That was really good, Val! E'marta was a lot of fun, and so was Jacen (nice that he kept his shirt on, too) . Great job! 
Hi, all! Hopefully, some of you are still around to read this. Yikes! I know it's been a while. I've been dealing with a bored four year old and then a new puppy
Don't worry, Val, your readers will always stick around! We are way too addicted to go anywhere! 
And a new puppy! Awwwwwwww...

I like it!
“Sorry!” Tahiri offered while she wrinkled up her nose. “You could always use the Force,” she suggested teasingly.
“Don’t think I’m not tempted,” Luke answered as he wiped off the mess. Lol, I love that part.
I want more to this story! I want them to fall in love! Well....hmm..how old are they in this, do you think? Aren't they a lot of a years apart?  Lol, oh well, it is fan fiction after all, right? Good job, keep writing about these two! :-D
Oh wait....I just realized something stupid. I read up to the part where Jacen wanted to go around following Tahiri and she said something about sweating....not realizing that you had posted more to this story, lol, my bad!

I like this, its kind of different from the normal Tahiri - Jacen fics; they don't just get together right away.

Thanks, everyone for your encouraging comments! I'm glad you're enjoying the slow progression of their relationship and I hope what's coming up fairly soon won't upset you too much.

Its funny how a 70 year-old can flirt with Jacen, but Tahiri can't! This is a really sweet story; keep it up!

