oooh 23 for bastra and jaro?

softer world prompts

we talk in the dark as we fall asleep, and we are objects in the night sky outside of time. (it is the exact opposite of alone)

“I’ll admit,” Jaro says in lieu of any sensible greeting, heedless of the way Bastra startles. “I can’t fathom what you’re doing here.”

The city lights of Daiyu glare vibrant neon that reflects off the pooling water on the street. It doesn’t fully mask the grime that coats every conceivable surface, but it does well to draw the eye away.

“I’m doing the same as everyone else on this planet, looking for something.”

Bastra pays no mind to the gentle fall of rain – it won’t soak through his clothes any time soon, and he can’t be bothered to move from his perch on the roof of a dilapidated inn. With one leg tucked close to his chest and the other dangling over the edge, he has a comfortable vantage point over the bustle that never ends, no matter the hour.

He hears Jaro huff a sigh and sees him, out the corner of his eye, sit cross-legged at his side. Almost close enough for their thighs to touch. Into the space between them, he asks, “What are you looking for? Something, or someone?”

Scowling, Bastra tears his gaze away from the street to look up at Jaro’s face, which is angled further up toward the clouds. “I can multitask, can't I?"

"Of course," Jaro grants, "I only hope you've thought this through."

That makes two of them, for whatever it's worth.

"More or less. I need credits to travel, so I need a job. There's not much else to it."

He watches Jaro's ears twitch back, the surest sign of his disapproval. For a man with a face like a locked vault, his ears always cracked the combination. Saved Bastra from putting his foot in his mouth more than once.

"I wonder if you're chasing these goals you claim are so straightforward, or if you're still running away."

"Fuck off."

"I will not."

"I'm not running away," Bastra hisses, then deliberately unclenches his jaw. "There's nothing left to run from except death, and I'm not currently interested in letting that catch up with me."

Imperial efforts to hunt down the few Jedi who escaped the Purge ebb and flow, but have generally waned over the years. He can travel relatively freely, as long as he keeps his head down and doesn't draw attention. Odd jobs keep him going. It's aimless, at times, but it's something.

Jaro bristles, scratching idly at his beard. An old habit that never died. "It seems to have caught up with you, all the same."

Bastra snorts, even though it's not funny. "Sure, your death follows me relentlessly. My own will have to work harder to catch up."

He's still only halfway convinced that he hasn't lost his mind, and these visits from Jaro aren't just complex hallucinations. At best, the Force truly does work in mysterious ways. At worst, well. He gets a very convincing construct to talk to.

The first time it happened – whatever it is – he shut down, couldn't speak, couldn't move, couldn't breathe. The second wasn't much better. Jaro stopped trying to explain and simply shared his space after a few more, and something eventually clicked in the back of Bastra's mind. Whether it clicked into or out of place is up for debate.

With fear and shock and confusion worn away, the hardest part is how real it feels– how real he feels. The illusion is incredible, but not perfect.

Jaro's eyes don't reflect the glaring neon lights of Daiyu when he meets Bastra's gaze. His clothes and hair and fur are unmoved by the wind. Every detail of his features, all the way down to signs of age, is exactly as Bastra remembers from before. He's a snapshot, displaced from his time and stubbornly refusing to rest.

"You shouldn't taunt fate, Bastra," he chastises, but there's fondness in his tone. Relief, maybe. "She comes for us all, in the end."

They're close enough that their thighs could touch, but an insurmountable cavern apart. Fate will come for him in the end, but maybe his family will be there too. "How long do you have?"

Before they lose this strand of connection.

Jaro's shoulders drop, almost imperceptibly. "Not long enough."

"Hm." He can't tangle their hands together, but his fingers itch with sense memory, and he would, if he could. "Thank you. For being here at all."

There are nights when thinks it won't be the price on his head, or hunger, or exposure, or a stray blaster bolt, or a speeder crash, or anything else that kills him. When he thinks it might be the loneliness that does it.

This, at least, is the exact opposite of alone.

Maybe, possibly, he'll actually pick up Cal's trail, and that won't be alone either.

Arvid Cairn was a kind person.

There was no doubt about that.

He was always so good with the children and never minded with people used him for warmth in the winter as he worked. It wasn’t rare to find younglings or padawans in the woodworking hall dozing or doing course work against and around him. One or two often culling to his tail. And he would always take time to show the younglings how to carve if they wanted to, no matter how busy his schedule was.

He never seemed bothered by people just coming to talk to him, and there were few he didn’t get along with, even though there weren’t as who knew much about him outside of the artisan halls.

He never was bothered when Cal would fall asleep on him and he had to return the boy to his master, Arvid’s own closest friend, Jaro Tapal.

And he always looked out for the Jedi who worked under him as the Head of the Woodworking Artisan Department.

