xi’kèrso steps up to vector, hand going to rest on the other’s cheek, gently guiding the joiner down so he can press a kiss on his lips. it’s short and isn’t accompanied of any words, but he knows, as he rests his forehead against vector’s that his companion doesn’t need words to know how grateful he is for his presence and how greatly he wishes for vector’s happiness and well-being. (cipherxnine, happy new year)

          lightweight was the silent breath exchanged. the lapse of time           was short-lived but enough to reach its purpose. as their lips           connected, VECTOR’s reached for the AGENT’s hip bringing           them closer. with his free hand, it found its way to XI’s chest,           fingers trailing up to behind his neck where he could touch the           warmness of his skin. it all happened in a blink of an eye. it was           limited, not the right time nor place to give into craving.

          and so their lips parted, allowing themselves some space to gaze           into each other’s eyes, bottomless raven to crimson embed implants.           it was a muted conversation, one that didn’t spoken words but the           feeling, the emotion, the mutual understanding, the support, the love.           it was all there in their touch, in their kiss and in their stare.

“Keeper is a good man…” The alien mused, raising her glass almost as if toasting the person in question. “He hardly deserves the meddling of the Sith in Intelligence business. As for the Empire’s leash…” She mused, wondering not for the first time if she should inform her fellow Cipher of the files she had found pertaining to the Castellan restraints, but in the end she chose not to. No need to raise the man’s paranoia even further. 

he hummed in agreement. he owed keeper a lot, but xi’kèrso also was a loyal man. if his loyalty didn’t go to the empire as the machine asked it did, it went to someone who deserved it in his opinion. “ i see the military’s and citizen’s and i consider mine non-existent. ” he added. if he could, perhaps would he have rolled his eyes. with the freedom he had and how most military had to answer his demands most of the time, he considered it better. “ well, ours. ” he looked down at the liquor in his hand, wondering if he shouldn’t have kept with the caf instead. he liked alcohol, but it was something he preferred drinking before bed as it wouldn’t impair him during any mission or his free time. he sipped on it nonetheless. “ as long as nothing gets in my way, i don’t care for the semantics behind real or false freedom. do you? ”

“I suppose I would go wherever the Empire chose to reassign me. And you? Since this was your line of inquiry.”

“ quit, probably. unless keeper asked me to stay. ” he wasn’t a fan of sith. he had always been vocal about it, even though keeper always tried to explain him how bad of an idea it was. he had only understood how bad when keeper was the one to pay for his attitude. he became more tame, perhaps, but it didn’t mean he would stand for a sith runned intelligence. or wasting his time in a military’s post. “ i serve the empire best when i do not wear the empire’s leash. ”

iii. What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?

archive 000005 || proceed

honestly? a struggle.

even though estashar tried ( something xi’kèrso won’t even give him credit for ), and even though he does love his boys, all of them ( which xi’kèrso doesn’t believe ), aussyn and xi’kèrso grew up to be quite the handful. mebess was home a lot ( surprisingly ) and thus grew closer to the triplets while her husband was deployed a lot on different planets. he was also the authoritarian parent and aussyn and xi’kèrso’s rebellions ( that came from meklovoy’s depart to the jedi order ) were sometimes too much for him to deal with. so he grew colder with his sons.

when xi’kèrso was taken ( and that he doesn’t know ), estashar used every relation he had to find his son, but never was able to get a proper lead and thus had to give up after being ordered to. not soon after, aussyn became utterly impossible and his father anger only worsened their relationship.

xi’kèrso was disowned when it was found out that he had became an imperial citizen, records purged to make of aussyn and meklovoy the only ambrosium twins. aussyn then went off the radar and into piratry becoming somewhat his father’s shame.

of course, meklovoy’s admired and respected by estashar.

so yeah.

their relationship is not a++xi’kèrso actively hates him because most of the memories he retained from his youth were the bad ones. the good ones he still remembers he denies their existence so he can hold unto his grudge.

he also tells himself he hates his twins. he doesn’t.

