MCA #3, Sunday Evening

Kanan was in a pretty good mood tonight, all things considered. His day at work had been... not uneventful, but not terrible. The mynocks had been a bit of a hydrospanner in the works, sure, but those had been relocated back into the freezer more or less without incident, and as much as he dreaded the idea that Summer and Sabine were friends now, it was a welcome sort of dread. A fun sort of dread?

Hell, he trusted them both. Sure, he trusted them both to give him a difficult time, but that was an important part of their dynamic.

Or something.

He shrugged as he cut a piece of meat from the steak he was preparing in the kitchen, tossing it casually to the dog who was waiting patiently a few feet away.

"Yeah, yeah," Kanan chuckled, shaking his head at Stance. "I already know you'd help Summer do any crazy thing she wants. She's amassing an army and I'm doomed."

He seemed pretty okay with this, really.

"Stance would help anyone do anything," Hera said, setting a Coke in front of Kanan and opening her own. "Summer said she'd thought of sneaking the meiloorun into the apartment. I told her she'd probably end up slobbered all over."

"She wasn't really deterred, no," Hera answered, smiling. She leaned back next to Kanan, their sides touching. "If we suddenly find meiloorun in all our cabinets and a pile of drool on the floor, we know who to blame.

Hera chuckled and leaned forward to scritch his ears.

When she straightened up, she sobered and glanced over at Kanan. "I meant to tell you yesterday, but we kept missing each other. I had a couple conversations."

"There's a box of cupcakes in the fridge," Hera nodded at it. "I talked with Hernando. I don't know what's between the two of you, but I know it's been hurting you."

She nudged him a little with her shoulder. "He said he needs to get his brain together, and I encouraged him to call you when he does, to set up a time to sit down face to face and talk. Texts aren't the best way of doing that sort of thing."

"I know," Hera said. "I think it would do you good, but you certainly don't have to. I'm also willing to keep getting the cupcakes as long as you want."

She sighed. "I'm more worried about something else he told me, which seems to be part of a worrisome pattern. Apparently Kaidan forbade him from talking to you."

"I suppose so, if that's when you last heard from him," Hera said. "I talked to Kaidan himself on Friday. He told me he wasn't letting you two talk." Her tone said what she thought of that.

Hera hummed and nodded. "That sounds more reasonable. If you want to wait, or never talk to him again, that's up to you. As long as it is up to you."

She sighed. "The language Kaidan used about you... It's the way people talk about children, or people with head injuries. I know he's your friend, but I worry about that."

Hera smiled at that. "That sounds a lot like what I told him. That you've always been able to rely on yourself, that you need to know you don't need to do it yourself, not that you can't."

She poked him lightly in the back with a lek. "Not that you've always gotten it exactly right, no, but nobody does. That's just life."

"I'm glad." Hera gave him an uncertain smile. "I know you've been hurting lately. I'd just like to know it's a healing hurt, not a harmful one, and that you're on board for it."

"A lot of people are," Hera said. "Sometimes it's easier to see things from outside. And sometimes, outside is too far away to see things accurately." She shook her head. "That's why I'm asking, and why I told him to."

She settled in a little closer. "I know even I can't really understand what it's like to be Jedi, let alone what it's like to be Jedi back home the way things are now. If I ever do anything wrong because of that, I hope you'll tell me." She chuckled. "Not that you're often shy with your opinions."

"I try to be," Hera said. She leaned her head against his, one lek curling up behind his neck. "But like I said, everyone makes mistakes. You're stuck with me; that won't change if we disagree."

"That's also entirely possible," Hera said cheerfully.

"I also know you're still better than you think you are," Hera countered, smiling back. "And I'm still happy to call you crew."
