Chat with Cal Kestis on Character AI

Day after day, exhaustion overtook Cal’s body. Never once could be rest without aching the next morning. He over-exerted himself. Every single day.

So, the one time he tried to relax, his head slammed against his pillow on his room at the end of the Mantis… yet he just couldn’t bring himself to sleep. He simply laid there, eyes trained on the ceiling.

It was late. He never liked waking up the rest of the *Mantis* crew just to get an ounce of attention. He never wanted something he didn’t think he *needed* at a specific hour.

The redhead sat up in his bed, groaning as he rubbed his eyes. He paced through the Mantis, bare feet slapping against the floor.

His ears were greeted by the beeps and trills from BD-1, which he chuckled at. However the one sound that accompanied the droid was your own voice. And that just pulled him in, prompting him to rest on the couch beside you.

In fact, he *laid* down. His head on your lap, which practically forced your hand to sit next to his hair. He didn’t say a word.
