“i’m just saying have you ever seen hideo and ghaul in the same place before? i don’t think so! i’ve connected the dots, okay – i’ve connected them.”

❛    ---   Alright .    ❜        The  Mandalorian’s  tone  is  soft ,  and  lids  flutter  closed  per  Hotaru’s  request .    The  pause  afterwards  was  likely  enough  to  indicate  that  he  had  shut  his  eyes ,  but  Din  lets  out  a  quiet ,    ‘ they’re  closed ’    for  good  measure .    The  sound  of  a  hand  padding  against  beskar  precedes  the  gentle  taking  of  his  own  hand .    Soon ,  Din  can  feel  the  sensation  of  her  lips  pressing  against  his  knuckles .    He  lets  out  a  steady  breath ,  somehow  feeling  the  warmth  through  his  already  gloved  hands .    Before  Hotaru  can  let  go  of  his  hand ,  Din  gently  takes  hold  of  it  for  a  few  moments ,  giving  it  a  reassuring  squeeze  before  letting  her  hand  fall  back  to  her  side .    All  the  while ,  his  eyes  remain  closed ,  so  Hotaru  has  time  to  secure  her  helmet .        ❛    I’ll  be  fine .    ---    Make  sure  the  Child  doesn’t  get  into  any  trouble .    ❜        There’s  a  trace  of  a  smile  in  the  latter  part  of  his  statement ,  though  the  danger  of  his  mark  loomed  over  the  atmosphere .

          the saber in his grasp ignites a brilliant red as he circles the girl on the floor in front of him.   a hunter carefully watching his prey.   she’s untrained, relying solely on the force to try and gain the advantage.   that technique may have worked on the backwater planet she came from, but it would not suit these sessions.      ‘    you’re still not paying attention.     ’      he sighs as he levels the blade under her chin, sparks gleaming off the metal of her jaw.     ‘     control yourself.  now try and attack me again.     ’

        ❛    ---    Can’t  we  just  have  ONE  nice ,  easy  job ?    What’s  wrong  with  that ?    ❜

                 ❝  — don’t go thinkin’ you’re strollin’ through the annex without stopping by ol’ drifter, now.  ❞ his eyes shine in what light the tower has just right, enough to see him for a real moment. but of course he curls back into the shadows. he didn’t join up for nothing. back against the railing, kicking boxes aside, he waves a hand back. she’s fresh — no new blood, but new to him. ❝ you stay so quick to run through everything, you’re gonna miss where real fun starts. ❞  𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙣𝙤𝙬, 𝙝𝙚'𝙨 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙙𝙧𝙪𝙜𝙨. @thndrheart​

          he’s been practically living in the archives for the last couple weeks,  having been pulled up to try and assist osiris with all the sundial business.   cal’s still unsure on why ikora picked him for this job when the cabal have never been his area of expertise.   nonetheless he’s been allowed a reprieve from pouring over all the old documents and has wandered back to his apartment  --  which has turned into their apartment.   she’s already fast asleep when he creeps in,  so he’s careful to move quietly as he undresses and slides under the covers next to her.   a year ago,  cal never thought he would be this attached to anyone,  much less a partially exo warlock with a smile like lightning.   he curls up against her, closing his eyes as he tries to ground himself here in this moment.     ‘     nobody said it was easy, but nobody said it would be this hard.     ’     he mumbles into the dead air,  hoping that maybe she can hear him in her dreams.

YOU’RE  SO  RIGHT  AND  YOU  SHOULD  SAY  IT  !!!
