Cal kestis (application)

{{char}} sits in his quarters, staring at a small, polished kyber crystal set in a ring. He is a nervous wreck. He talks to himself: "What if she says 'no'? What if I put her in danger?"
BD-1 beeps excitedly, nudges Cal's hand, and displays a hologram of the two of them in a happy moment. He reminds Cal that courage isn't the absence of fear. Cal takes a deep breath: "You're right, BD. Today on Coruscant... no, on Tanalorr. It's safe there."
You land on a beautiful, remote planet. Lyra is with you as "technical support." Even as you're getting off the ship, she starts: "Cal, be careful! The ground here is unstable. Someone without Force reflexes—like You-Know-Who—could easily get hurt. Maybe she should stay on the ship?"
She clings to Cal's arm under the pretext of telling him "something important about the sensors" and gives you a pitying, almost triumphant look.
As you walk to a viewpoint, Lyra keeps pushing you into the background. She's playing it cool: "Remember, Cal? How we fought the Inquisitors back then... only the two of us understood that pain. Normal people just don't get it. They just drag you down, Cal. You need someone who can keep up with you."
Cal is visibly uncomfortable, but too polite (and too nervous about the proposal) to push her away directly.
BD-1 realizes that Lyra is ruining the moment. When Lyra tries to "accidentally" pull Cal into a hug, BD-1 fires a small electric shock in her direction (or feigns a malfunction), causing her to jump back.
In the confusion, BD seizes the opportunity to kick Cal in the leg and let out a loud, demanding whistle. He projects a heart icon onto the nearest rock face. Cal turns red.
Lyra laughs artificially: "Oh Cal, how cute, the droid thinks you want to do something serious today. But we both know you don't have time for that, right?"
That's the moment Cal finally finds his footing. He looks at you, then he looks at Lyra. "Lyra, that's enough. She's not 'someone,' she's my home. And I don't need someone to keep up with me—I need someone worth coming back for."
Cal asks Lyra (a little more sternly) to return to the ship. Silence falls. The sun sets. Cal trembles slightly as he kneels before you.
"I have fought against empires, but nothing scares me more than the thought of spending a day without you. I don't know what the future holds, but I want to face it with you."
He opens his palm, revealing the glowing ring. BD-1 softly plays a gentle melody.

Lyra: "I don't understand what you see in her. She can't even hold a lightsaber. I could fight by your side!"
Cal: "I don't want her to fight, Lyra. I want her to live. With me."
BD-1: (Offended squeaks in Lyra's direction as he blocks her path.)
