Hera never brings him food herself. She does usually help prepare it – she has a better sense of the Terran diet than most, and when it comes down to it, she doesn't fully trust the others not to poison a meal they know is going to their half-Terran 'guest.' But she always finds someone she does trust to take it into him. And then, at first, she'd waited, leaving him to eat alone before she entered his room.

She kept to the first. But the second, she gradually eased. Hera remembered how total her isolation had been, and what had eased in her when she'd grown used to sharing meals. That was something she could do, even if she wouldn't serve him.

So the time she waits becomes shorter and shorter. Until today, when it's only a few minutes after seeing Muroc exit the makeshift cabin that she approaches. She nods to the guard, and then though she doesn't have to, she knocks on the door. She doesn't wait for an answer before entering the room.

Good, he doesn't say, and for more than one reason.

But he does manage to keep up, at least once she starts in on the first set again. Everything other than that --

It's a wash. But he tries.

Any relaxation that's settled into him is gone again, and he looks toward the door.

"Back to my room, huh?"

"Okay."

His hands are a little shaky as he picks up the cups, and he picks a corner of the room that lets him get a good view of the door, but sit he does.

And waits for whatever Hera is going to do next.

Kanan looks from the pieces, to the board, back to Hera.

It seems like the answer should be obvious, but he asks anyway.

"Do you like to play?"
notallofus: (ummm)

[personal profile] notallofus 2018-08-16 04:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Kanan lifts both eyebrows, he can't quite help himself.

"Do you play against all your enemies?"
notallofus: (ummm)

"You think it'd help me understand Terrans?"

"It is," he slumps a little, reaching out to put the white pieces in their place -- mimicking her assembly where he's uncertain.

"And I think I'd like to learn."

"It's a Terran game," he emphasizes. "And I'm not, really."

He's not looking at her while he says that.

"Long live the king."

Kanan's voice is bitter, and he flinches at the sound. He didn't intend to say it like that.

"If only that were true," Kanan mutters, then shoves that voice down and away, because now is not the time.

"Sorry. Which one's the strongest, then?"
notallofus: (Default)

[personal profile] notallofus 2018-08-16 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Kanan watches her for a long, silent moment.

"Hard to anticipate, then?"

[personal profile] notallofus 2018-08-16 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
There's a wariness in his gaze again.

"Only most of the time?"
