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.

"Green is rather strange, for somethings like mold it means that the food isn't good any more but then you get veggies and they're supposed to be green. Most of them. Not like radishes or anything like that. But then you have fruit, which is not ready to eat when it's green."

No. Not likely?

Atton rests his chin on his hand, waiting patiently.

There must be something in the food.

"Except limes and green apples, but even then they are green too at the unready to eat stages. We had this tree back at the house that Trev and I used to play in. It was completely green, bark , leaves, fruit flowers. You name it, it was green. When we wanted to hide sometimes we'd dress up in green and climb the tree. It only worked on Naldan though. Mom and dad could always find us."

"Is this going somewhere?" Atton asked amusedly.

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"Not likely. I was just seeing how long I could go on until you asked me to stop."

"The rambling is adorable, and I can tune it out, so really, it's no problem."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"You'd just stare at me while I talked."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"Yep!"

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

Kale chews on a green bean. "I'm not sure how I feel about that."

"You'd prefer I just cut you off when you started rambling?" Atton asks, tilting his head.

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"I don't know. Maybe try and stop me? Or join in?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I'm not a great rambler, but I can stop you."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"Oh yeah? How?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Solemnly: "I have my ways."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

Kale waggles his eyebrows. "I don't believe you."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton waggles his eyebrows back. "You don't have to."

"There is nothing that can stop the great Delvar ramblings! Many students have fallen into a stupor listening to a Delvar ramble about the Force and other things."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"They are formidable," Atton says agreeably.

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

He takes a deep breath and then stops. "I was going to ramble again. But I'm not."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"You needn't stop on my account."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"But the food is getting cold. And that makes me sad."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"S'okay," Atton says comfortingly, putting an arm around Kale. "If you eat quickly, there's still time."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"You're so sweet." He kisses Atton's nose before going back to eating.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"I know."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

He twirls around the fork, looking at his bare fingers a bit of an amused expression on his face. "You know... before I lost ... before I got cut off... I had to wear gloves all the time least I accidentally absorb something."
