Reykal and Alivar doing a pinky swear OR au Reykal and Eris doing a pinky swear please and thank you 🥺

Hi so it took me a million years to get to this but I finally did

don't ask me what the promise is; trying to answer that is half the reason it took me this long to get around to drawing this fjkdgsf

“Alivar Encounters Problems Trying To Raise A Child Of Another Species (That Happens To Be Predatory)” part... 3 or 4 I’ve lost count

He’s trying his best, and for the most part he actually does very well, but, uh. Every once in a while Reykal does something that throws his poor Mirialan sensibilities for an unexpected loop. Like hunting down and catching a rat in the ship’s cargo bay with her bare teeth. (She was polite enough to not try to eat it right away, at least.)

Bonus:

For the OC Fluff Questionaire! #8 and #20 for Alivar? :D

Send me OC fluff asks!

Thanks so much for the ask! :D

8. What do they act like when drunk?

Alivar’s a flirt to begin with, and he only gets worse about it when drunk - he’s under the impression he’s much smoother than he actually is when inebriated. But he is cute about it, not obnoxious at least (not most of the time anyway), so it’s not the worst possible outcome. (Although usually when he gets into bar fights, it’s because somebody took offense and he failed to pick up on it, rather than because he swung first.)

20. Hoodies, knit sweaters, wool coats or just a blanket to stay warm?

Hoodies and big coats for sure - he’s not opposed to wrapping up in a blanket when at home, it just never occurs to him unless someone else suggests it. Mirial’s a pretty cold planet, so he doesn’t get cold as fast as a lot of people do, but he likes wrapping up in something warm and soft that he can still move freely in when he does.

1, 7 and 20 for the headcanons? :)) (~Dina)

Send me association asks!

Thanks so much for the ask! :D

1. Likes their music loud

Alivar - unfortunately for him, adopting a Togruta child means he has to tone it down a little for the sake of her significantly more sensitive hearing xD

7. Wants to just lay down and not move

is “me” a valid answer

Garen would like a nap please

20. Talks in song lyrics

Eidorrah probably quotes songs and sings to themself in private a lot, though not so much in public; Alivar also likes to quote songs, but the difference is he thinks he’s smooth enough to make people think that’s not what he’s doing. He only sometimes succeeds.

Prompts - "I'll still be here when you wake"? 🥺

My first thought was Eris/Vector, because of course it was, but I’ve written a lot of them lately, so - have something else instead.

(Also available on AO3 under I’ll Be Here When You Wake by Dragonheart37!)

Summary: Alivar wakes up in the middle of the night to find the young orphan Togruta he recently rescued awake and crying, and does his best to comfort her. Set at some nebulous point after the Smuggler storyline finishes, except I haven't actually finished the Smuggler storyline myself yet so no allusions to plot will be made. Set between Alivar trying (and failing) to leave Reykal behind after leaving the planet he found her on and him giving up on finding a place she can stay and just adopting her instead.

-----

Alivar woke with a start, though he couldn't say what had woken him. He hadn't been dreaming, as far as he could remember.

The hallway light was on. Who was up at this hour? No one was usually moving around during the night cycle, and the only people on the Silver Jakkbar right now were him, his crew, and -

Oh. The Togruta kid.

He sighed and got out of bed.

She'd turned the lights on in every room she'd passed through, it seemed like, so it wasn't hard to track her to the cargo bay. Alivar caught the sound of sniffling and paused, trying to locate it. He settled on a stack of crates near the back well and approached slowly, knowing she'd probably already heard his footsteps. “Kid?” he asked. “You back there?”

A pause, followed by a huge sniff and a pair of red-and-white montrals slowly poking up over the edge of one of the crates, then big golden eyes, pale blue skin around them purpled from crying. “Aw, hey, kid,” Alivar sighed. “Is it okay if I come back there?”

Reykal sniffed again and nodded slowly, wiping her eyes with one hand. He moved around the crates until he could see her curled up behind the stack in a space too small for him to follow her into, then crouched down to her level. “Hey, kid. Can't sleep?”

She shook her head.

“Bad dreams?”

She nodded, tears welling up in her eyes again.

Can't blame her. “Want to talk about it?”

She shook her head again, face sinking slowly behind her knees.

“That's all right, you don't have to.” He hesitated, then sat down all the way. “You want a hug?”

She flew into his arms almost before he'd finished the sentence, as soon as he opened them to offer it. If he hadn't sat down already, he probably would have been knocked over. She hid her face, arms locked around his neck as he hugged her back. “Hey, easy, kid. I've got you.”

He let her cry herself out like that, rubbing her back gently and trying not to complain when her arms tightened enough to risk choking him. “We should get you back to bed,” he murmured at last. “It's too late for a kid like you to still be up.”

Reykal shook her head, tightening her grip on him and making a noise of protest into his neck. He paused. “C'mon, kid. You can't stay here all night. It's too cold. You'll freeze your toes off.” He poked the sole of her bare foot lightly as he said it, and she twitched away and giggled a little. “C'mon. Can I pick you up?”

She nodded, and he heaved himself to his feet, holding her up on his hip. “Alright, let's go.”

He made it into her room before she started protesting, clinging to him tighter and shaking her head, whining softly when he tried to put her down on the bed. “Hey, hey, easy, kid,” he soothed, pausing. “Can you tell me what's wrong?”

She hesitated, face twisting like she might start crying again, and Alivar murmured, “Hey, it's okay. I'll guess, and you can nod yes or no. Okay?” She nodded slowly.

Alivar paused to think, blowing out a breath as he did. “You don't want to go to sleep?”

She looked away, shrugging.

Think. Where did she go? Cargo bay. But why? “You went somewhere else,” he mumbled, half to himself. “Why? Is it something about the room?”

She shook her head. “Something else, then.” He racked his brain, trying to think. Why cargo bay?

Something occurred to him. “That's where I found you when you first snuck onto the ship,” he said slowly. “And afterward, when Bowdaar scared you by accident and you ran and hid. You... you wanted me to find you again?”

Reykal nodded slowly, not meeting his eyes, and he chuckled a little. “Kid, you could've just come to my room. I don't mind.” She shrugged. He hefted her a little higher on his hip; she was getting heavy, but she clearly didn't want to be put down. “You want to come sleep with me?” he asked gently.

She nodded, much more enthusiastically this time, though still not looking at him. That's okay. Poor kid. She just doesn't want to be alone. “Alright. C'mon, then, let's go.”

This time when he tried to set her down, on his bed instead of her own, she let go of him, if somewhat reluctantly. “There we go.” He booped her nose lightly, making her giggle a little, and climbed into bed after her. “Alright, kid, time for bed.”

Reykal curled into his chest, making him lift his head so his chin rested between her stubby montrals, and huddled against him. “'S okay, kid,” he murmured. “I'm not going anywhere. I'll still be here when you wake up. Promise.”

She must have believed him, because she was asleep in minutes.

👪for Alivar?

Send me reaction asks!

Thanks for the ask!!

👪- They see their family (specify if desired)

Oh boy, making me develop his backstory a bit more on the spot. :P

First off, in terms of current (found) family - Alivar loves his crew and his daughter more than life itself. He’s always happiest when with them, especially if they’ve been apart for a while.

In terms of his birth family... things are kind of tense between them. I don’t think his family approves of his current very criminal enterprise, and while I also don’t think they’ve outright disowned him or anything, there’s definitely tension there. So I imagine his reaction to seeing them again would be mostly apprehension, maybe combined with confusion if it wasn’t a planned visit - the tentative hopefulness gets pushed to the back lest it be crushed a little too soon.
