Ashala, what little things does Malavai do to make you smile? What are the little things you do to make him smile?

(post-Baras, pre-SoR/KOTXX Ashala)

“I couldn’t say if I really noticed the things he did that made me smile.” She glances down where her hands are clasped in her lap, shrugs. “Not at first. Over time— I realized it was the way he looked first thing in the morning. A... strange notion, you would think, but it was such a far cry to the Malavai that most others saw. It wasn’t just the way he looked — dark hair falling across his face, eyes showing various stages of sleepiness, the way he spoke, voice rough with sleep..."

A pause, as she recollects herself, having apparently gotten off track.

“It’s all very human. Very raw, natural. And when he noticed me smiling at him when he was like that, despite myself... Well, he began to linger in bed. Not rushing off to get up for the day, to become the perfect Imperial officer. I gradually came to realize that he was doing it deliberately, and I just... It’s something I’ve come to love about him, really.”

There’s another pause, then, something like a frown upon her face.

“As for things I’ve done on purpose to make him smile...” Another shrug. “I don’t think I could say. It can be hard to tell, sometimes. I know he’s— he’s very enamoured with me. He smiles more readily at me, than I him. I’m too used to smirking or not smiling at all, I suppose.” She huffs what might be a laugh, faint and tinged with something like regret. “I’d like to say I know I’ve done things — that I do things — to make him smile on purpose, but... I mean, perhaps... I think I’ve noticed him smiling at me when I’m victorious on the battlefield against a particularly skilled adversary. Just this— this small, private, barely there thing. One you can see more in his eyes, because he doesn’t want anyone to notice...”
