What's the bed time routine like for the Kashk family when they're all home?
Especially when the kids are little, the family reads to them before they go to sleep. Sometimes one or both of the cats will snuggle up with the kids. When Mirshko is born, the older two take turns reading to her. Bath time is highly enjoyed by all children. Their parents appreciate this, even when they sometimes get splashed.

CAW 2020 - Day 2: Relationships
Smoke Squad:
Romantic - Shrari/Qetryscelyon: These two... Talk about slow burn. They're both demi, which is partly why, but everyone sees them orbiting each other except them. He's the only one who calls her Shrari consistently, even Levi doesn't do that and they're best friends. Shrari will willingly be 'small' around Qet (granted, even in her relatively small human form she's still 5'11"), and despite the fact that he doesn't really need to be, he can almost always be found in her vicinity when he isn't cooking or doing something with his younger brothers. When they finally do get together it's still very slow and careful, but they've been together for a year and know for certain they want to adopt by the time they find Ilar, so the relationship is much more stable by that point. When they pick up this little golden two year old orphaned Twi'lek, Qetryscelyon immediately takes to him, and Ilar makes a quick habit of doing grabby hands at him to get picked up. Ilar picks up Mando'a remarkably quickly and starts using it alongside Ryl. The first time he properly calls Qet 'Buir' after learning the word, Qet has to hold it together because if he's not careful he's gonna burst into tears right there in front of the kid.
Later he does cry on his wife, and she holds him and tells him she always knew he'd be an amazing father.
Platonic - Levi & Shrari: Levi and Shrari are best friends. His name means 'loyal one,' and damn is he. When they find out about the chips (due to a a rather scary incident involving Punk on the operating table) and she finds out about their potential, she's furious and decides to take anything she left at the temple and leave. She was going to give her crew the opportunity to be reassigned, but before she could Levi just folded his arms and went "you didn't think you were leaving without us, did you Kashk?" Levi had no plans to let his best friend go off on her own, with no life experience and no protection. Never mind that she's 6'8" and a (former) Jedi, she's their Kashk, and they're family, and you don't split that kind of thing up.
Levi & Qet: These two grew up together. They're not batchers, but they're close, to the point that Qet was there when Levi figured out he was Force Sensitive and watched him spend the next week freaking out and getting hit in the head no fewer than three times during training because he was distracted (he helped Levi as best he could, of course, but there's only so much you can do for a bit when they're having to reshape their personal identity). Qetryscelyon also helped Levi figure out a name, and Levi was there when Qet got his name (Victorious Guardian, or Victor when shortened) from a group of refugees he protected. They're very proud of each other, although Levi almost went on it of his mind waiting for Qet to realise he was in love with Kashk.
Dogma & Shrapnel: These two are a fun pair because they bonded over the fact that they were imprisoned for six weeks together. Like that is literally how they know each other. Despite this, they trust each other, and it is Shrapnel's trust of Shrari that convinces Dogma that go with Smoke Squad. Shrapnel's boundless energy is often exhausting, it is also what kept Dogma from completely despairing. Shrapnel is also the first one to provide Dogma with a good deal of tactile affection which took some getting used to. Though they have the option to have separate rooms when they join the Smokies, they elect to stay together. They stay close, and Dogma is very excited to introduce Shrapnel to Tup when they eventually pick him up as well.
The Twins: Max (Maximum) and Trig (Trigger) became very close very quickly. They, along with Punk who is a disaster on his own but not a menace without help, are notorious pranksters and Finders of Trouble. They're not allowed to room together for fear of scheming. Despite being called the Twins Maximum is slightly older, and looks after Trig.
Punk & Peak: This one. Oh boy. Punk is a walking disaster. He sticks his head in anything he thinks might dye his hair. At best, it works with no adverse effects (or for does nothing at all). At worst, he's lying on Peak's medical table, and it's a very messy time. Peak rails against him for his lack of common sense (or ANY sense) and his absolute reckless nature, and Punk calls Peak fun-less and Grumpy. However, Peak gets Punk any cool (safe) hair dye and really good conditioner to maintain the color, and Punk brings Peak anything he thinks could be useful for either Peak's science experiments or low medical supplies. They snipe at each other a lot, but they do love each other.
Levi & Sie: These two bond over being both Force-sensitive and occasionally non-verbal, and it's a relief for both of them to know someone else goes through the same shit. Sie is the sniper, quiet, observant, and sometimes that peace is something Levi sorely needs.
