So, the idea of the Bad Batch (minus Echo, plus Emerie) being the other half of the Nulls has consumed my goddamn mind. Therefore, as you do when an idea takes up residence in your frontal lobe for the foreseeable future, here's some headcanons.
The Bad Batch (except for Echo and Omega, who have no clue what's going on) hate the Nulls. As in, "murder on sight" hate them. From an in-universe perspective, there could be a myriad of reasons, ranging from feelings of abandonment to resentment over them having a better life. From a writer's standpoint, it's because I love me some good old familial dysfunction and angst.
The more...unhinged...tendencies the Nulls are known for manifests in the Bad Batch more as "let's jump off this cliff and use explosives to direct our fall!" and less as "hey, check out my new skin gloves!" Of course, if you push them too far, it's a different story. In order of least to most likely to pull a "lemme turn you into an art installation," it's Omega, Wrecker, Hunter, Crosshair, and Tech. Omega wouldn't do that, at least not at this point in her life. Wrecker, when enraged, goes for the just-hit-them solution. Hunter's a decent human being and usually wouldn't do something like that...Unless his kid's been kidnapped by a crazy Imperial doctor for the fifteenth time, on which point he starts becoming a little deranged. Crosshair hovers close to the line but wouldn't do it to someone unprovoked. Tech is a special case, in that he has to be pushed, but when he is, the results make the rest of the Nulls go "JESUS FUCKING CHRIST."
The Nulls want to reunite with their lost siblings and build a relationship, but that's kind of hard to do when said siblings (except Omega) keep trying to kill them on sight and none of them were built for intricate and deeply complicated emotional issues. Still, they persist. Eventually, they could probably get to the level of "awkward conversations" but it'll take a lot of work.
The Bad Batch have what makes the Nulls superior to regular clone troopers, plus their unique enhancements (which in this version are less defects and more Nala Se picking an attribute for each of them and cranking it up to 11). They feel that it makes them better than the Nulls, something they're not shy about expressing.
Emerie is the same height as her estranged (I can't think of a word that applies to this specific situation but this one will do) brothers, because I stan a tall queen.
Nala Se is smug as hell whenever she sees Orun Wa. "CT-9904 just broke all records for accuracy, CT-9902 discovered a new element, CT-9903 crushed beskar like it was paper, and CT-9901 tracked a man through five systems and a solar storm. What are your clones doing, again?"
There is no understating the sheer "wtf" that goes through the Nulls' heads when they first see Omega. But, of course, this is Omega. Imagine the cutest image of her you've seen, fanart or canon. That's what the Nulls see when they meet her. Unsurprisingly, the Nulls, who got the Mandalorian gene to adopt anything that isn't nailed down, go from "wtf" to "so smol 🥰" in roughly a minute.
Kal Skirata is in the corner. His attempt to interact with the Bad Batch did not go well. He casually calls Hunter "son," as he does with various characters, and the resulting explosion puts a thermal detonator to shame. Since it's clear that his presence is not making things better, he's sort of just in the corner.
The rest of Clan Skirata, and associates, are staying out of this. Gilamar and Vau took one look and retreated to the bar because they know better than to get involved. Everyone else witnessed one of the less acrimonious encounters and collectively decided that they are not jumping into the emotional equivalent of a pit of rabid wolverines.
Echo is the go-between. He does not want to be the go-between. But he's the only neutral party in this thing aside from Omega, and the rest of the Batch don't trust the Nulls with her.
Spare a though for 99. He raised four of these guys, often with the aid of leashes. Truly, he is an unsung hero of the Clone Wars

Taglist Form
Tumblr media
“What about her?” Mereel gestures toward you as you sit up at the bar, working on your datapad, not paying any sort of attention to your surroundings. 
Ordo would never say it out loud, but you’re unsettlingly beautiful. Like you’d stepped right out of some sort of painting.
“She looks busy.” Ordo shakes his head, unable to look away from you. 
“Yeah, but osik… she’s mesh’la.” Mereel knocks his elbow into Ordo’s side.
