For Val; Family

[serenityevades]

Leaving Voss was almost too jarring, after the relative peace had soothed him as much as it could. He was afraid, away from the shrine of healing, that he would relapse, and crash and be unable to get back up. But he’d wanted to see Val again, and rather than having Val come to Voss, and potentially meet the father he’d never really thought about having before, he took the Sith’s invitation. His father may have once been a Sith - there was a surprise around every corner, it seemed - but he had no reason to believe he’d approve of the company that had kept him as happy and steady as he could ever be in the situation he’d been in.

He sent Val a brief message to let him know he’d arrived at the other’s Nar Shaddaa apartment, and sank into one of the bright couches in the entry hall, watching the little butterfly habitat he’d set up there.
