Mixed Muses continuity: Kale and Atton.

[stuck_mynock]

Atton doesn't celebrate Earth holidays, but he does have that particular eagerness to please that means he revels in the chance to give stuff to people.

This is why, when he saw Kale in the bar, he - without any kind of preceding explanation save 'I've got something for you! - grabbed his hand and started pulling him, with all the fervor of a very excitable puppy, up the stairs.

"Okay. This might be a little weird," Atton says, and touches Kale's forehead.

There's a chime, and then the abrupt presence of another mind - made all the more unnerving by the fact that Atton's mind is very tangibly not human. There are a variety of reasons for this: He's Kazic, and Kazic are only Near-Human, refined by evolution to be hunters and survivalists. He's exceptionally, ridiculously powerful, and you don't get to be such a strong focus point for the Force without drifting away from your humanity. And his experiences and training have altered his mindscape in ways it should not have been altered.

The result is that he feels more like an overly intelligent predatory animal than a regular human.

"For you too..." Kale murmurs.

Kale's mind, on the other hand is a disorganization of more than several people. He was never strong in the Force; Delvars tend for quantity and not power. There's a whole bunch of them, but only a few who could make it to Jedi Master level. In his mind, there are very forceful personalities. Revan is one, and a strong one. It probably is because he's the ancestor of the Devlar line that he stays so strong. Luke Skywalker, the Exile, Trever, and just bits and pieces of floatsum and jestum personalities.

Some how there is a sense of 'Kaleness" but it's loosely threaded between everything.

Atton chuckles. "This is going to be a weird bond, with the two of us."

"Least we shouldn't be able to screw each other up any more?"

Low, amused: "Hey, most of this is natural for me. I mean, being messed up didn't help, but still." Pause. "This'll only take a moment."

It does, indeed, only take a moment. It's remarkably quick and easy to form a bond.

He blinks. It's the first time he's felt a bond in over a year. For him it's always been a natural state of mind to be bonded to someone else, Trever mostly. A bit of the ache and emptiness has gone because of it, Atton's not Trever, but he's close enough for now.

Kale lets out a gusty sigh of relief that he didn't even knew he needed to let out.

"Feeling better?"

Doing his best impression of a cat going boneless, Kale flops against Atton. "Much."

"Good."
