sleek gloved fingers play with the stylus of her data pad as she reads through the trade route calls for help from the republic. the merchants claimed pirates but maggie was seeing a different pattern.
“that's why you called me in, isn't it?” she asks, voice modulated by the speaker in her mask, granting a small amount of anonymity. “thought you jedi had better things to do than worrying about merchant trade routes. this whole scene is wrong.”
she glances up at him from behind her mask, taking in his tense stance. more than that, the spirals of light she can practically taste, spinning off of him in fractals that told her more about him than the emblem on his clothes. “take a seat before you wear a hole in the floor.”
"something is very wrong."
Erika jumped as she sensed Maggie beside her, journal clutched in a death grip for a moment before she relaxed and lowered the open pages away from her chest. “I got so absorbed I didn't sense you. I just…the fluctuating variegation of these leaves…I was just planning on how to sketch it.” Ever since her own garden had been destroyed, Erika had been coping by spending a great deal of time in Maggie's gardens. A whole new notebook had been started just to document the plants here. Some entries had just been remade from her earth plant sketchbook, but some seemed to have adapted to Maggie's realm and become their own entirely new species! Documenting them had been her coping mechanism thus far, her own garden now mundane and empty. Repaired but mostly empty, save for most of the poisons. @singofus ➼ erika
maggie's eyes shine metallic green and black before she blinks and they return to their normal yellow hue , a soft smile on her face .
❛ there's no need to apologize , erika . i'm glad you are finding enjoyment in my gardens . ❜ she'd heard from atonia just how bad it had been , and is glad her own could keep erika occupied while they looked for ways to restore her own lands .
a thorny vine reaches up , the flowers rushing through the fertilization and maturation process , presenting perfectly ripe berries that fall , heavy and lush , into maggie's waiting palm .
❛ have you had these before ? i use them for the diner's cherry cloud pies . i'll let you in on a little secret though — they aren't actually cherries , ❜ she adds with a little playful finger over her lips .
❛ try one , if you want . ❜
the berries give a small good dose of auric sensation ; perhaps a specific memory , or just warm and peaceful sensations . maggie pops one into her mouth and feels her husband's arms around her , the gentle peace that comes from his presence .
the other , she offers to erika .
made this as a warm-up doodle but I like it enough to share
( this is basically just a very self indulgent list of various fluff, angst, and suggestive themed dialogue sentence starters. )

❛ if i have to think about one more thing today, my head will explode. ❜
@singofus asked : Kal is grinning from ear to ear and comes in with a cake box that's clumsily tied with a bow. He is just a tad high but just so excited. "Mom! I made you this." He holds the box out. Inside is a handmade chocolate cake with lots of chocolate icing and the words 'best mom in the universe' on it. Universe curving around the edge of the cake to fit, clearly he underestimated how much space it would take up. ⇢ magissa ﹠ kaluciyo
the midnight diner , 21xx .
maggie looks up as her youngest crashes through the kitchen revolving door , simultaneously delicately holding something . her heart warms at the playful swirling nature of his aura . she lets hers bloom and swirl in tandem , the equivalent of cupping his cheeks as she looks down at the cake .
she puts both her hands over her chest , looking up at kal with nothing short of love and gratitude .
“ is this what you were doing in the kitchen that required me to leave ? “ she asks , gently taking the cake from him and setting it on the counter . ” this is lovely kali-boy , thank you . shall we have some ? "
she may be already planning a treat basket in return for him .