Panther Squad:
Romantic - Bard/Sarya: he falls in love with her because she shows him exactly how dangerous she is with a knife. Also she has an amazing sense of humour and she's beautiful, but the moment he realises that he is completely and totally screwed is when she steals his knife, and just turns her hand into a blur with the blade before putting it into the table between his fingers and going to get another drink. She finds him wonderfully clever and talented and funny and charming, as well as handsome. They are a very sweet and loving duo, and their kids are incredibly talented.
Platonic - Recoil & Nuhur: It's a giant fighty-small soft sibling duo. Recoil is the one Nuhur gets to wrangle anyone avoiding medical (though that's less of a problem for them because their siblings know they're a sweetheart). Recoil gives them so many hugs.
Bard & Fives: two ARC troopers. Both have ridiculous senses of humour. One can use the Force, the other is a musician. They worry people. They're good friends, but they worry people.
Careen & Xhona: Best friends for years, she pulled him out of his flaming ship and nursed him back to health, teaching him about slicing and technology while doing so. He is really happy that she finds Cain and is happy with them.
Careen & Jaig: they're very dorky. Careen is actually one of the people who teaches Jaig to have a sense of humour. However, due to the fact that Jaig is around a few other influences, the sense of humour that he develops is very dry, so his and Careen's relationship involves incredible sarcasm and absolute Roastage.
Fives & Jaig (ru'dinad): they are an interesting duo because their development of their Force abilities was very different. Jaig knew he was different from a very young age and got training from a padawan in secret before going off on his own. In comparison Fives found out shortly before he left the army and had virtually no training. Being able to get training from a brother gave Fives more confidence and the pair of them train together as much as they do do with the former Jedi.
Pel'verd Company:
Romantic - Feedback/Qadla: disaster bisexual meets distinguished bisexual is basically they're relationship. She is a very confident badass who knows what she wants, he is very flustered, they're adorable. Their kids are much loved by the whole crew.
Ink/Dolus: Dolus' type is "adhd queer disaster badass" and that's Ink in a nutshell. Dolus is one of those thorns in the side of Several People, he's known as a galactic pain in the ass, and then Ink joins him in becoming a galactic pain in the ass, and they are obnoxious troublemakers together. Feedback is grateful for this because it pisses off the empire while keeping Ink from being a bad influence on his kids.
Platonic - Feedback & Tak: these two are the best of friends, and Feedback is actually one of the people who who gives Tak his name. The two of them are virtually inseparable. They practice swordwork together, and confide in each other about their concerns about the war and their company and each other and their personal lives. They're very sweet and there are hugs.
Feedback & Cody: Batchers that fight together stay together, even if that involves Actual Abduction (he had to get Cody away from 66, okay? He didn't have a choice). Cody makes sure that Feedback actually does the things he's supposed to do like paperwork and eating. Feedback make sure Cody does the things he's supposed to do like sleeping and not being touch starved as fuck. Feedback also happens to be BCC 2225. He is Cody's direct younger brother and will not let him forget it and is obnoxious. However, his company answers directly to Cody rather than Obi-Wan, and he (and Tak) will always double check with Cody whether that is actually what he wants them to do. He is incredibly loyal to Cody, but he's also a younger brother.
Pulse & Blackout & Rahn: the resident troublemakers of cat company. These three terrorize the entirety of the 212 battalion. there have been multiple incidents involving popcorn and no one is quite sure how they got a hold of it because they have, all three of them, been banned from acquiring popcorn and yet they still seem to manage to do so. They also form a musical group in which Pulse will rap, Blackout will beatbox, and Rahn will sing the hook.
Wolfpack boys:
Platonic - Dynamics within the 4: the four of them seem to work somehow. by all accounts they probably shouldn't. The two of them they are batchmates make sense but the baby and the fighty asshole should not. However, they they do anyway, which is probably for the best. Plasma keeps them in check and managers to tame most of Eclipse's more impulsive decisions. Parsec mentors Orbit the shiny, and they protect each other in a way that inspires even the veterans.
Wolffe & Orbit: listen, this is just. Snarky protective older brother and pure youngest brother, okay? Wolffe gave Orbit his name, so he feels protective of him, and Orbit is special and important for that reason, and Orbit really looks up to and admires Wolffe as a brother and a Commander.
Plasma & Parsec: these two are Batchers, and both of them got their names from someone else's offhand comment, which they adore. They kept each other company when things went wrong. They were reassigned to the Wolfpack after the Malevolence disaster, and they stuck very close in the wake of it. The strength they drew from each other kept them from being anxious about the reassignment. Plasma is the officer and Parsec is the specialist, and they drive each other nuts sometimes because you shouldn't know that, why do you know that?
(Some of these are a little shorter purely because I have less for them and also I'm tired, thanks for reading!)
