deniability and all that. she did not need to hear about xenia's.. history in that department. "you do not need to be an agent for me, xenia, please. i have plenty, i'll just make sure ahsoka adds a few more to my rotation. but really, i have a good idea of the people around here that want me dead, it's not anything to worry about."

"that's not the point you know!" she commented with a playful frown. really she was completely fine and it was clear she would be, but why not ham it up a little. "really i'm the perfect distraction from anything. i'll yap and yap and yap some more. perfect for a filibuster." the way she grinned was to show off just how proud she was of that fact. oh and probably the fact she didn't really feel like leaving. "...uhhhh, no?" it came out as a question but she really would prefer if leia didn't ask. who really wanted to tell their sister in law how many times they'd killed someone. not her at least. "it would make me feel better. heck don't make me get out there and be an agent. i can handle a weapon." they would also have to ignore the fact she'd make the world's worst agent. probably.

"and the bruise will heal, won't it?" leia laughed, knowing that there was absolutely no way that was the case, but she played along. "or as another distraction that keeps me from ever actually reading through all the files congress sends my way? you know, if you're worse than any filibuster i've ever seen." it wasn't as if leia was in any rush to push her sister in law out, enjoying the company regardless. it was a nice break from the constant string of meetings she had otherwise. "do i even want to know why you know what successful assassinations look like?" how she married into a family of criminals after being a karking princess would always remain a mystery to her. "i promise, it's nothing to worry about. but if it makes you feel better, i will make sure ahsoka puts some more agents on the grounds. i am sure i know who has it out for me, though, xenia, i'm not worried."

"you don't know that! i could have a giant bruise on my arm!" in typical xenia fashion she went for the dramatics, though in the end she couldn't help but grin and clearly give herself away. "there is a point to be made there: why leave when i could just be your constant ray of sunshine to get you through the day?" she teased. really she would leave if leia truly wanted her to. perhaps her ego might be a bit wounded, but it wasn't like she wanted to upset her sister in law either. "if you say so, but i'm still worried. i've seen first hand what a successful attempt looks like." she was just going to omit that she was on the dealing blow of some of those attempts. it wasn't like leia needed to know that. who did? "i'm just saying maybe get more security or something. this city has to be swarming with people who want to be heroes."

[mcrcki]

"the pen didn't hit you that hard, you're not wounded." she teased, shaking her head. of all the solos, it seemed as though xenia was winning as her favorite more often than not. "also, it's not like you'd actually leave, i think ahsoka would have to drag you out of here if that was the case." she teased, shrugging off the concern coming from her sister in law. "someone's always trying to kill me. i've had a bounty on my head since i was nineteen." she wasn't even that phased by the assassination attempt. honestly, she just wanted to know who it was from. "she knocked out my guards before anyone could act. i had been up, it's the only reason i wasn't caught off guard. i can hold my own against assassination attempts, xenia, you don't have to worry."

when the pen came her way xenia was able to move just in time, giving a soft laugh. "you really want me to go? i'm wounded." a playful pout formed on her face; but really she wasn't going anywhere. in fact she cemented herself further in to a seat. "someone tried to kill you?" she questioned with concern and a raised eyebrow. "i mean you were a queen so like... it makes sense but also how did no one stop it?!

[mcrcki]

"i don't think i can exactly argue that." she laughed a little, having definitely appreciated the unexpected drop ins. it was nice to just have a small break from work for a few moments, considering leia would never give herself a break otherwise. leia tossed a pen lightly towards xenia at the title, rolling her eyes. "alright, you can go now." she replied with a laugh. "i suppose i'm better now, considering someone tried to kill me during all of that, i'm happy to be back where there's security cameras."

"you know i feel my presence is appreciated so much more with the element of surprise." there was a joking tone to xenia's voice as she walked in to her office. it was strange that she felt it... well, easier to talk to leia over han. not that either was easy at the end of the day she merely served to be the family annoyance really. "it went fine. i'm doing fine. how are you doing, your majesty?" she teased with a grin.

"knocking is definitely still encouraged, you know, xenia." leia smiled a little at her sister in law as she walked into her office, closing the files on her desk and tucking them away before she fully looked up at the other. "how did adjusting back to our normal timeline go? are you doing alright?"

"never. but that doesn't mean i don't like messing with you a little." there was a soft grin that pulled on to the corners of her lips as she toyed with the idea of just plopping down in han's throne. "the list is already getting rather lengthy, we don't need to see it get longer." that didn't mean that she wasn't tempted of course. "i can always get extra padding? it's not like i do much anyways."

[mcrcki]

"please, you know leia is fine." she appreciated that the family knew to play it safe with certain settings, but moments like these, all she wanted was to have some sense of normalcy. especially with this place being so.. strange. she needed to just be leia, and only leia. "sit in your brother's then." she laughed a little, gathering up her skirts to take her seat before xenia could slither back on when she wasn't looking. "trust me, it seems comfortable until you're sitting here for hours at a time. awful back support."

"leia---i mean your royal highness." it was still strange for her sister in law to be royalty. not just any royalty, but the big royalty. so when the throne was open for just sitting in? she couldn't help herself. what was it like? was it comfortable? or was leia just faking that it was? now she could confirm it was indeed comfortable and she couldn't help just getting herself comfortable on it. a pout came on her lips as she slowly began to slink herself off the throne. "i know, i know. but it was too tempting!" how the hell did her brother of all people manage to marry up like that.

[mcrcki]

"no, it's not. but since when have you ever cared about my proper title." she couldn't remember a time that xenia ever made to sure to address leia by whatever title was most prominent a the time, except perhaps to mess with her. "just add it to the list of things han will never let you live down." she laughed, knowing that han didn't exactly like to use the throne anyways, she wasn't sure it had been sat in more than necessary. "there's always been things with higher priorities than extra padding for my throne."

"please, you know leia is fine." she appreciated that the family knew to play it safe with certain settings, but moments like these, all she wanted was to have some sense of normalcy. especially with this place being so.. strange. she needed to just be leia, and only leia. "sit in your brother's then." she laughed a little, gathering up her skirts to take her seat before xenia could slither back on when she wasn't looking. "trust me, it seems comfortable until you're sitting here for hours at a time. awful back support."
