Private This is Our Beginning Coming to an End [Daiya]

[Cassus Akovin]

OOC: Discord RP transcribed into posts and Canonized on the Board now that I am out of my little vacation. Standby for Post-Fall...

Cassus arrives at Daiya's residence after their meeting in the Tatt-chat. He decided to arrive earlier than the designated meeting time before Anakin was expected to arrive. He knocks on the door, wearing his usual getup, mask included.

 

[Daiya]

Daiya jumps off the bed, haphazardly straightened in her rush to make the apartment presentable. She had on only a tank top with her shorts, her blanket piled nearby when her apartment's bipolar climate control kicks up a notch. She gets to the door, arranging her hair so it drapes over one shoulder, and then piling it down her back again, before opening the door.

"Oh, where's Anakin?"

 

[Cassus Akovin]

"He'll be around a little later. Sore wing and what not." He peers in. "I hope that's alright?"

 

[Daiya]

"Yeah, okay." She steps back to let him in, wearing a nervous grin as she lifts her arms toward the rest of her tiny apartment. "Well, here it is."

 

[Cassus Akovin]

"Cute pet." He retracted the mask. "I don't suppose you're hungry?"

 

[Daiya]

"Pet?" She looks around until her eyes settled on the stuffed animal. "Oh, yeah. Isn't he adorable?"

She closes the door and then goes over to sit on the bed, leaning back and grabbing the toy from behind her head. Tossing off the headphones, she cuddles it against her chest.

"Umm, I could eat I guess."

 

[Cassus Akovin]

Cassus sets a backpack down, kneels down, and starts rummaging through it. His eyes are focused on its contents.
"What do you like?"

 

[Daiya]

Daiya looks suspiciously at the backpack, pulling her feet up onto the bed as well.

"Whatcha got, Pool Boy?"

 

[Cassus Akovin]

"I wasn't sure what you had, and didn't want to impose any more than usual, so I brought some spices, some fruits, veggies, and a couple of meats from my ship. I figured I could keep my hands busy while we talked. May I borrow your hotplate or should I use my own?"

 

[Daiya]

"Did you forget the kitchen sink?"

 

[Cassus Akovin]

"Why what's wrong with yours? I can go back and-"
He realizes he's being made fun of.
"Listen, I just come prepared is all. Never know when you might need this junk."
He looks at Daiya's kitchen situation.
"Would you mind if I, um, cleaned your dishes?"

 

[Daiya]

Daiya giggles for a moment. She's rarely seen Cassus flustered, and it's good to see him off his guard for once. "Uhhh, I guess."

She scoots off the bed and leaves the plushie behind, crossing over to the tiny kitchenette. It's barely big enough to call it that, and she's stacked a few dirty take-out containers there for putting out with the garbage later.

"I meant to take these out..."

 

[Cassus Akovin]

"You actually eat that stuff?"
He starts clearing space where he can

 

[Daiya]

"What else would I eat? I'm not really a cook, so I don't use that much."

She shrugs her slender shoulders, suddenly self-conscious again. She clears off the garbage, taking it over to a bag set by the door.

"It makes it too hot in here, too, the landlord never keeps the coolant refilled for the climate systems."

 

[Cassus Akovin]

He frowns.
"Sorry, didn't intend to judge. I was just raised... differently.*
He pauses a moment.
"Did you, want to hear about it?"

 

[Daiya]

"Uhh, do I want to hear about your childhood?" She giggles nervously, then wryly. "I guess..."

Daiya goes back to sit down, rolling her eyes while Cassus can't see her. She sits on the edge of the bed, pulling the blanket up and over her shoulders, wiggling them to fit snugly into the comfortable pose.

"Go right ahead."

 

[Cassus Akovin]

"Okay" Cassus says simply
"First, do you care for spicy food or mild?"

 

[Daiya]

"Are we talking Corellian spicy or just a little bit of spicy?"

 

[Cassus Akovin]

"Devaronian spice, actually. I got a taste of it after that arena business. I can keep it mild if you aren't game."

 

[Daiya]

"I'm game for whatever you can dish, Pool Boy."
