Portalocity arrivals area: Saturday Sept 14, afternoon.
Kaidan had sent a text as promised. Carrying and overlarge duffel bag, in the same outfit he'd left the island in. Cargo pants, t-shirt, boots. A little more wear and tear on the boots, the leather of one toe had a distinct bitemark impression from one of the little Kroglettes. He smiled every time he looked at it. She was his favorite, the feisty little runt of the first hatch.
It had been a good few days after a very long month. He still badly needed sleep, but that was a never-ending problem lately, and had been for over a year now. At least maybe now his brain could content itself with something. The mission had been a success. Impromptu and done mostly out of panic, the Hail Mary had succeeded. The galaxy wouldn't be the same, but he couldn't help but think it would be better. Maybe a little more stable. Maybe give him a little more room to breathe for just a little while longer.
He waited for the portal to open and when it did, he stepped through. Back to the island he went.
[For the one or two, could be open if you have a reason to be there, sure. Wanderer returns. OCD below.]

Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
Kaidan blinked at that sudden brief shower of honesty. "Wait, what? If you're thinking any of that then yeah, you do need a smack. Buddy, what? You're not a bad teacher."
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
"She's Force-sensitive."
Because of that.
"That aside, though, a little bit of quality time just shooting the shit, throwing a stick around, swinging some practice swords with you? Back to the normal? I've missed that."
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
"We got another one?" Kaidan asked, "That's good, though. You teaching her. I think you might be the only sane Force-sensitive on this island. Adults, anyway. You said Lana had a good head on her shoulders and Jack seemed to like her." But of course Jack would like the Sith. "How is your pen-pal, anyway?" Kaidan asked with a small grin. Hey, you say shoot the shit, you get shoot the shit.
He wasn't dismissing the last part. He just agreed with it too much to say anything without choking up.
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
Yeah, he got it.
"Threatening to send me the latest in Sith fashion," he reported. "He'd love to have me visit him on Dromund Kaas, it'd get all the other Sith wondering who his new friend is. I'm half-tempted to take him up on the offer just to stir things up for them."
Because Kanan was nothing if not a little shit. Just play dressup and waltz on over to visit the Sith in the heart of the Empire, a few thousand years ago? Couldn't possibly go wrong.
"I'm going to try to get some Jedi robes tailored just for him in retaliation."
Suck it, Vowrawn.
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
Kaidan laughed again, "You know, I could just see you doing that. Dressing up, swanning in, sneering right down your patrician nose at all the Sith you met. Just to mess with 'em."
He looked Kanan up and down and grinned, "So tell me, what's Sith fashion even look like?"
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
"Long dark dresses and shoulder armor too big to fit through most doors, as near as I can figure," Kanan offered. "Going by Vowrawn, anyway. I've never actually seen any Sith in my time."
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
"Dark colors do suit you," Kaidan pointed out, grinning even more, "Haven't seen you in a dress yet, though. Bathrobe, twice." Baby Jedi robes were adorable and tiny!Caleb had been so very serious.
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
"You do occasionally turn into a pretty woman," Kaidan reminded him, "The island's done that before. Not that you'd need to, for a dress."
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
"The island's done that before," Kanan agreed. "And I can't imagine a dress fitted for me as I usually am would sit on me any better than any of my other clothes when I'm a pretty woman. Maybe next time I'll actually remember to get clothing that fits."
A sports bra, at least.
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
"Not with your shoulders, no," Kaidan agreed, "and the lack of padding on your," very deliberate pause, "hips. Kind of a nuisance, really, having to get a whole new wardrobe for it. I planned for it by keeping a bunch of sweats around. Can't go wrong with a drawstring waist."
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
"Well, it doesn't have to be a whole wardrobe," Kanan offered. "It's usually only a couple of days, and it isn't like I'm running out on fancy dates or anything, is it?
He didn't even go on fancy dates when he wasn't shaped like a lady.
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
"Kanan, your idea of 'whole wardrobe' is enough shirts and underwear to get you through the week and like two pairs of pants," Kaidan smirked at him, "In your case, the term fits. Though now I'm trying to picture you on a fancy date in any form, so thanks for that."
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
"I'm not even sure I know what people do on fancy dates," Kanan admitted. "Watch holos? Eat dinner?"
He'd kind of skipped the 'dating' phase back when he was sleeping around with university girls.
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
"Buddy, I am the wrong person to ask," Kaidan laughed, "I only know what I see in the movies and I'm not sure that's even real." Because it wasn't. "The person you want to ask about that is Hernando. He's told me about some of his dates with Sparkle. The guy's made of schmoop."
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
And then another moment to remind himself that Hernando had gone above and beyond in helping him get chocolate for Hera at Valentine's.
... Including being very patient with him while he took some time to throw that chocolate up again.
"You know," he mused, "maybe I actually will. Knowledge worth having, and all."
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
"If anyone you know has done real research into what parts are necessary for a fancy date, it'll be him," Kaidan said with a grin. "I'd ask him myself, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to know. It's not like I'd ever use it, anyway."
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
"Fair enough," Kanan replied, smiling crookedly. "If you see me looking faintly overwhelmed while contemplating fancy suits or something, you'll know exactly what happened."
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
Kaidan's eyebrows shot up. "No, buddy," he teased him, "If I see you contemplating fancy suits, I'm gonna think the island's up to it's crap and take your wallet away from you before you buy something you might regret on Monday. I've met you."
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
Never again.
Until the next time.

Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
"Destroying my razor is just going to end in a full beard instead," Kanan pointed out, amused. "Or me getting my hands on a good knife to do the job with, I suppose. If she wants to break into my apartment on the strange weekends and make off with it, that's fine with me, though. Just so long as I get it back when I'm in my right mind again."
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
Which she probably would. Jack could be terrible, especially when she had permission.
Re: For Jack and/or Kanan
"Hmm, point," Kanan agreed, smirking faintly. "I can see Jack leaning pretty hard into 'no take-backs,' if it came to that." A beat. "You hereby have permission to sit on me if it looks even for a moment like I'm thinking of shaving, though."
