Master. Master! Master? KITTY!

[some meta play and fun. this doesn't affect the Onderon mission at all.]

Dawn at the temple is always a soothing affair, and Obi-Wan generally enjoys getting up for morning exercises and meditations. He's always up with the first of them and, depending on which other members of the Order are present, he usually leads the group.

But today, for some reason, he's just not feeling up to it. His bed is far too comfy and warm and, and....hmmmmmmmCozy. Nice and cozy and fluffy.

Sigh...

He can sleep in just this once, can't he?

Anakin wheels around the corner, catches sight of Obi-Wan again, and cheats.

Drawing on the Force, he uses it to speed up his run until he's close enough to pounce the kitten in a thoroughly undignified way. "Gotcha!"

Of course, so intent was he on catching Master Kitty-Wan, he didn't notice he had an audience...

[Kitty-Wan? *dies*]

"MEER!" which, roughly translates into damn!, emerges from Kitty. He tries to bat at Anakin again, but he's being held in such a way that his attacks are worthless.

He's caught. A pouty-sounding "mew" emerges, followed but the sound of a loud, deliberate, cough.

And there, standing over them, one brow raised in question, hands folded inside his robes, as tall and stern as ever, is Senior Councillor, Master Mace Windu.

The look on Anakin's face roughtly translates to oh shit. He tries for a meek innocent smile as he stands, vaguely attempting to hide the kitten in his robes or something. "Good morning, Master Windu."

[master-obiwan.livejournal.com]

"Good morning Padawan Skywalker." He notes the kitty-stuffing, and of course the mewling has been pretty noticeable. "Is everything okay?"

Obi-Kitty, for the most part is trying to escape still, but is distracted by the robes once Anakin gets him that far.

The material is soft and, and...warm. Like his bed...

purrrr

Is Obi-Wan, vibrating? Sigh.

"Uhm," beams his best innocent-padawan smile, "yes! Yes, everything's fine!" This is not Obi-Wan turned into a feline that I'm hoping in vain for you not to notice. This is not the Jedi Master you are looking for. I can go about my business.

"It's just. Uhm." Sigh again, and nod down at the kitten, "He's Obi-Wan's." Please oh please oh please think he's just finally picked up one of Qui-Gon's habits. Please don't tell me to put him outside.

Kitty? is trying to nest in Anakin's robes, purring loudly. Who knew that Anakin would be so warm and comfy?

Mace? doesn't look like he quite believes Anakin. "Obi-Wan's? Your Master knows that pets aren't...technically...allowed within the Temple." That pets aren't allowed, period!

A pause before, "I won't report the kitten to the Council, so long as he is kept out of sight. Speaking of Obi-Wan, we missed him at morning meditation. I was just on my way to his quarters to see if he was all right..."

[morally-cryptic.livejournal.com]

Anakin makes a mental note to take lots of blackmail photos of Obi-Wan. Meaning that with as much love and affection as possible.

At any rate, he beams at Mace, "Thank you Master, I'll make sure he stays out of sight." And hopefully Obi-Wan will turn back into himself soon.

Mace's next comment causes Anakin to pale, just a little, "He's fine, really. I think he just wanted to sleep in a little extra today since...well...things have been a bit stressful lately." And it's so totally true, you know.

[master-obiwan.livejournal.com]

Obi-Kitty is still squirming a bit. While trying to find a good spot, he uses his claws to anchor himself, which means inadvertantly stabbing Anakin.

Stern-Jedi-Master Look. "I mean it, Anakin. If I catch sight of the kitten again, he has to leave the Temple."

A glance down the hallway. "It's not like Obi-Wan to want to sleep in. I'll just pop by and make sure he doesn't need anything. I mean, if he needs you to take care of his cat then..." he leaves the comment hanging, shrugs and starts to move off down the hallway.

[morally-cryptic.livejournal.com]

Anakin bites back a yelp, though whether it's directed at Mace or Obi-Wan or both is up for debate. He's suddenly tempted to hold the little darling in his robotic hand...

However, he doesn't, but does follow Master Windu, "I wouldn't call it need really..." and he's suddenly a little offended by the implication Mace just gave about Anakin's fitness at taking care of animals.

[master-obiwan.livejournal.com]

All this hard work is tiring. And hungry. Yes. Tuna and cream would go over really nice, followed by a nice, loooong snuggle with Anakin's robes...

Obi-Kitty mewls something to this effect.

"Well, nevertheless, I'm still going to check up on him."

And it's no time at all before they're standing before Obi-Wan's room once more. The door is still standing open and the room is empty. Mace walks in, looks around, knocks on the 'fresher door...no Obi-Wan. "Hrmmm. Door open, rom empty. Maybe he's gotten up to go to the Healer's....but why not close the door? Anyhow I better head down there to check."

[morally-cryptic.livejournal.com]

Well, no real harm there, he won't be found at the Healer's. And hopefully he might assume that Obi-Wan got up for a walk or went to get breakfast or. Something. Anything but that he turned into a cat. Or went AWOL. That would be bad.

"Okay, Master Windu. I'll...wait up here. And keep the cat inside and out of the way."

[master-obiwan.livejournal.com]

Master Windu nods, gives Anakin an affectionate pat on the shoulder and heads off.

Obi-Kitty, having not recieved his tuna and cream after having so nicely requested it pokes Anakin again, adding a louder mewled request.

Feed me, damnit!

[morally-cryptic.livejournal.com]

He looks down at Obi-Kitty, scowling just a little. "Let me gues...you're hungry?"

Oh well, Anakin's hungry too. Here's hoping Obi-Wan has something suitable for a cat in his quarters since Anakin had just promised Mace he wouldn't let the cat be seen and he didn't trust Obi-Kitty to be left alone long enough for Anakin to go down to the dining hall.

[master-obiwan.livejournal.com]

Of course, a quick perusal of Obi-Wan's quarters reveals nothing that is suitable for cat consumption.

Obi-Kitty mewls plaintively. His poor little tummy is growly like his Padawan...

[morally-cryptic.livejournal.com]

Anakin contemplates. There's no way he's leaving Obi-Wan alone. But he's hungry, and so is the cat his Master.

For some reason, his thoughts turn to Padme and the fact that he knows she's on planet. And...it's a vaguely acceptable excuse to go see her and maybe she'd know what to feed a cat! She'd probably never believe the cat was Obi-Wan though, but...then again...it's not like she had any reason not to trust him.

Beaming inwardly, Anakin snuggles Obi into his robes, making sure he would be able to keep a good hold on the cat and takes off toward Padme's.
