“You work so hard. Take a rest, you deserve it.”

“You’re gorgeous.”

“Impressive! Is there anything you can’t do?”

“Lovely. I’ve never seen anyone move with such grace.”

“Something about the way the light and shadow falls on you, like sun through the leaves... It’s ethereal. Can you even be real?”

“Go on, I’m listening. You’re so lively when you talk about your passions, and I love hearing about them.”

“Don’t be so hard on yourself. Don’t you see how well you’re doing?”

“You are incredibly skilled.”

“Your voice makes me weak.”

“Can I tell you something? I know we haven’t known each other long, but I think you’re amazing. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t believe in love at first sight, but... There’s something about you that draws me in. I want to get to know you — really know you. Is... that okay?”

“I know I’m safe when you’re with me.”

“Love, will you hold me? I miss your touch.”

“You’re so strong~”

“You’re so soft~”

“Oh, you smile like the sun!”

“No, don’t hide your laugh! It’s adorable!”

“Would you like a massage? Come here.”

“You can put your head on my lap, you know. You look like you’re about to topple over from exhaustion.”

“Come here, I’ll hold you.”

“You’re so warm. I’m never letting go of you.”

“Psst, I love you. Just wanted to remind you.”

“You are the most smoochable person there is, y’know? I’m gonna smooch you so much.”

“Of course you can handle yourself. All I’m saying is, if someone disrespects you I will fight them to defend your honor.”

“How are you so good at everything?!”

“You’re amazing.”

“You probably hear this all the time, but I really admire you.”

“Sorry, was a kiss on the hand too forward?”

“You have the cutest blush~”

         ❝ YOU HAVEN’T SEEN MALTA ANYWHERE HAVE YOU ?  i heard commotion from the hangars by ots earlier….starting to get worried. ❞

“No, I haven’t seen him. I’ve been helping Mubo with some new droids he got in yesterday…” Anya answers, and, in noting where the suns are in the sky, an uneasy feeling settles over her.

It wouldn’t be the first time since she arrived in Black Spire that her big brother got so wrapped up in some project or other that she didn’t see him until well after the suns had set and the moons risen, but with what Zade says, that she hasn’t seen him since he left for work early this morning… Well, it’s enough to dim and then altogether disappear her usually ever-present smile.

“What… kind of commotion? The explosion kind? Or the blaster kind?”

SAID BY THE 2 YEAR OLD

“OH NO! NOT BEIGE AGAIN!”

“No nap! No nap ever! Nap gone! Goodbye!”

*gasp* “Cookie?”

“I love you. But…not really. I don’t love you. Bye.”

“Oh man! The gun was in front of the TV I was watching!”

“Take my left shoe off! I can’t do that one!”

“Green is better. Better than anything to ever be.”

“Mac and cheese is my best friend.”

“BEEP BEEP HERE I COME!”

“Take off your hat!”

“Siren! You be quiet!”

“Oh hello there.”

“I don’t want that. Throw it in the garbage.”

“Please don’t leave, [name.] I love you.”

SAID BY THE 5 YEAR OLD

“Just ignore him, he’ll work it out.“

“DID HE JUST SAY STUPID THAT’S NOT NICE I’M CALLING AN AMBULANCE”

“How is it fair that they have ice cream and I don’t? It’s not. It’s not fair.”

*sings the Titanic theme while standing on the back of the couch*

“I want plain bread.”

“Okay, just hear me out, listen to me, just hear me out…”

“LOOK! I’M MAKING A TRAFFIC JAM!”

“What’s Hawaii? That sounds not real.”

“I’m free for snuggles! I’m available! Hello!”

“Ugh! Where have you been? You were in the bathroom sixty years!”

“I don’t want to go, I’m calling in dead. I’m so tired that I’m dead. I’m calling in dead.”

“It’s not creepy! It’s just…not okay.”

“What about snacktime? It’s the most important ‘time’ of the day - next to bathtime and bedtime, but snacktime is still the best.”

“Neighbors don’t exist!”

“Goodbye forever!”

“If it involves fruit snacks, I’m in.”

“I don’t care what your mommy wants!”

“Why is it called a hoodie if you won’t wear the hood? It’s all lies!”

“You can’t leave! Then you won’t be here! And that’s where I like you most!”

“I love you, [name.] I’ll always remember you, even in a long time from now. Yeah. I’ll always love you.”

SAID BY THE 20 YEAR OLD NANNY

“Okay, Spiderman, let’s find your brother.”

“STOP TRYING TO CHOKE ME OUT.”

“There will be no negotiating, this is not a democracy, I am in charge!”

“I’M THE ONE WHO GOT KICKED IN THE FACE, WHY DO I NEED TO GO IN TIMEOUT?”

“You make me simultaneously make me the happiest I’ve ever been and the most upset I’ve ever been. It depends on the day.”

“Can we calm down for thirty seconds?”

“For the love of god, we already had one person in this house who broke their arm, we don’t need another!”

“[name] IT’S TOO QUIET WHAT ARE YOU DOING?”

“You can be mad all you want, I’m not going to apologize for not letting you run into the street!”

“That’s valid and I love you.”

*whispered* “Oh for fucks sake.”

“I will support you in all your dreams in life…except that one, I think that one is illegal.”

“You better appreciate me.”

“So what we’re not going to do…is that.”

“Why are you screaming bloody murder about crackers?”

“Can we just have naptime? That’s all I want.”

“No, McDonalds is not a state, in fact.”

