Duros be wild on my dash, Syn ;////////; !

So last time I asked what's Shriv's routine when waking up with s/o. Can I get one for Cad pretty please? But this time, post-fight from last night ♥

I'm going with headcanons, although it's hard for me to imagine Bane having a strict routine with someone, ngl. I see him as mostly a loner, or always out doing jobs. I imagine he drinks his caf, has a little breakfast, suits up, and is on his merry way IF -- IF he has the time and is not working late, late hours or hot on the trail of a target. Or, if he's traveling through hyperspace, maybe he doublechecks his route on the ship's navigational computer as to assure he hasn't gone off course.

Maybe he has Todo wake him should anything go wrong that needs his immediate attention. I imagine being a bounty hunter means you do not normally adhere to a tight schedule, that being said I shall do my best.

So, you had an argument.

Bane sleeps light. I bet he's an early riser. He's out of bed before you know he's gone, plus he is very quiet about it.

He went for a walk to clear his head, maybe the fresh air does him some good. Maybe he also takes the time to smoke a cigarra.

He thinks about what was said and done. Maybe he still doesn't agree with you, or maybe he thinks you made a valid point.

Upon first seeing you in the morning, he offers caf.

He probably won't speak first, I assume he allows you to do that. Bane is a man of few words and I don't take him as being someone to waste his breath. Plus, maybe he's not sure where you stand. Are you still mad? Are you going to give him any grief? On a normal day, I bet he grabs your ass and gives it a squeeze. Maybe he gives you a suave "Mornin', darlin'."

Should things go well, you most likely would be the one to offer breakfast. Bane takes this time to do some small task, like oil his blasters, or read the news.

Since he trusts you, he's willing to eat whatever you put before him. Maybe he mumbles a compliment, or a comment of some sort, otherwise he keeps to himself. "Fine cookin'"

Should you try to engage him in conversation, he would most likely take the bait as long as you are on good terms. If you are not on good terms, I foresee him keeping his grumpy attitude and being snappy when asked questions or presented with statements he does not agree with.

If you bring it up again, it's a rehash of the evening before. If you offer a new topic of conversation, or perhaps go another route, such as rubbing your bare foot against his leg, it is possible that he is receptive. If still angry, he won't entertain it and will most likely leave the table.

Then, he's off to do his job. If he's in the right mood, he's groping you from behind as he leaves you a kiss to remember him by, giving you a hat tip, or being a flurry of coattails straight out the door. I mean, he'll probably come back. Maybe.

#and apparently it's not healthy to routinely empty your bladder when it's not ready#(the 'I'll go just in case')#and for me eating on a schedule instead of WHEN I NEED TO#is a surefire way to completely mess up my digestive system#putting me out of commission

Pulling this out of the tags -- I think it's a useful addition because we get trained into adhering to a schedule so young that it can seem like just a normal part of being a human being in a society, like using your words rather than hitting when you're angry. But it's specifically a post-industrialization thing, it's not harmless, and it doesn't have to be this way.

One thing that’s so bizarre about (waves hand) living under capitalism, white supremacy, whatever we want to call All This,

Is it can make it so damn hard to figure out what you need. Both ways. Non-needs seem like needs and actual needs seem like, what are you, some kind of special snowflake?

When people are routinely denied things we need while being actively gaslit* about them being needs, we lose the ability to discern need from non-need. When we’re denied control over our own bodies (and told it’s for our own good!), when we’re required to fulfill our bodily needs from food to bathroom breaks to rest on a set schedule rather than when our bodies need those things (no seriously this is a tactic of abuse, what would you think of a man who insisted his girlfriend/wife had to use the bathroom on a schedule he determined? Or who denied her rest when she needed it?), when we’re denied the ability to say what we really want and what we really feel without punishment. When we’re denied things we need.

Then we lose our ability to identify what we need.

*I know what gaslighting means, and I stand by this usage. Again, what are you, a special snowflake?
