Between the Dark and Light Side

Tobias has heard of twin Force-users - who doesn't know of the Qel-Droma twins (and how unfortunately that turned out) in his time, after all - but he's never actually seen it before and he finds it a little strange to watch. It also rather makes him feel like an outsider, though he expected that.

He pulls up a ways back on the swoop he'd purchased for easier house-hunting and gets off, noticing them both. Bao floats out of the bag across his shoulder, toodles, and zips into the Hawk. He's heading for the ramp in himself, but pauses long enough to give them a, "Hey, you two," as greeting.

From:

And finally a difference between the two of them. One of them looks up and gives Tobias a smile, "Hey Tobias."

The other one, Trever, just grunts and doesn't bother to look up.

From:

He smiles back at Kale. "Found a few other places that look promising. You have any particular preferences, about if anyone's lived in them before us or not?" He's got a good idea of the answer, but he feels like talking a bit and it never hurts to double-check.

Trever gets a short glance. The Exile isn't really surprised about the reaction.

From:

Handing Trever a tool, almost absently, Kale says, "Nothing too horrific happening... as... neutral as possible, I guess."

From:

Tobias thinks it's all rather odd, that they can know each other so well, but won't comment on it. He nods. "All right. I'll double-check some things and see if I can get Rev to scope them out again with me."

From:

How could they not know each other so well?

"That'd be great." He smiles again.

"And a large bed," Trever says suddenly, looking up at Tobias.

From:

This is a very good point, yes.

He gives Kale a grin but blinks at Trever's sudden comment. "A large bed. Sure thing," he concurs, a little perplexed but not put-off at all.

From:

As if prodded, Trever clarifies for Tobias. "As he's not going to sleep without you or me, we'll need a large bed."

He sounds a bit unhappy at Kale's attachment to the other man, but he also seems to be working on it.

From:

He's glad that Trever's working on it, at least. He'd really like to get to a point where they're not both fighting for Kale's affections, he knows it's a long way off.

"Yeah. I'll see about getting one large enough."

From:

Kale grins as Trever hands him something. He doesn't seem to be too upset right now. But then again Trever and Tobias aren't arguing.

Trever is, however, giving Tobias the evil eye.

From:

This wouldn't be the first time he's gotten the Sith Stink-eye (Kreia used to give it to him all the time, in fact), and he's surprised that it hasn't changed in four thousand years.

"Right. I'm going to go review what I got with Bao. You two stay out of trouble."

From:

They snort. In tandem. The differences between the two of them melting away again.

From:

Okay, just a liiiiiittle creepy, that.

Still, he limps his way up the ramp and will likely be up there for a couple hours, discussing with Bao.

... And then he heads back down a ways (leaning on his cane now) to peer at the two. "Trever. Could I talk to you?"

From:

The twins look startled at this, but Trever nods. Standing up, he tugs off his greasy gloves and lets them drop to the ground. He walks towards Tobais, Kale watching the two of them like a hawk.

From:

He tries to reassure Kale that everything's going to fine through their bond, and leads the way into the storage room at the back of the ship where he's got a couple pillows set up on durasteel canisters as makeshift chairs.

"Feel free to sit." Which Tobias proceeds to do.

From:

Trever flops onto one across from Tobias, much like Kale does. He then leans forward, resting his chin on the palm of his hand. Away from Kale, a difference can be seen. Trever's posture is a bit more haughty and hard than Kale's. Probably from his dealings with the Sith. There's also a bit of... wariness and fear, nearly hidden.

From:

Tobias makes note of all this (even catching the wariness and fear, just barely). His own posture is much more open, but gives away his military service easily in the straightness of his back and the cant of his head.

"I'm not going to dance around this, because I frankly don't have the legs for it," he says. "Kale loves you, and he loves me. And he'd like to see us actually get along instead of... constantly fight for his attention and his affection. Honestly, I'd like the same thing, so if you don't mind, I want to extend the metaphorical olive branch to you." And maybe a Force Bond, but that'll be a little later, possibly, though he can't exactly control when that happens.

From:

His first response is to bristle and say 'Mine' and it's quite obvious from his look that is what he wants to say. But he throttles it down.

"I don't know if I can do that," he says stiffly.

From:

If he had he would have gotten bristly remarks concerning Carcer and Revan in response.

"Would you prefer to fight me over him, then? I'm certain he'd be miserable if we did," he replies gently.

From:

He ducks his head in a very Kale gesture. Or perhaps it was just a gesture that the two of them used.

"I want him to be happy."
