Poe coughs to cover both the blush moving up his cheeks and the silence that met Finn’s question. Not really a question, honestly, considering he had just kissed Finn like he’d been wanting to do for a while and that’s probably a better answer then any Poe could  actually say with his worse. Especially when he’s milliseconds away from stammering out some apology. Instead, he steps back, runs a hand through his curls and lets his eyes look anywhere except back at Finn.

“Yeah? I guess? Or, no, it wasn’t and we can both pretend this didn’t happen?” Please, don’t that be the way Finn wants to go, but Poe will respect his wishes, even as it breaks his heart.

If he’s being honest , he still does not feel comfortable in his own skin. His body , yes. That isn’t the problem. The problem is that , after all this time and all he’s done , he’s still nothing more —nor less— than his father’s son , and it is TIRING. Tiring because despite being called by his name , he knows what it means , hears the connotation. And he’s fed up with it. Working at the ministry was always meant to be a temporary thing. He loves his father , but he does not love becoming him. Nor will he resign himself to doing so. And while Cedric has accepted that , Amos seems to STRUGGLE , and so the two of them haven’t been able to have a progressive conversation since . . . well , maybe since he was born now that he thinks about it. Amos had never minded having a son. He only minded having a mediocre son , a son that could be QUESTIONED. 

So Cedric’s kept to himself for months now , existing in the shadows of the ministry to the best of his ability. He’d been trapped in his father’s department for over a month before he’d managed to convince Kingsley to reassign him , and now , although he’s still trapped in Amos’s shadow , he does everything in his power to elude the elder Diggory , if only because Cedric isn’t prepared to LIE. 

But today has been trying enough without the bussle of the ministry. Because today , Cedric had successfully —albeit not all too peacefully— moved out of his parents’ house. It was the first time in a long time that Amos had thrown an actual tantrum , and the ringing in Cedric’s ears invoked by his shrieking still hadn’t faded. He’s trying to drown it out amidst the crowds of muggle London , searching for furniture and - whatever else he’s meant to have in his own space. It takes his mind off the hostility he no doubt shares with his father. Who would have thought that coming out to his Dominican father would be easier than moving out of his house? 

🌎 - Jaina has a negative association with so many planets that it’s hard for her to keep track. Basically, any planet on which she’s ever been held hostage, dropped against her will, had to murder members of her own family, had awful things happen to people she loves, or had to fend for herself as a teenager against incredible odds. So... a ton. Corellia, Ryloth, Hapes... It’s a very, very long list. That being said, because there are so many, she’s probably willing to give most of them another chance. 

...Except Ryloth. That messed-up, climatic nightmare can go fuck itself. 

💊- Jaina thinks the spice trade is pretty disgusting overall. It harms people and their families and it kills people. A good rule of thumb, according to Jaina, is that anything that a Hutt considers profitable is probably an industry to stay away from. 

Send a 👫and I’ll write four headcanons I have about our muse’s relationship

1) It’s real weird, right? Considering like how uncmfortable Jaina’s love for the Mandos and her closeness with Mirta makes people feel, it’s kinda odd, but I think MIrta is probably the cosest thing to a best girlfriend Jaina’s had in a long time. It’s got a lot to do with the fact that MItra just is. She’s never contrived or trying to hide her real self from Jaina. Sometimes they agree on thigns, sometimes they don’t. Jaina would have happily given ehr the what for for working with the Qrephs you know but she stiill respects that Mirta makes her own choices and they can have a civil relationship despite those differences. (Shes still getting an earful about Ves though. Please, Mirta, don’t hang out with that little punk.)

2) Mirta 100% was the one who got the few girls in her wedding and Jaina herself entriely blitzed for whatever passes as a bachellorette party in space. Jaina invited her and her friend came on planetwith plenty of booze and not one of them got up the next day without a hangover and they wouldn’t have it any other way.

3) This is hard canon divergence (see the above lol) but I refuse the idea that they stopped being friends because of Jacen. The whole reason they became friends was because Jaina needed help learning to fight her twin and win, and for the friendship to fall apart once that happened just because Jacen had hurt Mirta seems... off? For me, once Jaina had healed up a little, mentally and physically, she went to find her friend and make sure they were still good because she wasn’t ready to lose the few people she still had after all these wars.

“Valid question, sweetheart,” he shrugged lightly, turning his gaze to follow his wife’s eyeline. “However, I’m not so sure that ‘rescuing’ is what he needs this time.” 

Even if Luke was taking his time figuring out what was right under his nose, it was obvious to Han and-- apparently-- to Leia. “I know you don’t like it so well, but I think she suits him.” 

And he did. As much as Mara Jade could suit anyone, that is. This flirting thing that the two of them seemed to do any time they ended up at the same event, these days was basically hilarious. Especially because he had a very good feeling that Luke was oblivious.

G. is your muse good at gift - giving or do they struggle to get it right?

I don’t think that Ben thinks he is, but he is. He’s intuitive, and I think that he understands people better than he thinks, so he probably thinks that what he is giving as a gift is stupid, but it’s probably a lovely and well-thought out gift to whoever receives it.

J. does your muse get jealous in a relationship?

Probably not, honestly. Ben sort of operates on a ‘what is going to happen is going to happen’ wavelength, so if someone thinks little enough of him to cheat on him, then he’ll cut his losses and be hurt, but it’s not worth obsessing about when there isn’t anything you can do about it.

His previous heartbreak has taught him that if someone wants to hurt you, they’re definitely going to do it regardless. So. On their head be it, though, because his aunt and cousin aren’t as charitable in their thoughts on the subject. 

X. does your muse use / like pet names?

He doesn’t know. He’s never been given one by a romantic interest. He’ll get back to you on that one. 

C. does your muse like chocolate? which one is their favourite?

“Kad was having a preteen hormonal melt down.I sent him to his room and proceeded to aggressively clean the armory for a few hours. Actually… when I got over being furious and annoyed at his harebrained antics and direct disobedience, the scene was a little hilarious… in retrospect, anyway.”

Etain smiles, but there’s a hint of hesitance there, too. It’s true that she’s been blessed in a way- no one she’s ever really loved has told her they hate her. That doesn’t mean she didn’t dream about it for months and months on end before she told Darman she was pregnant, that she’d had his baby. That the possibility of it hadn’t consumed her in those seemingly endless three days where they hadn’t spoke.

That she doesn’t still sometimes have nightmares where he’ll turn cold towards her, where he’s finally seen how little she deserves the second chance, and wake up sobbing until he wakes and asks her what’s wrong, pulls her into his arms, all concern for the thing she never explains to him. 

But Etain has long practice wondering who around her secretly might find her distasteful behind a Jedi-like or professional mask of civility. Or worse, who among the Jedi might she be tempted to love only to find no one cares about her enough to hate her, that she is easily forgotten.

At least she knows Darman better than that. She doesn’t think it will ever happen, but if the time ever comes when he despises her, he won’t be cruel enough to drag it out. He’ll break her heart quickly rather than making her guess.
