[action] hahha wow I can't write today

[neverjoinyou]

[Luke stares at him for a moment, then starts to laugh.]

That's... not how the Force works. No, I liked him, and I named my cat after him.

[action] It's cool, Hux auto-assumes the worst in people

[worstweasley]

[He turns a bit red with embarrassment, but this is a far better solution than what he was imagining]

Isn't it dangerous to keep a pet here?

[It doesn't come out as a threat. Hux bends down to coax Sinjir over]

[Sinjir, after a moment, is true to his namesake and nonchalantly submits to being called over. Attention is better than nothing, after all.]

I wouldn't have thought of it, myself. One day, the place was full of cats. Talking cats. It was... Well. That's a whole other story. [It involves Luke in a skirt, Hux.] They stopped talking, but some of them stuck around.

[Hux is...weirdly gentle with Sinjir, stroking him carefully with a bare hand, after pulling his glove off to do so.

He stands, realizing this is not particularly the impression he wants to give off, before nodding shortly]

He looks healthy.

[Luke smiles with a little glow of pride.]

Good. I've never had a pet. Not really... a good idea, on Tatooine.

[action]

[worstweasley]

No.

[He looks down at Sinjir again, considering]

When he gets to be a few years old, you'll want to get him for his dental hygiene exam. Especially if you've been feeding him from your plate.

[Luke figures someone on board will know what to do, but surprised by the advice, he nods gratefully.]

Oh. Okay. I wouldn't have thought of that. [He pauses for a moment.] You... had a cat?

[He gives a brief nod, before turning to exit]

Perhaps some other time, I'll come by.

[action]

[neverjoinyou]

Any time.

[He says it matter-of-factly, like he really means it. And he does.]

Thank you.

[Hux has a rather constipated look on his face at being thanked by Luke Skywalker. He gives a tight nod in return, his way of saying you're welcome without outright saying it, before disappearing from Luke's cabin through the door]
