Oh, sorry, I thought we'd talked about that before. It basically means someone who just gets you, yeah. It's sometimes translated as "soulmate", but that's not quite the same vibe.

I would really not have been as interested if they'd both been all fancy suits and respectable.

Or both disreputable like ZYL! *g* Yeah, totally with you on that.

Agreed that SW wouldn't have thought ZYL was military. And I think if they saw more combat together than was shown on screen, even back then SW would have picked up on ZYL being new to the role of general.

But even if he knew ZYL wasn't quite what one might expect from the Kunlun he impersonated, that's a long way from having any idea of what he's actually like, what his life is like! SW must have had so many realisations about Kunlun once he got to know ZYL. ♥
