AU Kid Ibani 9th Birthday

[last_kallig]

It's been a year, exactly, since Ibani first set foot in the Temple of the Kyber. Which means it's Ibani's 9th birthday.

Ibani has forgotten this, which is why she's still sound asleep. (She's not used to HAVING a birthday, and last year they had to celebrate later.)

"It is a player who is too good at the game for his or her own good if they aren't wary of the players they're reaping credits from." Chirrut replies with a hint of the wolfish grin that comes out during his more vicious battles. "You'll have to practice a lot to be so proficient."

Baze laughs. "Don't underestimate our daughter, Chirrut. I bet she'll be better than you before too long."

Baze bids the shopkeeper farewell and leads their little group to the café. He orders tea for the three of them--sadly, there's no sapir--and guides his friend and their daughter to a set of chairs.

After quickly explaining the rules and dealing out the cards, Baze finds out exactly how much Chirrut remembers. He's glad they're not playing for credits.

"I don't mind practicing a lot!" Ibani explains, grinning.

Thankfully, she's not as much of a natural at THIS as she is at staffwork, or every gambling den in Nijedha would be in peril!

Still, she's picking the game up more quickly than would be usual in someone her age. Chirrut and Ibani are mopping the floor with Baze. Poor Baze.
