Library, Sunday

[unusual_sith]

Lana was in the library again today, but not alone, because Gemis was with her. The books seemed unfazed by the tuk'ata, a few brave ones even hurling themselves at him to get rides.

"Honestly?" Lana asked him as he galloped by with a book of poetry and a history tome perched between his spines.

"What?" Gemis grinned. "I like books."

Well, that certainly tracked.

The library was open!

"A fox," he confirmed. "Vulpes vulpes to be precies. I am a mix between the more common red fox, and a more rare silver coloration."

"He's a nerd," Illyana repeated, though more fondly this time. "I keep telling him he doesn't have to explain himself, he's fine as he is."

Nestor just gave her a long-suffering sigh. "I wonder where I picked up the habit."

Lana smiled. "I don't mind."

"Neither do I," Gemis added. "I'm a tuk'ata," he explained in turn. "A species developed by Sith breeding and alchemy to companion with Sith Lords and guard their tombs. We're known for being vicious but loyal," he added, a bit proud.

Lana gave Illyana an amused shrug. What could you do with nerds?
