hasit | knock you down a peg

[After the dust settles, after her own business is resolved, Leia finally gets to come and visit Gravity Falls. It's a quaint place, and different from how she'd imagined it, but she's surprised, come evening time, how much it reminds her of Endor. Tall trees framing the night sky, the late summer moon hung low in the sky. Mabel and Dipper left not two days ago, and the house is alarmingly quiet in their absence. But after everything, Leia's not complaining about silence. About being alone in a house with Stan, the crickets and frogs singing through the open windows.

She stretches out next to Stan in bed, the lamp next to them turned down low. One hand smooths through his hair, pushing it away from his forehead, and she kisses him on the nose.]

You know, I've been thinking.

[It's not hard, judging by the tone of her voice, exactly what topic she's been thinking about.]

[To say that Stan was happy to get to show Leia around the town that had, at some point, become his home was an understatement. He showed her the shack, and took her out into the forests (he'd had to punt a gnome that started trying to get a little too curious about her). The kids did most of the showing her around town, but he tagged along for that, too.

But now the kids had headed back to Piedmont, and this was starting to feel more like a honeymoon than a family gathering. Which was definitely not unwelcome.

He has an arm wrapped around her shoulders, fingers stroking idle patterns up and down her upper arm where she stretches out next to him.]

Oh yeah? [He raises an eyebrow curiously, a sly grin curling over his face.] What's on your mind, Starshine?