This was their first night in a long time where they weren’t running mission after mission for Kal’buir or the GAR. Mereel was ready to blow off some steam, and he was determined to help his brother in the process.
“Just follow my lead, vod.” Mereel ushers Ordo along in your direction. “Excuse me, miss.” 
“I’m busy.” You mutter, not looking up from your scrolling. 
“I can see that. It’s just that my brother here saw you from across the room and he wants to buy you a drink.” Mereel leans against the bar, trying to showcase his most charming smile he could give. 
You look up, expecting some douchey jerkwad but instead are met with two handsome clones from the GAR. You glance at Mereel but he nods in Ordo’s direction, still smiling.
“He couldn’t offer to buy me a drink, himself?” You grin at Ordo.
“Oh. I apologize-” Ordo starts. 
You chuckle and click your datapad off, turning toward him. “I’m teasing. You guys are welcome to sit, if you’d like.” 
“We’d like that very much. I’m Mereel. This is-” Mereel starts but you cut him off.
“Let him tell me himself.” You wink at Mereel, who unexpectedly goes warm in the face. “What’s your name?” 
“O-Ordo, ma’am.” Ordo nods, going warm all over. 
“Pleased to meet you, Ordo.” You continue smiling, unable to help yourself. “And you, Mereel.” 
Mereel orders the drinks from the bartender when she passes by, handing her some credits. She gives a flirty smile to Mereel, but he seemingly doesn’t notice, only able to keep his eyes glued to your beautiful smile. He really intended to help Ordo tonight, but if Ordo’s okay with it, maybe they can both enjoy your company for the evening. 
“Are you from around here?” Mereel asks. 
“I am, actually.” You nod, crossing your legs, making your skirt go up a little further.
Both Mereel and Ordo take notice. They also can’t help the tightening of their pants. 
“Do you have a significant other?” Mereel asks. You laugh. “I do not. Why?” 
“Making sure we don’t have any competition.” Mereel places his arm behind you on the bartop. 
“Is that right?” You laugh, turning toward Ordo. “Are you two better than any other man in this bar?”
Ordo glances at Mereel who’s just smirking at you.
“For once, I’m gonna have to agree with my brother.” Ordo finally smiles, sheepishly.
You’re completely stunned by Ordo’s smile. You’re aware that he and Mereel are clones and look almost exactly the same, but despite the scars, you can already tell the difference between the two. Ordo is more shy and unsure, whereas Mereel is absolutely sure of himself. And somehow, you’re completely taken in by both men. This is a first for you. 
A loud group of women come in, who are clearly having some sort of bachelorette party, and start to get rowdy up by the bar, shouting their drink orders. You notice a few of the women already eyeing the two men on either side of you. 
You look at Ordo and Mereel as you put your datapad in your bag and grab it. “Do you guys possibly want to get out of here?” 
Ordo looks at Mereel for confirmation, and Ordo doesn’t even miss a beat, nodding to his brother that he was game for whatever was about to happen with you. 
“We would love to, mesh’la.” Mereel offers his arm and you take it, smiling at both men, who escort you out of the bar. 
You’re not sure what mesh’la means but damn, if you don’t love the way he says it. You’re just hoping it’s not some sort of insult. 
“Are you boys hungry?” You ask, knowing that they were probably expecting to go back to your place. 
“We’re always hungry.” Ordo finally seems to relax, smiling down at you. 
“Well, lucky for you boys, there’s a great diner around the corner.” You pull away from Mereel to lead the way.
Ordo and Mereel share a look. Ordo’s says “Wow this girl is something.” and Mereel’s says “I think I’m in love.” Both men are already excited to see what else is in store for the night. 
When you reach the diner, you sit in the round booth in the back corner, in between Ordo and Mereel. As they look over the menu, you can’t help but watch both of them. Mereel seems so relaxed, with his arm around you on the back of the booth, while Ordo’s not completely rigid, but you think he seems uneasy, nervous even. Both are completely endearing and you can’t help but feel tingly all over. 