“At least one of you has manners.”

“Listen, buddy, all I’m asking is for you to hold my hand. It’s not the end of the world.”

“End of discussion! No more! We’re done! Period.”

“That? That’s the ‘Confiscation Corner.’ That’s all the things I’ve had to take away from you, because you mishandled them.”

“I love you with all of my heart and soul, but why on earth did you think that was a good idea?”

“I just…do not care.”

“I love you guys so much.”

      ❝ THAT’S WHAT I SAID.❞  and he wasn’t lying, having witnessed malta’s behavior more times than he could count. perks of being the bartender, he supposed; seeing sides of people most didn’t ever get to see. was one of the best perks, really.  ❝ ah, but you see, that was only a tidbit of information you get for free. what can you offer to learn more, anya ?  like i said, info comes with a price, and this seems pretty intriguing to you. ❞

“Oh, come on! You can’t just say something like that and then just leave it there,” she says with an exasperated sigh, turning her back to the bar with a huff.

Honestly. How rude. 

But, if he wants to play the game, she can play the game. She’s quite familiar with this one. It was the way of life in Galma.

Looking back over her shoulder at him, she regards him with a mildly amused expression.

“If this were Galma, I’m sure I’d already have your number and I’d just know what to offer, but I’m new here so I'm not sure what I could trade you. Do you have anything that needs repairs? Or I could… wash dishes for you here, after my shifts over at Mubo’s? What do you think would be a fair trade?”

       ❝ WHILE YOU MAKE A CONVINCING ARGUMENT…. ❞  he goes on, hands pausing in wiping down the table, moving the rag to one side so his arms could fold and rest on the counter, leaning against it with a brow raised.  ❝ like i said, valuable information. haven’t heard anyone else knowing what i know about him. though i’ll give you a bit of free info; he’s a very talkative drunk. likes to complain a lot….mostly about garr. but other times he’s very emotional. ❞

A… talkative drunk? Who complains a lot. Well, gets a laugh out of her and she shakes her head. Of course he is. Why does that not surprise her?

But then he tacks on that last bit, and her head cants to one side at that, her own brow furrowing a bit.

“Emotional? MY brother?” she questions in obvious disbelief and with more than a little curiosity.

“Emotional like… what?”

[nowandtilthespire]

kallidae​:

        ❝ HMMM DEPENDS…..what do you have to offer ?  this is quite a bit of valuable information. could cause harm to his reputation. need a good price to part with it, anya. ❞

She decides right away that she likes the bartender. Not only is he easy on the eyes––hey! even if he’s older than her brother, she can still look!––but he’s funny, too. 

“The only reputation my big brother seems to have around here is for being overly stressed and barely keeping OTS running and in one piece.”

[ Well, being the best engineer in the outpost, too, but. That’s not anything funny. She’s actually pretty proud of him for that. ]

“C’mon. Do you realize how much I’ve missed out on in ten cycles? As a younger sister, I have been robbed. How can I tease him when I don’t know anything recent?”

[ How can she tease someone she barely knows anymore? ]

“What do you think would be a fair price?”

[nowandtilthespire]

[ a starter for @spirekept​ because I swore it would be an ask but it was just a little too lengthy ]

It hadn't been all that difficult. After all, she had never kept terribly much of her own. She never had much use for THINGS. Some favorite clothes. Her tool kit. A few other sentimental items. That was all it took for her pack up. It took even less to leave. As much as she loves her parents and her younger brother, she refuses to call Galma her home and she refuses to get caught up in everything that it is and to avoid it was becoming more and more difficult by the day.

She had spoken with her parents, and Father had been reluctant. Mother had hedged. We should discuss this more soon, and we should first speak with your brother. 

But she knows what that means. It means that they would prefer to keep her close and soon might never come. It was just a matter of finding a reason as to why.

So, leaving a recorded holo-message on her bed, off she went without so much as a backwards glance and how freeing that was! To know that Galma was behind her and Black Spire ahead!

By the time she reaches the Outpost, she’s all smiles and pent up energy. It’s so amazing! It’s so much nicer and cleaner than Galma and her smiles are met with other smiles rather than scowls and there are old women weaving baskets and vendors selling all sorts of things and no one had even tried to steal her duffle bag or pick her pocket (yet) and––! She instantly loves it! 

She greets everyone who so much as looks her direction, practically bouncing on her feet anytime she stops to look at something in one of the many stalls.

At length, however, the market given at least a cursory exploration and a few pleasant exchanges of conversation––as well as a snack obtained from a fruit vendor––she turns her step toward her destination.

Ohnaka Transport Solutions!

By the time she gets there, she’s absolutely beaming and beyond excited. She’s going to get to see Malta here at Black Spire! She asks someone standing outside admiring some disaster of a YT-model––though she doesn’t say anything to them about that because it might be theirs!––if he knows her brother and if he’s working today, and the old Weequay grins and laughs and tells her that he’ll send him her way.

With that assurance, she turns her gaze back to the ship, trying to decide what had been so interesting about it. 

Can it even still fly?

Exciting news! I have finally gotten my muse page sorted. Brief descriptions have been added and all of the characters are posted. This has included an update of removing Salju who may now be found at @lightinhersmile and the addition of Anya Malikon, @spirekept‘s younger sister (their creation for Malta’s backstory/family but they’re allowing me to write her!).

If anyone has any questions or something is off with the muse page coding, just let me know as I sometimes fumble a bit with this.
