Grakk's Diner, Near The Jedi Temple, Coruscant, Tuesday Morning

[suitably_heroic]

It'd been a decent couple of days - training Sparkle, avoiding Brianna, finding new places to leave rude things scribbled on the walls of the Temple that Mical probably wouldn't find out about until he was fifty - but all decent things had to end. For one thing, most of Atton's stuff was on the island, and for the other, he didn't actually want to miss the couple of quiet days there before the next term.

Why squander a perfectly good place without people he hated?

"All right, portal leaves in two hours," Atton said, pushing open the door to a charming local diner that screamed GRAKK in offensively neon-and-glittery words from the rooftop. Inside, a plethora of people of various species were hovering or sitting in their seats, but there were still a couple of booths open, including one facing right across from the diner's four-armed cook, so hey, Atton would sit down right there.

"Stick to the blue part of the menu," he said, "The white part's living food. Yellow's not for humans, and red... let's just not talk about the red."

"See, as far as you're concerned, I'm gonna be happy if you have food, a job, and a roof over your head," Atton said. "Anything I can do to help with that, let me know. Though don't tell anyone or every kid in the dorms is going to start swarming to me like they do Skywalker, eesh."

"Ha, like I'm going to pass that one around," Sparkle replied, smirking. "Really, that would involve sharing, man."

The odds that Sparkle was going to ask anyone for help if he could help it were slim, but, shit, people making those offers? That meant the world to him, even if he wouldn't admit it.

Atton shrugged. "Hey, I'm saying if I have a roof, you have a roof," he said, "That spreads around, suddenly there's no more space under my roof."

There was a long pause at that.

And then Sparkle just smirked and glanced out the window, looking to see if maybe he could spot the temple from there.

"I can see how that might be a problem, yeah."

Sparkle was being an ass on purpose, now.

Atton snorted.

"You really think stuffing Fandom's finest in one building with a bunch of Jedi is a good idea?" he said. "They'd level Coruscant in a week."

"... I'd totally sit back and just film that," Sparkle mused. "Michael Bay, eat your heart out."

It wasn't like he could otherwise contribute, here.