The server droid rolls over quickly to take your orders and then scurries away behind the counter. You’d been coming here since you were a kid, and you knew the owner well enough. 
“What do you do for work?” Ordo asks you. 
“I work in cyber security at the Senate Dome.” You tell them, quietly. 
Ordo looks up at Mereel. He’s pretty sure they’re sharing the same thought. 
It could be useful to be friends with you. 
You notice them glancing at each other. But before you can ask what their looks are about, the server droid comes back out with your drinks. You take your cup of caf and add your slightly excessive amount of cream and sugar.
“Do you even like caf?” Mereel teases, smirking down at you, sipping his black.
“Excuse me. Just because I need a little sweetness added to it, doesn’t make me any lesser of a caf drinker than you Mr. Straight Black Caf.” You grin, eyeing Mereel’s cup, and then look over at Ordo, who adds one cream and one sugar. “Are you only doing that to make me not feel bad?”
“He is.” Mereel says at the same time that Ordo says “No.” 
You laugh and watch Ordo take a sip. He starts to make a face, like he’s bracing for it to be too sweet, but then all of a sudden, makes a relatively delighted face. Or at least you think it’s a face of delight. It could just be tolerance. 
“It’s not bad, Mereel.” Ordo shrugs, making Mereel shake his head, amused.
“Want to try some?” You hold out a sweetener packet to Mereel and he puts his hand over his mug.
“No, thank you.” He smiles.
“That’s fine. Stick to your bitterness.” You tease. 
“I think I will, I prefer other sweet things…” Mereel winks and you go warm all the way from your ears to your core.
“So, you work at the Senate Dome.” Ordo says and you nod, sipping your caf. “Do you like it?” 
You shrug. “It’s a job.”
Honestly, it wasn’t a terrible job. There were moments where you wondered if it was something you really want to stick with forever, though.  
“Anything exciting ever happen?” Mereel asks. 
You shrug. “Eh. A couple things. Like, the Separatists like to send mercenaries every now and then to cause chaos. Or when we have to go into lockdowns because of threats against the chancellor’s life.” 
“Do you… like the chancellor?” Ordo asks and when you look at him, he’s looking up at Mereel with a strange look. 
“I mean…” You watch as Mereel who’d been clearly glaring at Ordo above your head, looks down at you with a sweet smile. “I’m not really a fan. But what can you do?”
You mindlessly swirl your stirring spoon in your caf as you look between them.
“I’ve never been asked that before, you know.” You tell Ordo, tilting your head. He sips his caf, looking around. “Do you normally ask that on a first date?”
Ordo immediately sputters over his mug and your eyes widen as Mereel starts to crack up. 
“Are you alright?” You quickly put your caf down and pat him on the back. 
Ordo coughs, nervously. “I’m- I’m sorry.”
“He’s not been out in a while. You’ll have to excuse my brother.” Mereel teases Ordo, who’s still trying to control his slight cough.
When Ordo realizes you're touching him, he goes warm in the face and makes a face of someone clearly embarrassed, so you stop. 
“Sorry.” You murmur. 
“Don’t be.” Ordo shakes his head. 
“So, what do you guys do in the GAR?” You ask Mereel, trying to change the subject to avoid embarrassing Ordo, or yourself, any further. 
“We’re commandos.” Mereel answers, sipping his caf. 
“And what do commandos do?” You ask, curiously.
Your lack of knowledge on the army will probably send these men running.
“We do pretty much anything. Hard jobs. Easy missions. We’re who you call when you need stealth and precision.” Ordo answers. 
“My knowledge of the army is very little, unfortunately. I apologize.” You tell them just as the server droid with your food on a large tray arrives. 
Ordo passes Mereel his plates, then yours, and then grabs his own. 
“Don’t be sorry.” Mereel pats your knee and a jolt of electricity jolts through your leg and you find yourself leaning toward him slightly. 
He definitely notices and keeps his hand there, smirking down at you. You’re about to tease him about it when you hear a familiar, yet annoying, voice say your name from across the diner. 
