In retrospect, if Revan could have foreseen that one minor Force vision would have cost him his job at the space port, he'd probably have continued to suffer through the headaches a while longer. Only, one moment he was having a vision and the next he was putting in his two weeks.

Because, maybe after the vision it had seemed right to - that now was the time to stop playing house and return to the path he was once on - but now all he could think about were the concerns. Especially what Kira would think and with her looking to work with Jedi again, and where would he get money from to provide for the girls, and how the kriff was he was even supposed to do what he did with a family now. It wasn't exactly the most safe lifestyle he was looking at.

He couldn't take it back though. For one, even if the space port would let him, deep down, he knows it was time. It feels right, even with all of his concerns and all the hesitations that go along with the decision.

He'll just have to work at everything else as he goes along.

Starting with telling Kira...

Kira's having a hard time waking up this morning. The girls were downstairs with their nanny, eating breakfast, and Ilona was curled against Kira's side, keeping her warm.

She'd wake up every ten minutes or so, try to get up but opt to fall back asleep again. This time though, this time she is forcing herself to sit up.

It's very trying.

She can stay in bed. Revan likes her there.

And, in fact, he joins her there as soon after he says his hellos to the girls and Mana, crawling along the bed to where Kira's attempting to sit up.

"Hey," he greets, and she gets a kiss too.

She kisses him back and then flops back down to her pillow, startling Ilona, who mewls. Kira winces at the pittin's claws in her stomach before the animal jumps off the bed.

"Hey."

"Not that I'm complaining, but what're you doing in my bed?" he asks, getting distracted away from other certain issues he meant to talk to her about.

Like, quitting his job.

She's just far too distracting in bed with her hair splayed on the pillow and smelling so good and... She gets another kiss.

She slides her hands into his hair and kisses him back again, making a little noise. "'m sleepy, that's why."

"Sleepy, huh?" Her jaw gets nipped at. "Didn't you have a full night of sleep?"

"They wouldn't sleep." She tilts her head. "All night, kept askin' for more stories, more, more hugs, Mama, please."

She yawns. "They're evil."

Revan chuckles, curling up beside her, an arm about her waist. "Our daughters are not evil." A pause and then, "Except for when they are."

Kira snuggles closer, her fingers on his arm. "Very very evil."

A pan sounds like it hits floor downstairs, but Revan could care less. Mana has things under control.

"Think we can escape their evil watch for an hour or two? Maybe even three?"

Or is that wishful thinking?

"So we could sleep, right?" Kira snorts. "Mana's taking them shopping I think. In a few hours."

"Well, sleep, yes. But I actually need to talk to you about something."

And there were other thoughts too, but she knows him well enough to know what he's thinking. She'd probably only blush if he voiced them anyway.

She opens her eyes and looks at him. "'Bout what?"

"'Bout me quitting my job," he murmurs, ducking to drop a kiss beneath her ear.

She turns to look at him. "Say again?"

He sighs, shifting back to better look at her. "I quit. I had a vision and I put my two weeks in."

"Oh." She nods, a little more understanding. "Okay. What...what're you going to do now?"

"Nothing yet." He reaches over, tucking hair behind her ear. "But I've to start searching again. I can't...ignore it anymore. It's going to take me away from the girls and you though, and you wanted to help out the Jedi...which you could do, I want you to so we'll work it out."

"Don't worry about it." She whispers. "I can take them to Dantooine with me. Mana can come. If she wants."

She curls her fingers around his. "I'll miss you."

"I'll go to Dantooine with you," he laughs, quickly kissing her. "I'm not leaving yet."

She doesn't voice her opinion about how he's still leaving...just kisses him back.

"So unless you're leaving tomorrow, I'll go," he continues, breaking the kiss. "And maybe we can give Mana a break from the girls."

"Not tomorrow." She snort. "I haven't even told Mical yes yet."

Been stringing them along for like..two weeks. GOOD JOB KIRA.

She's a tease like that.

"How come you haven't answered him?"

"I've just been...busy. Putting it off." She sighs. "I didn't want to go to work again. Didn't want to drag the girls along with me. But I need to. I need to do this."

"Then do it," Revan urges, wanting to see her at work and not feel as if he's been keeping her away from it. "And don't think of it like dragging the girls along."

She's nodding as he talks, already agreeing. "I know. I know. I just...feel bad. Uprooting them from here. They have friends at the park now. Little kids who know them by name and they run around and play and this is what I wanted for them."

She rolls over onto her stomach. "Not to take them all over the place because Mommy has to save the galaxy again."

"Maybe they'll like it," he suggests, reaching over to rub the back of her neck. "We can't exactly read their minds - or, well, we could..."

"I don't think they'd be thinking about that." Kira snorts, humming softly. "More about how they wish Mommy and Daddy could get them more toys."

"Good point," and what he doesn't say is how he thinks toys are going to be a little harder to buy in the upcoming months, credits having to be saved for more important things.

[ooc: KIM DO NOT HATE ME I AM SO SORRY I FAIL D:]

She picks up the gist of his thoughts and looks at him. "It's okay. They're spoiled enough."

"Maybe being around the Jedi will do them good. Teach them the minamalist ways."

Kira snorts. "Oh yeah, they'll love that. You know we're going to be bringing all of their favourites and you know that all of their favourites are everything they own."

"We're not bringing everything," Revan warns now.

(Except if the girls start crying about it, he might have trouble holding to this idea.)

"You can be the one to tell them that." She grins, turning to lay on her side.

Revan frowns, thinking about this.

"Fine. But just back me up when I need it."

She buries her head in her arms. "Fine. But if they make that sad face, I don't know if I could handle that."

After a second thought: "Maybe we'll pack them up in the middle of the night while they're sleeping and go."

Kira lifts her head again and grins. "Good idea."

"I do have them on occasion still," and he leans over to steal a kiss while he can.

She kisses him back, smiling against his mouth. "Yes you do."

"Think we can get away without them noticing our absence a little longer?" he breathes, returning the grin against her own.

"Mana's got them under control," Kira whispers. "We'll be good for a bit."
