Every so often he paused to kneel and sip some water from his bottle. His stomach’s fantasies were no longer of sizzling nerf strips but of sweet, filling, sticky, amber uj cake. It was a rare treat. His training sergeant had allowed his squad—his original squad—to try it, breaking the Kaminoan rules on feeding clones carefully balanced nutritional mixes. “You’re still just boys,” he’d told them. “Fill yer boots.” And they had. Good old Kal.

The flavor was still achingly vivid in Darman’s mind. He wondered what other normal civilian indulgences he might enjoy if he had access to them.

He slapped the thought down hard. His discipline was his self-esteem. He was a professional.

He still thought about that uj cake, though.

First mention of the uj cake!!! Boy is so hungry he is daydreaming about uj cake and then beating himself up like BOY GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER YOU ARE A SOLDIER!!! But but but. Uj cake. I love Darman more and more. 

Also the fact that Sergeant Skirata broke the rules and feed them with sweets anyway. <333
