[He could tell that transport had some kind of significance but he didn't press the issue.]
That's good because I am not taking him back. Between three cats, Kylo, and Anakin, the house is crowded enough as it is.
[And he pretty much found no peace there except in the evenings, something he had just come to accept something that came with living with Skywalkers and cats.]
[Maketh just drinks. The Kalu had been her first assignment, where she'd been the assistant to an overworked and unhappy lieutenant with the heavy infantry division. It had been the first time she'd realized entire planets could be burned from the sky. An important lesson, in the end.]
[He won't give any details but he knows that there is an expiration date. They can't continue things if or when they return to their galaxy. He cannot allow anything to compromise his work.]
[For now, at least. And it would be much easier if it really was that, a cold arrangement to be ended as circumstances demanded. Both of them know what happens to an officer with a weakness so obvious. It can't be allowed.
But there's no need to say that out loud, is there?
Maketh flicks her hand at Kalu. The cat sneezes. At least it - he? - only has one nose.]
Henry will be back soon. You're welcome to explain your presence to him.
[It's polite to warn him. The lab they've constructed is neutral territory. Maketh's apartment is not.]
[While he had no fear of Henry it was something he would prefer not to deal with today. He downed his glass of whiskey before setting it on the table as he stood. ]

[She shrugs.]
You wouldn't have any reason to. It was a troop transporter. Nothing interesting happened. Not on board, at least.
[There were other incidents, but she doesn't feel like discussing those.]
Hmm? I like him. Or I could potentially like him.

A fate you've imposed upon yourself.
[She says it fondly.]
You and Kylo have stopped fighting, I see.
no subject
Ah yes. We were able to work things out and have decided to continue our arrangement.
[He's still not ready to admit they're dating even if he's sure Maketh can pick up on the truth. She seems more used to these things than he is.]
no subject
Your arrangement. Of course.

Best of luck with the cat.
