Caritas- Tuesday

[throughaphase]

It always took a couple days to adjust to the time change, and that was before there was a tiny person who wasn't fantastic about sleeping through the night.

Kitty has a very large coffee with her at the bar today. Tiny seemed to be timing how fast she drank it, and the only reason she wasn't chugging it was to throw him off.

[Im so tired. Help me.]

"Admittedly, it was less funny in the moment," Kanan replied. "If my ship had gone into free-fall, I'd still be there, most likely."

[throughaphase]

"That really would suck," she said, more seriously. "And imagine Hera having to get that call to come get you."

[uncertain_dume]

"I can picture me calling now. 'Hera, how are you with monkeys?'"

Because really. That damn monkey.

[throughaphase]

"Having to explain that she can find you in a kingdom of caring..."

She was determined not to laugh again.

[uncertain_dume]

"But she'll have to navigate a forest of feelings?"

At this rate, Kanan was gonna do some laughing, himself.

[throughaphase]

"It sounds like a come on that's also a prank," she said.

[uncertain_dume]

"Aaaand that's why I'm thankful I didn't have to call for a rescue in the Forest of Feelings," Kanan confessed. "My feelings are weird enough to navigate even without throwing an actual, literal forest into the mix."

And then he probably would have had to take romance advice from, like, an elephant or something.

[throughaphase]

"Well, it's not like the cutest acts like truth day here, right? So 'come find me in the forest of feelings' is really more of a metaphor in that case," Kitty reasoned.

[uncertain_dume]

"... Fair enough," Kanan allowed. And then paused. "If I ever give a line like that to Hera, I fully expect her to slug me for it, though."

In fact, he kind of hoped she did. That was awful.

[throughaphase]

"She'd be right to. And that's even before any monkeys get involved."

Not smiling! Totally not!

[uncertain_dume]

"The monkey's name was 'Playful Heart,'" Kanan offered.

Because really, that just made it worse, somehow.

[throughaphase]

"You're making this up," she said.

[uncertain_dume]

"The lion's name was Brave Heart," Kanan added, smirking. "I can't make this up, Kitty."

[throughaphase]

""I mean, you e gotta be pretty brave to poke a total stranger like that."

Yeah, she was done.

[uncertain_dume]

... Please hold, Kitty. Kanan needed to just...

Just crack up for a minute.

Yup.

[throughaphase]

"I'm so glad you came n today," Kitty said, getting a napkin to try and save her eyeliner.

[uncertain_dume]

"I never regret making the time," Kanan replied, smiling crookedly and ducking his head. "Helps me navigate this forest of feelings I live with."

[throughaphase]

"It's okay," she said, failing at a straight face, "you can consider this bar a kingdom of caring."

[uncertain_dume]

And here in this bar, people were inclined to Care-a-lot?

Shame Kanan hadn't heard of that place, it would've been great.

"Next time," he laughed, shaking his head, "I'm going to bring you on a supply run, Kitty. Just you wait."
