    Ask Growing Pains

    Kasim couldn't suppress a slight eye roll as his brother claimed luck over skill. Luck might win you one Huttball match. It took skill and a certain unmatchable intensity to win two- both things that Altair had in spades. All the same, Kasim reflected, this was definitely a different side to his...

    Ask Growing Pains

    Now it was Kasim's turn to listen, and as he did so he reflected how few of these kinds of conversations he'd had with his older brother throughout the years. For all their disagreements and headbutting, they'd hardly ever strayed deeper than whatever surface issue they were arguing about...

    Ask Growing Pains

    Kasim ground his teeth in frustration as his older brother jumped to conclusions like a Boga on Utapau. He didn't begrudge Altair his guesses as to why Kasim wanted to leave- that had been what he'd asked- but the accusations that Kasim was unwilling to fix things came out of left field. Even...

    Ask Growing Pains

    Kasim had expected a speech, or a lecture, or even a beating, should they ever stand face to face again. Then again, he reminded himself, any of those could still occur. He'd expected Tai to show up in the days following their argument at the palace- not months afterward, even factoring in a new...

    Ask Growing Pains

    Kasim had told Lalia that he'd never go back to the palace, and in the weeks following he'd been true to his word. Instead, Kasim had set about finding transportation off the planet which, thanks to his brothers' sphere of influence, had to be off the record as well. Off the record meant more...

    Ask I'll Tell You When You're Older

    Kasim was sorely tempted to go for something stronger than the coffee that he eventually ordered, but with Lalia present he decided to play it safe. Besides, he'd developed an affinity for the drink; it was cheap, easy to find, and it sometimes helped with the headaches when other fixes weren't...

    Ask I'll Tell You When You're Older

    Kasim was about to argue with Lalia over the dangers of delving into whatever the pulse was, but decided to bite his tongue. She was a Din, after all, and once she'd made up her mind on something there was no dissuading her. Besides, Lalia had more options to draw on than he did; namely, access...

    Ask I'll Tell You When You're Older

    Kasim could see that Lalia didn't quite understand his feelings surrounding Clove and Altair's relationship, but he decided against clarifying when his younger sister launched into an explanation of the past several months of her life. If anything, it was a welcome distraction from resentful...

    Ask I'll Tell You When You're Older

    Kasim's ribs protested under Lalia's hug- she'd also gotten stronger since the last time they'd seen each other- but he didn't mind. It had been too long since he'd been properly hugged, anyways, and him leaving early from the Din family get together had prolonged that even further. And in the...

    Ask I'll Tell You When You're Older

    Try as he might, Kasim couldn't stay angry at Lalia for more than a couple seconds tops; so although his mood was still darkened by the events of the palace, his anger- towards his baby sister, at least- abated. The orange Tiefling weighed her responses before acquiescing. "C'mere" he said...

    Ask I'll Tell You When You're Older

    Kasim was a couple of blocks away from the palace when he finally let his guard down. After his first exit attempt had been met with a backhand, he'd waited until a more natural time to leave. And as "luck" would have it, he hadn't had to wait long; Clove had gone into labor a few moments later...

    Ask Shattered Fantasies

    Kasim sensed Jabari moving in and as his older brother raised his hand, the orange Tiefling involuntarily flinched. The blow landed, as it always did, whenever his older siblings or parents decided that he'd done something wrong. The fact that it wasn't imbued with the Force like it often was...

    Ask Shattered Fantasies

    Try as he might, Kasim couldn't keep his jaw from dropping open as Altair announced his news. On one hand, he wasn't surprised- Altair didn't always think with the head that was located between his horns- but even so, Kasim was glad that he had been sitting down when Altair had spoken. Amidst...

    Ask Shattered Fantasies

    Kasim nearly blew off his older brother's invitation, but decided to attend for two reasons. First, failing to show to a Din get together without solid excuse was bound to draw the attention of his many siblings his direction; attention that Kasim didn't want at this particular point in his...

    Glitter and Blood

    A random planet. A random, cheap motel. A random message in the middle of the night. Kasim usually liked waking up, but he'd felt the same awful feeling that Lalia had. Suddenly being awake that was worse than being asleep. The orange tiefling sighed and reached for the datapad he's placed on...
