"What does the name you call me mean?" I ask.
"Be'shmai?" he replies. "There . . . there is no adequate human word for it."
"What about inadequate words, then?
His answer is very soft. "Beloved."
Aurora O'Malley & Kal Gilwraeth from Aurora Cycle.
(I love them, your honor. Maybe he reminds me of Mr. Spock a little bit. Someone see the Star Trek in it? Tyler is like a baby and more chaotic Kirk I suppose. Scarlet should be like a more flirty Uhura, Idk about Zila, and well... I lost the count. But Kal has so much of Spock and vulcans 👀: the pointy ears, the warrior species, the breeding mating season, being a little bit akward... yeah, i connected the dots. I didn't did shit)
auroras end spoilers with absolutely zero context
(you can safely view this without spoiling anything, but just in case any of you are zila like intelligent-)

I was just thinking about how Kal almost always calls Auri by a term of endearment—be’shmai—and was like what if Auri also had petnames for Kal
Auri: hey baby
Kal:
Kal: I’m nineteen?
Kal: I was bred for destruction and cruelty, I am not a baby?
Also yes I’m aware of Aurora Burning’s ending but in the next book they’re gonna fix it and apologize and make up (and make out—) because I don’t accept otherwise
Aurora + Kal vacationing in Australia
Hotel Clerk: hey mate! What can I do for ya today?!
Kal: She is not your mate. She is my mate. Step away from her before I crush your windpipe
Clerk: sorry mate! Didn't mean to offend ya!
Kal: What?! I am not your mate! Be'shmai, this human is calling me his mate when I'm not!!!
Aurora: *giggles* I know, babe. I know.
Clerk: You sure are a fussy one. Aren't ya, mate?
Kal: WE ARE NOT MATES