#( yeah i used twins because saying 'he hates his triplets' doesn't make sense to my brain ) #( also there's a lot of unsaid? and a lot of assuming in this text from xi'kèrso point of view ) #( anyway this is shit but take it ) #( before i change my mind and delete everything xD ) #Anonymous

How can I hear “I love you” in two words which don’t say that at all? it doesn’t seem possible  but darling, I can because you can’t say those words right now you’re still full of half spun promises and half healed scars  so you find other ways to say how you feel and you have just kept on saving me until I look inside my fractured heart and see that somehow those pieces have slowly reconnected one day I will kiss you as the colors fade one day I will say the words I swear every time I touch you one day we won’t have to fight the wars

He laid his head on the AGENT's lap, watching carefully with obsidian eyes. reaching out with his fingers, he traced the man's lips without an exchange of words. they were not needed for a moment such as this.

he looks down through red-filtered lenses at the diplomat’s features, observing at his own leisure who he’s always found to be an aesthetically pleasing man. he’s never been one to bother with such analytics, but vector had been an exception. and the eyes, as foreign as they look, simply add to it. he would be caught staring one too many times if it wasn’t for the fact that his eyes and any information you can read in them couldn’t be seen with the cybernetics installed there.

there’s a flicker of a smile when vector’s hand reaches his lips.he doesn’t mind the silence. it’s a comfortable one and he never finds that words are a necessity when it comes to vector’s company. he doesn’t know what to call it or how to describe it. he doesn’t know if it’s a real thing or just two men used to each other. but he clearly doesn’t mind it. this connection of sort.

or maybe it’s the remnant of the force in him and however vector’s new organism works now that makes it so easy for them to understand each other.

he takes the man’s hand in his own, but doesn’t move it away. instead, he presses his lips on his partner’s knuckles, gentle and undemanding. it’s a calm moment, a real contrast to how their lives usually get. it’s moments like this that make everything else worth going through. and realizes it’s been true for a while now, way before they came together like this.

vector is a constant. a point in time he can always come back to.something to help him stay sane.

and somehow he hopes ( and it is oh so rare that he lets himself hope for anything ) that he can be, or feel like, a certain constant for vector too. someone the diplomat can count on when everyone else turns their back on him.

he presses a few more kisses to the palm he’s still holding and lowers both of their hands in order to keep vector’s in his.

can i just say i don’t know how xi actually puts up with his lenses? i like to close my eyes when i’m comfortable or when someone play with my hair or whatever. it’s not just a writer repeat flaw. but xi can only stare endlessly and has to actually turn off his lenses to sleep. i’m....

ok giving you random numbers 5, 16, 28, 33, 41

5. On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?

not a lot. if there’s something in his pockets, it’s all necessary, or it’s tools he can use during a mission. it’s usually small so it cannot be used against him or it can’t hurt him if he has to roll on the ground or if he lands on his back or else during a fight.

16. Which does your character idealize most: happiness or success?

success. happiness is a luxury he can’t always indulge in.

28. How quick or slow is your character to resort to physical violence in a confrontation?

it really depends on the situation and what’s the best answer to said situation. he’s not against violence when it gets things done, but he knows it’s not always the best solution. it’s why imperial spies are trained in both aggression and seduction. he will be quick when he needs to be, when it’s the only solution to a problem or when it’s a question of life and death. he’ll be slower to get there if he can get out of this with seduction or a talk.

the slowness, however, shouldn’t be taken as to say he doesn’t like violence or has troubles to stomach it. xi’kèrso is just aware that any fight can also injure him or at least make him sore depending of the strength of his foes. leaving a confrontation unscathered because he made the right call is more important than punching someone for the sake of it.

33. In the face of criticism, is your character defensive, self-deprecating, or willing to improve?

if it’s a fair criticism, meaning that it is true, he’ll take it into account then improve or not depending on whether or not it helps him in the end. otherwise he’ll probably snark back, not as a defense but simply because he finds the commentary stupid. what might get him self-deprecating is if someone he really loves or admires point out flaws he knows are true but he doesn’t think he can change neither for himself or them.

41. Does your character feel that they deserve to have what they want, whether it be material or abstract, or do they feel they must earn it first?

must earn it first. like everything in life in his opinion really. you get paid because you did your job and not because you didn’t.
