Glad we are in agreement, then.

[goazon]

We are. I won't try again.

[apparare]

( Because he can't keep his fucking mouth shut apparently - )

Why are you acting like this is such a surprise?

[goazon]

Why are you bothering to ask me this? You're getting what you want.

[apparare]

I'm looking for clarification.

[goazon]

I'm not surprised. It's very sensible.

[apparare]

Great.

here let her assist

[goazon]

What?

[apparare]

What?

[goazon]

Did you expect an argument?

[apparare]

What about 'great' would lead you to that conclusion? I was right. We both know it. End of story.

[goazon]

Good, I'm relieved.

[apparare]

Likewise.

[goazon]

[ Many hours later. ]

Seven letter word for an aquatic species, also known as 'squid heads'.

( She's lucky he's actively working, or her crossword might have forever gone unanswered. )

Quarren. You're doing a crossword now?

[goazon]

[ Like he could stay away. ]

Perfect, thank you. I do things beyond training and eating you know.

[apparare]

( Fair. A crossword puzzle cannot be denied. )

Crosswords never really crossed my mind as your kind of hobby. What time is it, where you are?

[goazon]

If you must know they're good to practice letters with, you can set these puzzles to trace the letters with your finger instead of typing.

[ It feels weird to tell him that. All of this is weird. ]

[apparare]

( Hold up. )

Do you not know how to write?

( It honestly never occurred to him, even though the majority of the galaxy relies on more up-to-date methods of communication. )

[goazon]

No. Salvaged Imerperial terminals have a wealth of information but penmanship isn't included.

[apparare]

To be fair, it is a somewhat outdated mode of communication. Most people type. Or use holos.

[goazon]

I know it's rare but I like that everyone's looks different, like a fingerprint. Can you write?

[apparare]

Handwriting is a blessing and a curse.

( She should see Han's, except. )

Yes, I can write. I learned as a child.

[goazon]

It's probably nicer than this.

[ Attached is a screen shot of her half finished crossword puzzle, filled in with letters that look as though they might have been written by a drunk toddler. ]

[apparare]

Marginally.

( That isn't, strictly speaking, true: his penmanship is excellent almost as if out of spite. )

I was able to learn on paper, with ink, which I believe gives me a slight advantage, but it isn't as though those materials are readily available. There are programs you can download to simulate, though. Do you have a stylus?

( Also, almost as an afterthought - )

15 across is incorrect.
