********

Touching another's mind was something that was always done with permission. Swaying another's mind was something that was done without it. Not letting the other person know what was happening was the key factor, and required characteristics more in tune with a sabacc player's rather than a Jedi's. It was the calm assurance that the notion was legitimate and wholly believed by the person suggesting it; it was the neutral expression and the maintained eye-contact from a respectful distance; it was the implied notion that the other person would be foolish or considered insane, should they not believe it.

Obi-Wan wasn't believing it now, as the tiny hands pressed lightly on his cheeks and the scrunch-eyed peer stared at him from several inches away. The weight of the young child in his lap was awkward, as the Youngling balanced precariously on the Master's knees, one foot on each. Obi-Wan's lips twitched with the effort of suppressing his smile, as the ineffective attempt at persuasion trickled through the force like a pebble falling into a large puddle. He swallowed the chuckle that threatened to bubble forth as he tried to work through the ramifications of giving in to the child's demand.

What could it hurt, he thought, if he indulged the little one this single time?

With a mock sigh, the Jedi Master feigned the glossed reply of one under the influence of the Jedi mind trick, "Yes, Llyl, we can go get a cookie from the cafeteria...."

Oh yes, I did see this one, back when you posted it. :)

Anakin would totally call foul. Because Obi never let him get away with it.

[master-obiwan.livejournal.com]

I bet he would! He's softened in his old age.

[hasabluestreak.livejournal.com]

Hee. I miss them.

No kidding!

[morally-cryptic.livejournal.com]

I also have no idea why it was posting as that account. *facepalm*

[master-obiwan.livejournal.com]

*giggles* at least I knew it was you?

And yes, I miss them, too :) If he wasn't so maddening with his level of participation, and its tendency to fluctuate....*sighs*

[morally-cryptic.livejournal.com]

It was a Hayden!Character,j of course it was me. ;)

I know the feeling. Anakin's talking now but I can't be assured he won't clam up again in a day or two. *pokes him*

[master-obiwan.livejournal.com]

*pokes him, too, for good measure* Obi's been very particular about his stuff, lately, too. Like, he's very picky about who he's written with and where and about what.

If I didn't know any better, I'd almost say he's gone and joined SAG and believes himself to be a bad-ass actor-type-dude. *peers at him*

[morally-cryptic.livejournal.com]

*giggle* Silly Obi.

Anakin just doesn't talk a ton. He did post in sixwordstories today about (not) meditating. And chatted with an Obi there once (but it wasn't the same!!!1!11!). Uh, and that's mostly it. Of course, he went and made me find him some more icons so maybe he plans on doing more now or something.

[master-obiwan.livejournal.com]

I hope so! Because I miss him!

And yeah, I need to over-haul my icons for most of my journals.

[morally-cryptic.livejournal.com]

We'll have to dig up a good prompt.

:D

[master-obiwan.livejournal.com]

Yay!