“Oh great…” You mutter under your breath. 
A concerned Mereel and Ordo follow your gaze as a tall, blond man approaches your table, glancing at the two cloned men with a certain distaste.
“Hello, Jax.” You sigh, trying your best to hide your own distaste for the man in front of you.
Jax is one of your coworkers, who works across the hall from you. He works in a bigger branch of cyber security for Galactic City. He’s normally incredibly flirty with you and doesn’t like to take no for an answer. 
“What are you doing here this late?” Jax asks you.
“Having dinner with some friends.” You tell him. 
“Ah. I see.” Jax puts on a fake smile and reaches his hand out to Ordo, who doesn’t take it and then starts to extend it to Mereel, who just shakes his head with a slightly scrunched face, discouraging Jax. 
Clearly slightly embarrassed, Jax puts his hands in his pockets. 
“Well, after you’re done here, maybe you could swing by my place?” Jax grins at you.
Mereel’s hand tightens on your knee, reassuringly and it actually puts you at ease. 
“No, that’s alright.” You shake your head, honestly impressed by the gall on this man.
You’re clearly having dinner with two other, incredibly handsome, and slightly intimidating men. Was Jax actually trying this right now?
“Oh, come on, doll.” Jax nods toward the door. “Why don’t-”
Mereel cuts him off, noticing Ordo’s rigid manor and solid glare at Jax’s presence. “Jax, do you like your teeth?” 
“Huh?” Jax, visibly confused, looks between Mereel and Ordo.
“Answer the question, Jax.” Ordo leans back in the seat, bringing his cup of caf to his lips as he glares at your coworker.
You notice Ordo’s leg rest against yours and you aren’t exactly sure why these men you barely know are being so protective, but something inside of you tells you they’re trustworthy and that they won’t let anything happen to you. It makes your chest feel warm. 
“I- yes?” Jax answers.
“Then, if you want to keep them, I suggest you keep moving.” Mereel smirks. 
Jax starts to back away, clearly unnerved. You don’t feel bad, though. You get the ick anytime he comes near you, and you’re tired of dealing with him.
“And don’t bother her again.” Ordo warns him. “Understand?”
Jax nods as he turns to leave the diner. Only when he walks out the door, do you let out a breath of relief that you hadn’t even realized you’d been holding in. 
“Are you alright?” Mereel asks you, softly. 
You nod. “That was… you guys are… scary.” 
They seem slightly alarmed that you said that but you start giggling nervously. 
“Wow. You guys should come to work with me sometime. Scare some of the other guys I work with.” You grin at both of them.
Mereel and Ordo both chuckle as you all start to eat, relaxing into easy conversation. It’s the best time any of you have had in an incredibly long time. As you eat, and even when you finish, they share humorous stories of growing up with their adoptive father, Kal, and their other brothers A’den, Prudii, Kom’rk, and Jaing. They ask about your family as well, and things you like to do in your free time you rarely ever have. It’s almost scary how easy it is with these two intimidating commandos. 
“...and then because Jaing dared him to, A’den set the entire lab on fire.” Mereel recalls as he and Ordo laugh.
You can’t help but laugh along. You’ve never had such stimulating conversation in your life. It’s actually incredibly refreshing to talk to two men who aren’t incredibly disgusting and misogynistic. 
“If you actually would like for us to come by your work sometime, we’d be happy to, wouldn’t we, Ordo?” Mereel asks.
“I actually would love that.” You grin, pulling out a piece of paper and writing your comm channel and work info on it. 
Ordo takes it and sticks it in his pocket, grinning at you. His smile is genuinely so bright and so warm, it goes all the way to your toes. 
“Can I… ask a question?” You ask, softly.
“Of course, mesh’la.” Mereel encourages you.
“Okay two questions actually.” You laugh. “What does mesh’la mean?” “It means ‘beautiful’.” Mereel answers you. 
