Making Notes

[Koil Solus]

♠ THEME ♠​

The home of the Silent Badger was a moderate apartment. It had all the things he needed for comfortable living. The floor below was a tattoo parlor that Koil owned as well.

Still healing from his injuries from his fight with Darth Victress the man had taken some much needed time off. It was just enough to properly heal and to make sure that nobody else worried about him. Perhaps when he was in his days as a marauder he would have gone back out there with injuries. But that was before he had people relying on him to do a good job.

Dalyn Solus, Koil's friend and clan mate, had been invited over. The man had a way with singing and music in general. The Silent Badger played some from time to time so it was nice to just have an afternoon of composing some work and playing around. If some actual music came of it that would be ideal.

A small tumbler of whiskey served neat sat on the table in front of him. The Echani was still wearing his HPK but his lower mouth was exposed. His pale fingers tuned the instrument, making sure that it would sound appropriate when they eventually began playing.

[Dalyn Solus]

Wandering in the open door of the apartment with a bottle of tihaar in one hand and a drum tucked under his arm, Dalyn let out a whistle to let Koil know he had arrived before moving to unpack his things. The female badger at his heel, Dalyn's own companion Eulalia, immediately scampered off to join Archie and the sound of their playful growls and yips filled the air.

Settling on the couch opposite Koil, Dalyn placed the drum between his feet and brought his besbev from the holder at his side. The two warriors had known each other for long years and Dalyn didnt feel the need to fill the silence between them with meaningless chatter like he would with most. Raising the bes'bev to his lips, he softly played a few notes and then met the reflection of his own eyes in the Silent Badger's visor.

"Evening, vod. Thank you for the invitation; Eulalia was getting cooped up and you know how much she loves seeing Archie."

[Koil Solus]

The sound of the door opening made Koil raise his head. Archie acted similarly and scampered to meet the newest arrivals. Soon enough the two dire badgers were playing with one another.

Dalyn came in and set down the instruments he brought. He had brought alcohol too by the looks of it though the two Mandalorians had a fair amount with Koil's store of liquor available in the kitchen if either of them wanted some. "Glad you made it. It's nice to see Archie playing with others."

Whenever Koil had been out of town or on mission he usually kept Archie with Dio but the man and his family had lived in Keldabe. Now they were not able to host his dire badger while on assignment. There was not enough relaxation and fun times to be had between missions though it made him smile to see Archie prancing around with Eulalia.

The War Councilor got up and grabbed a few glasses. "Ice?" Koil asked over his shoulder though he preferred to drink his spirits neat. He would bring the glasses back and allow Dalyn to serve the two of them while the Silent Badger finished tuning his instrument.

"Nah, no ice for me. This here's the good stuff from my home village, it's meant to be savored."

The dark haired Mandalorian poured generously, the clear alcohol filling the room with the scent of fruit and spices and the sharp tang of potent alcohol. Placing the bottle down and taking a sip from the glass, Dalyn pulled a pad of flimsiplast and a pen from his coat pocket. It had been some time since the pair had gotten together for anything besides Verda Werda business, and it felt good to unwind with a good drink and friendly company without needing to have his blaster at hand.

"I've been working on a few songs in the shuttle between missions; you pen anything recently?"

 

[Koil Solus]

Koil gave a nod and an approving murmur. He prefered to not sully his spirits with water. Then again he was also the mandalorian who drank most things through a silly straw. Most of the drinks that he considered appropriate to drink through a straw were the type that got served in flamboyant colors and garnishes. But the Echani liked a couple fingers of whiskey or in this case Tihaar served neat.

Taking his own glass he sniffed. It was a good batch from what he could tell. Off to the side the badgers wrestled, bumping into one of the walls a little harder than what the War Councilor thought was calm. "Udesiir" He said in an ordering tone. Archie's mouth hung open a the soft grip of Eulalia's own jaws let go of one of Archie's legs. Like two kids caught rough housing they resumed but less aggressively.

Turning back to the Singing Badger, Koil took a sip from the Tihaar. "Damn that's good. Writing, a little bit. It had set it down for awhile but recently I've been doing more. The ideas are a little different from what I used to do though." His time with Keira had made him happier. The relief of having someone he loved inspired him to make some new music. There were still some of the more moody songs that he had been working on. The negativity that many Mandalorians shared was not going anywhere soon. But at least that was not the only thing in his life. "Have anything in mind you want to play or work on?"
