Not Going Anywhere
A little bit of dialogue practice that I ended up really liking!
Sith AU: A conversation on wants
"I hate that I like talking to you so much. We came here to-to-"
"Fuck?"
"Yes! And I've just been TALKING about ME why am I doing this? And why do you listen?!"
"Well, it's not as if I don't /like/ listening to you. I like knowing that you feel comfortable with me, it makes this feel more...real. Like...like it's more."
"More what?"
"Just, more. Like maybe, you desire me for more than fucking stress relief. I know that I do-I don't know when it happened but, here we are. And I don't want to put words in your mouth, Cu, but I think you'd be lying if you said you didn't feel similiarly."
"Oh, is that /so/."
"Yeah. Tell me again what it is that you hate about this so much that the idea of me wanting you is so horrible?"
"That you'll get HURT okay? You don't need any of this," They spit the next words out, "Information. It's nothing! I'M nothing. But if anyone knew YOU knew, I-I dont even know!"
"Cucumi...I'm not going to get hurt over a few conversations-"
"You already HAVE BEEN. I hurt you." Their eyes burn as they stare at his missing lekku, the injury healed but still fresh.
Tefir balks, "That wasn't on purpose, was it? It was during a fight, that bullet could have killed either of us, it had nothing to do with /this/. And it doesn't matter, you ended up saving me anyway!"
"I had to save you because of. My. Own. Mistake."
"So it /was/ a mistake? Say that again, I really want to be able to hear you admit it."
"What, you like knowing I fucked up?! Sure, yeah, I fucked up BAD-"
He takes their hands then, firm but gentle to quell their shaking and moves to cup their face.
Quietly, "No. I like knowing that we both know you wouldn't hurt me on purpose."
They tremble, jaw clenching.
"So you just like being special to some fucking sith?"
"If that sith is you, yes."
A blink.
"..oh."
They relax minutely into his hold, eyes closing hesitantly.
"I. I'm sorry. 'M just so scared."
He nods, pressing his lips to their forehead and resting there.
"I know. But I'm here, and you're going to have to try harder than the tooka kit claws to get rid of me."
They giggle at this, melting further into his embrace with a shaky sigh.
"Thank you.."

Tefcu and Co. take on New Years Eve 💚 Apologies for the long post, I just love designing outfits for my favorite little family and letting them be happy 🥺
Went with a space theme this year in honor of the narrative (Cucu joining the clan on space adventures once they become official 😌) and also because sun and moon motif for Tefcu is my favorite thing ever-they dressed up as each other <33
I say narrative as if I ever stick to any specific point in time in their story but that's okay, enjoy future happy moments
Also Albara and Orull love baby Winter soooo so much; I imagine the crew schedules things a bit differently in the future, like a month on Coruscant->a month off. When they're home for New Years, everyone INSISTS on Winter being included (which he adores, dressing up and being held by some of his favorite people ever? Hell yeah)
Andddd yes, Orull falls asleep at the table while babysitting so Tef and Cu can dance fjsmgjsjf

Tefir's parents 💙
Bonus full baby tef concept and my chicken scratch thinking about my coastal togruta ideas (bigger pieces abt this....one day 💚)
Togruta who live along the coast evolved to have patterns that let them blend in more easily with the water, since their biggest predator (a big ol dunkle lookin thing) lives just outside of the underwater coral barrier
I imagine more inland togruta who live around lakes/marshes have similar adaptations, less significantly tho (like not always having flatter, rear facing montrals, or longer lekku)
Not much else is different because I can't pretend to Actually be knowledgeable enough for that but as we all know i just adore making alien designs KSCJSKV
