[Anakin is nursing a burned leg - thanks, fire - looking like his usual peppy, happy self.]

Eclipse, leave it alone. [He shows a curious cat sniffing said leg and coaxes it into his lap. Another cat, one that is smaller, with a face that is almost too adorable for words follows in Eclipse's dainty footsteps, laying over Anakin's leg. There. That's better, right?]

Thank you, Ravager. [No, really. This is the terrifying Darth Vader. With a pair of sweet cats.]

I swear this is the last I do for you, Hadriel. Unless there is a burning building filled with cats, you are on your own.

[Cats > People. Obviously.]

Hux? Are you alive? [That's a nice way of checking on someone, right?] Maedhros? Fingon? What about you?

It would be ruthless. [Hux has a good laugh. Anakin stretches out his legs and rests an arm behind his head.] I still say it's mostly luck. Or cheating.

[He yawned as he closed his eyes, shifting to try to get more comfortable.]

Oh it would be brutal. But you're most likely right, a combination of luck and cheating. We both like to win, don't we?

[Anakin's eyes fall closed and he makes an amused sound in his throat.]

We do. Winning feels much better than losing. Usually. Strangely I didn't mind being without clothes this time around.

[Because why not.]

You certainly seemed more than eager to strip off.

[He smirked as he tried to sit up slowly. The room shifted around him and while he knew he should try to make it to his room, stairs seemed too daunting at the moment.

He would have to admit defeat, sinking back into the couch.]

Maybe I was just too hot.

[Alcohol does cause that warming sensation. Oh and Anakin is shameless.

The galaxy is shocked. Not.]

Stay put. [He used the Force to drape a blanket over Hux.] You're safe.

[Despite being drunk, Hux heard Anakin loud and clear. He wasn't used to hearing that, not like this. He wasn't sure what to say for a moment before nodding, pulling the blanket up.]

Thank you. [He meant it, he knew Anakin had no obligation to him especially if Ren was gone. He was too drunk to ask why for now, he wasn't sure if he would be able to do with the answer.]

[Once Anakin cares for someone, it is usually a done deal. One of the reasons he "hates" Obi-Wan so much is because he cares for him intensely and the thought that his Master could betray him hurts enough to drive him into insanity. Of course what he feels for Hux is considerably less intense, so he can be more...logical. Realistic.]

No problem. [Meanwhile he takes himself to a nearby chair, collapsing into it and propping his feet up on a footrest. This is as far as he can go too.]

[Hux looked at Anakin for a moment before his eyes slipped shut. It didn't take him long to fall fast asleep curled up against the arm rest of the couch, a cat eventually joining him under the blanket.]

action;

[prophesiedone]

[Anakin grins at the sight before closing his eyes again. Eclipse leaps into his lap, abandoning the fallen tunic at last. Soon, they too are fast asleep.]
