Kale/Atton // MM continuity // Kazic III.

"Okay," Atton says, holding the door open for Kale. "We're going to have to stay with my brother until I find us a place of our own. Shouldn't be more than a few days."

The door leads out onto a rectangular white room with a dozen tiers, and large windows looking out on a dark green landscape with a glowing purple sky.

There aren't any people around, currently. It's practically a ghost outpost.

"S'considerate of you."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"I liked living, personally." He reaches up to play with Atton's hair.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton leans down to give Kale slightly easier access, grinning.

"I'm fond of you living too."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

The hair is fondled.

"Where are we staying then, in this desolate place belonging to your brother? It's not the basement is it?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"He has pretty nice quarters, there's a spare room there. So yeah, we'll stay in his spare room while I arrange for us to get quarters of our own."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

Kale approves of this. "Good. I've had enough of basements."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"What, been living in a lot of basements of late?"

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"I spent two years living in Revan's basement."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"What, he didn't let you sleep in his room?"

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

Kale shudders at the thought of it. "... I wouldn't even if he paid me."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton arches an eyebrow.

"Okay then."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"Let's talk about something else," he says.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"But, but I'm curious."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"Please." He says this flatly. It's clearly something he Really Doesn't Want to Talk About.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Sigh.

"Fiiine."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"Thank you." He gives Atton a quick peck on the cheek.

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"S'no problem."

Beat.

"Y'know, you can do better than just a peck to reward me. I'm just saying."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

There's a bit of flash from the Force Bond of a really large antagonism between Kale and Revan (including parts with Kale laughing at Revan hysterically for wearing a collar and several fights.

Not that Kale notices this.

"Is your brother going to walk in any tie soon?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton pretends he doesn't notice. He also wonders why Revan had a collar. His Revan never had a collar.

But then, his Revan was a midget.

"I can lock doors with my minds," Atton says solemnly.

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

Revan was ... with? Carcer from the Discworld.

"You have more than one mind?"

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"No, that was a slip of the tongue."

Or a typo. Whatevs, man.

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"I think there are better things for you to slip your tongue with."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

Atton laughs, waving a hand. The doors click shut around them.

"Y'know, you should show me. Educate me and all."

[hidden-jedi.livejournal.com]

"Useful, the Force is," he murmurs for a moment.

"I should, shouldn't I. That way you won't slip up like that again."

[stuck-mynock.livejournal.com]

"S'very important that I don't."