The warm feeling spreads throughout your entire body and you can’t help but feel slightly flustered. “You think I’m beautiful?” “We both do.” Ordo speaks up.
With a slight confidence, you reach over and kiss Mereel on the cheek and then Ordo.
Mereel pulls you gently by your chin back toward him and your stomach starts to flutter uncontrollably. “What was your second question, sweetheart?”
“Would you both want to go home with me tonight?” You ask him. 
Mereel lets go of your chin and before you can ask if everything is okay, he loudly, but still politely asks for the check from the server droid, making you laugh. 
Ordo tosses a handful of credits onto the table. “I’ll run back to the bar and get the speeder.” 
“Be quick.” You tease, then squeeze his hand and before you can pull it away, he brings it to his lips.
“Yes, ma’am.” He smiles before disappearing outside the door.
Mereel grabs your jacket and bag for you, following you out of the booth, guiding you to the door by your lower back. His hand placement does something to your insides that it’s never done with anyone else. 
When you get outside, you see Ordo pull up. 
“That was fast.” You compliment Ordo as Mereel lets you sit in the front seat while he hops in the back. 
Ordo grins at you and this time he confidently places his hand on your thigh, making you go warm all over again for the umpteenth time tonight. Flustered, you give him directions to your apartment, which is thankfully, only a few short blocks from the bar. 
Nerves start to flow as you realize that you’re taking two men home with you for the first time ever. Normally, you would absolutely never do this… but with both of these incredible men… how could you choose? And if they’re willing to share, even better, right?

*Y/n, sitting on the counter top, eating leftovers*
*Kal just entering the kitchen*
Kal: what the fuck? Son.. What.. . What are you doing here?
Y/n: you said if I need a place to crash I can come here.
Kal: I meant if you in trouble son.
Y/n: and what if I say I stole some really important informations, get caught, faked my dead, killed some separatists on the way and got some internal bleeding from the fight?
Kal:...
Y/n:...
Kal: eat that god damn pizza then go to Gilamar you trash rat. *inhales slowly* Fierce.. . I'm to old for this.
---------------------------------------------------
I'm so sorry for the lack of content here, I'm full of things to do, but the time I need is somewhere buried with the 332 company (too soon?). Anyways, I try to beat my finals, write my thesis and do not die. And of course I'm working on my embroidery and watching Grey's Anatomy plus trying to watch Loki season 2 finally but my heart is not ready yet. And I started to sewing too and I just overdid and overwhelmed myself I guess? I couldn't even finished the last Republic Commando book and already want to go to the other ones.
So... With all of everything I try to be a little more active (I'm not promising anything) and I hope can finally do some embroidery update too and post more and finally finish my new fan fiction.
But now please enjoy our beloved Clone Reader, who just got adopted and will make Mereel his bitch in time.
Love you guys! I will always come back, you can't rid of me!

Awkward clone valentines part 2, featuring the Null ARCs

Voices Carry
The Null ARC troopers have heard a rumor - a Republic senator claims to have inside information about clone trooper genetic material. When they decide it's worth investigating, Mereel offers to slice the data during a simple comm call with the senator.
The mission doesn't offer much of a challenge... or so he thought. Mereel hadn't counted on a stalwart and unyielding senatorial assistant foiling his every effort.

Part One
Tumblr media
“But does he actually have anything?” 
It was the question that had dominated the last hour, and the conversation was starting to circle. 
“The only way we can be sure is to check for ourselves,” Mereel decreed.
“Why would some boracyk Senator from a backwater planet have information about the kaminii gene cloning program?” Jaing asked. 
It wasn’t the first time he had asked it. What was more, Jaing’s perfect memory meant he knew he had asked the question before and Mereel was getting tired of giving the same answer. 
But he did it anyway. “Because it’s a weird lead. It’s weird that he said it in the first place. But Julgum is a karkin’ Senator. I can get through his entire library of information in less time than we’ve been talking about it. All I need is access to his office’s mainframe.”