Hey, all! Hope your summer is going well--or your winter for those mates 'down under'! Sorry for the delay in posting. I've been trying to entertain a four year old and housebreak a new puppy. Sheesh! I need a vacation! Anyway, here's a little tidbit!
Enjoy!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jacen dropped Tahiri off at her room so she could shower before dinner with his family. After putting in a full day’s work at Camp Hope, as the refugees now called it, she was desperate to wash the sweat and grime off of her tired body. As she dried herself off and slipped into clean clothes, her mind began to ponder the recent changes in her life. Working at the camp had given her a new purpose, a new direction to travel in life, and she had Jacen to thank for that. She actually felt alive again, like she had something to offer the universe and that she wanted what it had to offer in return.
Smiling was becoming a rediscovered habit, especially when she was around E’marta. It may have seemed strange to someone else, but Tahiri rather admired the old woman. Her resolve and strength to keep on enjoying life despite its hardships were an example the young Jedi had determined to follow. The woman had lost nearly everyone she’d ever cared about and still maintained a positive outlook on life. Tahiri had also lost some of those close to her, had shared some of that grief with E’marta who was quick to give her heartfelt advice.
“There will be plenty of sorrow in this life, child,” the old woman said. “You’ll most likely lose many precious friends by the time you reach my age, but one thing I’ve learned is that when one goes away, he’ll be replaced with another, often better than the first. You just need to make sure your eyes are open so you can recognize him when he shows up.”
E’marta’s words still resonated in Tahiri’s mind days later, and, as she brushed out her hair in front of the mirror, she wondered if Anakin’s ‘replacement’—so to speak—was closer than she realized. Jacen had been the first thing to pop into Tahiri’s mind when E’marta had shared her words of wisdom. Even now, she found herself periodically slipping into silent contemplation about him, often while in his company. A few times he had asked what she was thinking about to which she quickly responded with something silly like “dinner”. Then he would laugh, and she would have to force herself not to stare at him.
It was becoming a little unnerving how attracted she was to him. Once or twice she’d even had the wild urge to jump on him, throw him down on the ground, and press her lips and entire body firmly against his. It was almost a primal, animalistic stirring that she fought fiercely to tamp down. Her only explanation was that it was somehow connected to her Vong self—that set of traits belonging to Riina Kwaad, not Tahiri Veila. But even so, the thought of making such a bold move did have its appeal and had kept her company on several long, restless nights.
Tahiri laughed out loud at her own ridiculousness. ‘Oh, to see the look on Jacen Solo’s face if I ever dared!’ she mused.
Instantly, the memory of her first kiss with Anakin flashed in her mind and the laughter ceased. A wet blanket of guilt wrapped around her heart and an uncomfortable lump lodged in her throat.
‘How dare I think such thoughts!’ she scolded herself. ‘And about Anakin’s brother no less! What is wrong with me? I love Anakin.’
‘But he’s gone,’ a voice whispered in her mind. ‘He’s gone and you’re still here—alive—so live.’
She frowned. This debate was getting old, and she was tiring of the confusion it left behind. So instead of continuing the argument, she finished her hair and headed for dinner with the Solos.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“It’s really amazing the change in her,” Jacen explained while helping his mother set the table. His sister, Jaina, listened in from the kitchen as he continued to describe the progress of his latest ‘project’. “At first she was really quiet and kept to herself at the camp, but now she knows everyone there and has developed quite a friendship with one of the invalids, a real sweet old lady. I’m sure you’ll be able to see the difference tonight at dinner.”
Leia paused and smiled warmly at her son who now towered over her. He had always had such a compassionate nature, something she had feared the Vong would force out of him, only now after all he’d been through she was certain his concern for others was even stronger than ever.
“I’m sure we will, honey. You’ve been good for Tahiri. When you’re going through something so tragic as the loss of a loved one, it’s important not to cut yourself off from the people who care about you.”
“Yeah, kid. Listen to your mother. She knows what she’s talking about,” Han interjected from his comfy seat in the other room.
Leia rolled her eyes. “Well, it would have been nice if you would have listened to that bit of advice a few years ago—darling.”
Jacen waited for his father’s response wondering if he would snap back. Even Jaina had stepped out of the kitchen in expectation of the certain fireworks, but they were all mistaken because Han simply acted like he hadn’t even heard Leia’s last comment. ‘Perhaps he is finally learning after all of these years,’ Leia thought with a chuckle.
Her attention returned to Jacen. “Well, I’m proud of you, dear, for taking the time to befriend Tahiri. Anakin would have appreciated it.” She placed a small hand on his cheek and gazed at him with motherly admiration.
“Thanks, Mom. It’s the least I could do after all Anakin did for me and after all Tahiri’s been through. She’s really a neat kid.”
At this, Jaina stuck her head out of the kitchen again and snorted causing Jacen and Leia to stare at her.
“Kid?” Jaina exclaimed. “She’s not exactly a kid, Jacen—or hadn’t you noticed?”
She delighted in the blush that creeped across his face.
Jacen suddenly felt uncomfortable as he silently answered Jaina’s question in his mind. Sure he had noticed that Tahiri wasn’t a child anymore, but it made it so much less complicated if he could think of her that way. Far too frequently, he was catching himself watching her, admiring her beautiful smile, her twinkling eyes, her pleasing figure. He felt his face heat up even more and knew with just a glance that Jaina had him figured out. What had started out as a friendly overture was somehow turning into something more—something he hadn’t quite expected.
He was seriously attracted to Tahiri Veila.
And that was a problem—one he wasn’t ready to deal with just yet—one, which for tonight, he would choose to ignore.
Who said he never learned anything valuable from his father?
“Yeah, well, I, uh, didn’t mean that she was a little kid, but you know…,” he stammered. Jaina crossed her arms and cocked a single eyebrow not buying his pathetic answer and ready to fire another interesting question his way when the door buzzer sounded. A look of total relief spread across Jacen’s face and Jaina frowned.
“Saved by the bell,” he murmured and then took off to answer the sound.
‘Later, brother dear,’ Jaina sent him through the Force determined to get the information she wanted. For now she’d have to wait.

OK, so when Tahiri is thinking of Jacen, she says she's thinking about dinner, right? So Jacen = dinner . . . yum! Though I think the correct term is actually desert . . .
Great post!

What a great update! Val Solo, I love how you've handled Jacen and Tahiri's romance. Most fics I've read just pushed them right into a relationship, while you took the time to make it grow and be worthwhile. Great job and I look forward to a new post soon.
