[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?

[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.]

[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.]