All of this had started when Prudii had uncovered an interview aired on a fringe news source, featuring the senator from Farrfin. Senator Julgum wasn’t a popular man, mostly because of his unique and unpopular views. But Farrfin was notoriously corrupt and the general opinion was that his money had bought more votes than any of his politics had.
But the Null troopers didn’t care about politics - except maybe Ordo, who seemed to thrive on useless information. No, their only interest in Senator Julgum stemmed from the point in the interview when he said that the galaxy should be wary of clone troopers.
“I’ve received some information about the genes that the Kaminoans used,” he had claimed. “It all seems fine from the outside, but when you start to dig a little deeper… Well, let’s just say that I won’t be rushing to sign any clone rights bills into law until I figure out how far the problems run.”
The Nulls were split evenly between the two sides: Ordo, Jaing, and A’den thought it was a waste of time. Kom’rk, Prudii, and Mereel thought it was worth following up on. 
There was only one thing for it: Mereel looked over at where the figure of Kal Skirata stood, pondering the arguments in silence. “What do you think, Kal’buir?”
Silence settled over the Nulls as their adoptive father figure considered his answer. Whatever Kal Skirata decided, the group would do. That was the way it had always been, and he had never steered them in the wrong direction. Well, he had, but he always took any failures harder than the Nulls themselves did. 
“Mereel is right,” he said eventually, and Mereel felt a fierce pride spike through his chest at the implied praise. “It’s a lead, and we should follow up on any of those that come our way. Mer’ika, it won’t take you long to get into the Senator’s system, will it?”
“Not at all,” Mereel assured. “In and out in a few minutes at most. Then another day to sift through the data.”
“I think it’s a chance worth taking,” Kal said, glancing at the men around the room. Some were physically present, some were holographic, and all were watching him with the typical intensity born of being raised on the actively-hostile Kamino. “But I’m willing to hear arguments.”
“No, Kal’buir,” A’den refused. “If you think we should check it out, we will. Go for it, Mereel.”
Mereel flashed a grin, brimming with his typical confidence. “If the good senator has any real information, we’ll have it before the end of the week.”
Yes, confidence was never an issue with Mereel, but he would be the first to admit that accessing Julgum’s system was more difficult than anyone had expected.
The nearest he could figure was that the jetii had fixed up the network in Julgum’s office for him. Mereel would need the key code to access the network itself. Normally, that wasn’t much of a deterrent, but tracking down a key code took time. And this code in particular reset every few hours on an ever-changing time interval. 
Mereel was one of the better slicers in the galaxy, but even he had some limits. The effort it would take to access the senator’s office network just didn’t make sense, especially when the Nulls were working on a time limit. Even a slice code took time to construct, especially if the user wanted to keep anyone from knowing that the system had been breached.
Fortunately, there was a way around either necessity: he could contact the senator directly. If Mereel’s comlink was patched through to the senator himself, he would be able to access the mainframe and pull any (or all) information from the system without being detected and without spending weeks working on a functional slice code.
All he had to do was call.

Kissing ask: Fox/Mereel 💜
hi anon!
established non-relationship, takes place during the war. unstoppable force (mereel thinking himself a femme fatale) vs unmovable object (fox's customer service persona)

Fox’s right hip is on fire. He shifts his weight and breathes through it. Amedda keeps talking at him, his lethorns vibrating with ire. He’s a small, prideful man, and he doesn’t like feeling scared: in the past year, Fox has learned to weather Mas Amedda’s rants, to mostly tune them out. They’re mostly harmless, and they make him feel better, and he’s a nasty piece of work—the happier he feels, the easier it is to deal with him. 
The man’s office is a mess of rubble and destroyed furniture. They carted out his aide’s corpse before Amedda arrived—she was alone when the clever little explosive device hidden in the flowers of the vase was deployed. Parts of her are still stuck to the carpet, to the wallpaper behind Fox.
Fox shifts his weight again. It was bad luck—a bad fall from a balcony. He nods, makes a vaguely agreeable noise when Amedda stops talking, and that’s more than enough—the man resumes talking, his words blurring together.
