#garsa

• Garsa making sure to introduce Din to any of her new employees with fun piercings

○ waits to see which ones make his eyes go /really/ big

○ tattles to Fennec

• Din probably brings up much more permanent flesh tunnels after seeing them on lunch

○ Tunnels make for more closure options

§ ribbon

§ fine chain

§ padlocks

• And a triangle piercing as an anchor point for his clit cage

this is specifically a chapter after The Actual Piercing takes place

yaaaaaaasssss 👏👏👏👌👌

• the squad are comfortable taking Din to Garsa to feed

○ prior to Bobannec admitting to each other that they weren't human, Garsa had been helping Fennec with her own feeding

○ Fennec goes to Garsa for some clean blackmarket blood with no questions asked

○ "you think i don't recognize Cambion when I meet them? those teeth aren't exactly subtle if you know what you're looking at. I'll set up some volunteers and a guaranteed clean bloodbank."

• Taking Din to the palace medical droid: well that's a malnourished definitely-not-a-human but idk i thought i told you to feed him more

○ food doesn't work

• Taking Din to Garsa: my sweet idiots. my darlings. please take this boy home and fuck him senseless and then bring him back here to be fucked more.

○ she ABSOLUTELY WOULD say it that way tho

○ the droid 💯 has no idea what Din is bc Din's Cubi traits are so stunted, the poor baby 🥺🖤

○ Garsa has a lot of knowledge abt species bc she's an equal opportunity employer

§ didn't recognize Din as Cubi bc he's always always /always/ wearing his armor over so many layers, so he looks bulkier.

§ notices that he starts spending more time at her place as his partners withdraw

§ notices how exhausted he is, how he falls asleep on the couch in her office

§ the whole thing comes out and she /loses her shit/ abt how malnourished he is

□ Din always feels better after visiting Garsa

® he writes it off as time with a friend or whatever

® its bc the ambient energy + ppl paying attention to him, even non-sexually.

§ she notices something's wrong but she doesn't realize /what/ it is until they come to her in desperation because the medical droid couldn't help them.

□ Once she sees him with his armour off she's PISSED

□ (but also deeply deeply guilty that she didn't pick up on it either, even knowing she couldn't have)

• Garsa's furious when she sees how thin Din is when she finally sees him out of armour.

○ And then she's just heartbroken for him when Boba points out that in their defence, as much weight as Din's lost since they started withdrawing, he still looks better than he did when they all got together

• originally Garsa thinks he's just touch starved so she goes out of her way to sit next to him on the couch and let him lean against her or fall asleep in her lap. the armor is uncomfortable and heavy but she doesn't mind if it helps Din. if she has to go out and about she drags him along with a hand tucked into his elbow and they walk around like victorian-era couples. he always seems so much better after visiting, more rested and happier tho still a bit down.

• 🥺🥺🥺 He gets easy affection from her and it's hardly enough but it makes him feel so much better when his mates are starting to withdraw. He just doesn't think much of it because.... Well, he's been lonely, of course he feels better after having a nice time with a friend

• Garsa taking Din aside to gently coax him into conversations that address his exhaustion, the fact he's spending more time at her sanctuary as his partners withdraw

○ he's reticent, but he lets her force him on their walks arm-in-arm

○ she is so patient with his quiet sadness

○ and the worst part ? Din /gets it/, he knows that they're busy doing important stuff. he's trying so hard not to be a uselessly needy clingy burden. but he misses them /so much/ and it /hurts/ and he's so tired even tho he's not the one really /doing/ anything
