   Summary

   Cal’s daemon hasn’t settled yet on the day Master Tapal asks him to be his padawan. But that's to be expected – he's only nine, after all. But then she doesn't settle when he goes to war either, and then at the age of twelve she’s still flitting between forms, even when his entire world (when the entire galaxy) comes crumbling down around them. On Bracca, Cal starts to find it easier to just pretend she already has.

   By seventeen, he’s starting to suspect she never will.

    

   Or: the self-indulgent daemon!AU nobody asked for.