Skirata hovers just beyond what’s left of the door. He’s leaning against a wall, bucket on, the light blue of his armour out of place in the deep red of the Senate’s everything. He shouldn’t be there—Fox is reasonably sure he is very much not allowed in this area of the building. 
He probably wants to poke at something he shouldn’t have access to; Fox sighs. 
One headache at the time.
Amedda keeps him there for another ten minutes. Fox leaves the room, Mereel falling into step behind him like it’s nothing, like it’s expected and perfectly natural.
Fox sighs again and clicks on the helmet’s internal comms. 
“You are not supposed to be here,” he tells Mereel. “What do you want.”
In a way, dealing with Mereel is more or less like dealing with one of the high end senators: he’s unpredictable and he’s dangerous and he likes shiny things, and he’s not as smart or as charming as he thinks he is.
“Maybe I’m here just to see you,” Mereel replies. Fox snorts. He steps into the first fresher he sees, and isn’t that shocked when Mereel follows him right in. 
The place is empty, as predicted—the whole floor was evacuated after the explosion—but neither of them take off their buckets. Fox tilts his head at Mereel and folds his arms.
“What’s up with your leg? You’re limping,” Mereel continues. Fox blinks.
“I’m not limping,” he tells him. He made sure. He exhales. “Bad fall. What—?”
“Yes, yes. I know.”
They have an—agreement. Of sorts. Sometimes Fox lets him have a tiny bit of something, and Mereel always pays in kind. It works, more or less: Fox knows better than to expect Mereel to be fair, or honest, or truthful. It’s a dangerous game, but it’s one Fox has learned to play well. 
Mereel wants to have a look at the device. Fox dangles ten minutes in the evidence locker—not alone, never alone—over him until Mereel gives in: he has a disturbingly deep knowledge of Coruscant street gangs, and he hates to share it.
Fox can’t quite understand why Mereel keeps coming to him. He knows it’s partly out of boredom, partly curiosity: for a man who changes faces with disturbing ease, Mereel is not as hard to understand as he thinks he is. He likes poking at things to see what they do, he likes attention, he likes getting a reaction, and Fox knows very well how to play hard to get.
He half expects Mereel to push him into one of the empty stalls. It wouldn’t be the first time, nor the last: it has become a sort of habit. Less than legal dealings in the shadow of the Senate Rotunda, and then Mereel’s hand or his mouth around Fox’s dick in a storage cupboard somewhere. It’s both sordidly transactional and very—comfortable. With Mereel, Fox always knows what to expect.
Not that night. Mereel tilts his head—another comm incoming—and then clicks his tongue. He sighs, and then he’s approaching Fox, buckets bumping with a clattering, overly loud noise.
“Need to go. Get that leg looked at,” he says, and then he steps away. Seconds later the door swings closed after him, and Fox listens to his footsteps disappear down the corridor in the direction of the lifts. Fox checks his belt—he didn’t take anything, didn’t leave any funny little surprises—and then takes off his own helmet.
His own reflection stares at him from the visor. Fox scoffs and puts it on again. Kriffing Mandos.

Snippet from the Mandokarla Aran AU
Mereel Skirata is batshit crazy.
Fox knows it, since they were cadets A-17 always told them to stay away from the Nulls when they came looking for things to scavenge. 
Fox always watched them whenever they came around, always captivated by the vode that were good enough for a natborn to actually adopt them. 
Mereel Skirata, decanted as N-7, ARC trooper, Lieutenant, vod to Prudii, Kom'rk, Jaing, Ordo and A'den- stands tall, large in his arc armour as he takes in the Guard around him, all on watch, all careful, like they're waiting for him to snap.
"Mereel." 
Fox acknowledges him by name. He's only interacted with Mereel once before, when he was the first point of contact between a strike team and Fox's forces on the ground. Fox hadn't been around then, too busy begging for his own life from dieties that barely bothered to listen on a good day, 150 levels down from where Mereel and Stone had rendezvoused.
