cal is on his knees in the prison, focusing on his breathing, focusing on the force he knows is around him and in him and through him-- even if he can’t immediately feel it, even if he has it only on faith that he’s even a jedi at all anymore. his skills are lacking, his intuition feels stretched and straining, the energies around him itching on him for some reason, and whenever he tries to press into it too hard, he gets glimpses of something he’d really rather not see.

himself. in black. and red.

but he can’t just ignore his connection to the force, he can’t just stay in here and do nothing. he’s hoping merrin or cere are looking for him, he’s hoping they’re keeping their minds open. this isn’t a technique he has any experience in, but his old master jaro tapal talked about it sometimes-- the way jedi could connect with each other occasionally. if that sort of power is laying inside him somewhere dormant, he could definitely use an awakening right about now with it.

for a long few hours, there’s nothing. then... a light, like a tether, green and sparkling and familiar. merrin?

cal has taught merrin how to play a tabletop game when they were traveling between planets searching for the pieces of the holocron. it’s a mix between checkers, poker, and monopoly, and once merrin got the hang of it, she quickly surpassed his skill and began beating him relentlessly at it. he claims she’s found a way to cheat but she insists that she doesn’t need to with him, he’s easy to win against. he keeps demanding rematches and she keeps beating him every time.

“ you can’t change my mind. ”

cal looks over at her and presses his lips together, not knowing how to respond to that for a full moment, wondering if he should push her further away than he’s already been pushing, than is already inherent with them being physically separated by the prison he’s captured inside. he feels a swell of emotion inside his chest but he looks away from her before she can read it in his face, forcing his lungs to inhale steadily. “i’m just sorry, i feel like i.... tricked you, inadvertently. you came with me because i was trying to rebuild the jedi order, but now.... i’m not even sure if that’s what i’m supposed to do. so i’d understand if you feel like leaving me.”

“ goodnight. good work. i’ll most likely kill you in the morning. ”

she gave a half assed, two fingered salute and nodded once. ❝ wouldn’t expect anything less, love- ❞ new goal: get under that girl’s skin. it was fun to play cat and mouse with a rodent that had radiation on its paws. cor never knew what would happen, and the possibilities were intriguing. ❝ try not to be so terribly obvious about it though? you might actually win one day. ❞