And even though he didn’t quite understand the clones all the time, he always did his best to see and talk eye to eye with them. Extending a familial kindness to Thorn after Turu admitted his budding relationship with the clone and how could he not?

Turu was his second, his former student.

He would welcome anyone that he wanted to form a relationship with.

He would agree to let clones into the workshops because the shore leave clones got restless and some were curious. He was rather pleased to say that a few of the men picked up hand carving as a form of pastime.

And outside of the Order and the War, how he acted with Dex’s children. He had no trouble slotting into the position of “second dad” for Onyx, and even though D and Nim were older, he still was considered to be like a father figure.

There was no doubt that Dex loved him, and he, Dex. There were those in the Order who disagreed, but in the end, many saw no harm in it. Where other Jedi would become attached, Arvid was responsible and talked through it with the other Masters. There was little doubt that he was a good person, and a kind person.

Was. Because even kindness ends.

It is not to say that he was not kind in the end. He remained kind and good until the end.

But it is because his end was cut short, and that is the reason it ended.

By going to Coco town to visit Dex and Onyx when Order 66 hit, he willingly took several shots and a stab to the chest in order to minimize the damage that would’ve been caused to the surrounding citizens if he dodged. Because he was kind, and cared, and he was a Jedi in the end.

Save many at the sacrifice of a few, save citizens and innocents as the sacrifice of his own life.

Still, he proved to be resilient and incapacitated the clones before staggering the rest of the way to the Diner. There was confusion, but nothing he could do while heavily injured.

He was kind until death.

Arvid Cairn dies, bleeding out and collapsed against his daughter. His daughter who calls for her father, who feels the life drain out of him. Even as he tried his hardest to stay awake, to grasp at life, mumbling about how he loved her and her father and brother and sibling and she had to stay safe in the coming days.

He really was a good Jedi. He really did try his absolute best.

And he loved until death.

Arvid Cairn: Reference Sheet

You'd think that the first full character ref sheet (or at least partial one) I'd get out woul be like. Ashe's or Mari's but nope. Dragon Jedi.

More under the cut // click for better quality // reblogs appreciated, reposts not alloed

Arvid Cairn is a Jedi Master and member of the Artisan Department as their current Woodworking division head— and is often found in the Woodworkers' Shop in the Artisan Halls if he's not in the Gardens or walking around the Temple. Born in 67 BBY, he's decent friends with his fellow Jedi Master, Jaro Tapal, something that stemmed from when they were initates together as Arvid's rather mellow and tired demenor meant that the louder and more reckless intates and padawans didn't bother him too much— allowing for a quiet safe heaven for those who needed it (Jaro lmao). Arvid apparently doesn't think all that much about Jaro's relationship with their fellow, younger Jedi, Bastra Vargdan, aside from telling the Zabrak that if Jaro annoys him too much (something Jaro takes offense to, but what are best friends for) to come find him. Something similar to how he treats most other "non code complient" relationships that he ends up finding out about. Because of his lack of criticism towards those Jedi, they in turn do not look too much at his own relationship with the Diner Owner, Dexter "Dex" Jettster, who he is reletively happy with. Arvid has a good relationship with all three of Dex's adopted children— Nim , "D", and Onyx Bores Jettister— though he doesn't often have time to go to CoCo Town once the war starts. He has been noted to be a very kind and calm individual to most, though has been seen to become irritable if bothered for too, too long about something he doesn't wish to discuss. This could be in part due to the fact that he is constantly tired. His tiredness is often attributed to the fact that he gets poor sleep due to being unable to sleep on his back and finding sleeping on his stomach, side, or sitting up can be uncomfortable. Arvid has a higher body temprature than the average sentient due to being what is known as a Molten Born Drakeh— someone who is born from the blood of a fire dragon— and so it is not rare to find children or animals nestled up against him in the colder seasons. For cultural reasons, his hands have been tattoo-dyed and he also bears tattoos in the same scale pattern of his mother on both his arms. Occasionally he will adorn his horns with jewelry, but that is only for special occasions. He has had one padawan, who gifted him the earring he dons on his right ear and prefers to wear more dress like clothing due to his legs being more zoomorphic and having joints that bend back— allowing for much stronger leg power than many other sentiants would average. His fingernails are also stronger than a humns and grow to be more like claws than nails— his teeth are similar in that they're more pointed and sharp. Most of Arvid's clothing is custom tailored for his tail, which is rather strong and powerful, and often young children like to hang on it— much to his amusment. Despite his low energy, Arvid is known to be a strong opponent to face, being very fast due to his legs and having the physical prowess of a nonhuman sentiant despite appearing to be near human. Arvid, by human standards, would be transgender, FTM, though reportedly only goes by masculine pronouns because of the convenience. But he'll respond to anything and finds gender to be a strange thing in general.
