RP: Anakin's New Friend

[master_obiwan]

[ooc: continued from HERE.]

"And mine along with it." Like he needs anymore excitement in his life.

He begins to walk down the hall towards the Council Rooms, trusting Anakin to fall into step with him.

Comments

"Perhaps, though a foray into the archives at this point is simply to make sure we know as much as, or more than, she claims to know. Once Dex gets a free moment, I'm planning to ask him if he's ever heard of people traveling through time. If anyone's heard of it, it would be him."

Obi-Wan's still not entirely convinced that Dia is truly time-displaced, despite the fact that he's not having any luck in trying to explain away Anakin's sudden experience of her through the Force prior to their meeting.

[morally_cryptic]

"If Dex laughs at the idea are you going to buy us dessert too?" Anakin grins slightly. At least he isn't disagreeing that the whole thing sounds ridiculous.

[I suddenly feel like this conversation should end up wrapping up with Obi getting ready to head to the archives and Anakin attempting casually suggest he might go swing by the Senate to see Padme to say hi to the Chancellor after he drops Obi off back at the Temple.]

[master_obiwan]

"Yes, I'll buy desert, too," he replied with a mock eye-roll. "And if he doesn't?"


[thats what I was thinking. Of course, Obi would remind Anakin not to tell anyone about Dia until they figure wth is going on.]

[morally_cryptic]

Anakin frowns. Mostly as if he has to think hard about it, even though they both know he had to be anticipating the response. "I guess we won't get any dessert."

[Anakin is offended Obi-Wan thinks he has to remind him. =P]

[master_obiwan]

The look on Anakin's face has Obi-Wan smili again, this time in a warmer, fonder way. "Or we could have dessert regardless. Force knows it's been one of those days."


[Obi-Wan says Anakin gets excitable and tends to forget things. Hence the constant reminders.]

[morally_cryptic]

"Let me guess," he says, a smile growing on his own face, "berries and cream?"

He's fairly certain Dex keeps them special for Obi-Wan's visits.

[master_obiwan]

The comment draws a laugh out of the elder Jedi. "Unless you have a different suggestion?" he replies.

[morally_cryptic]

"It would be cruel of me to deprive you," Anakin smirks.

[master_obiwan]

[Cheeky bastard <3]

"By that logic I will be deprived in either case; the one would deprive me of my usual indulgence, and the other will deprive me the opportunity to expand my horizons."

Trust Obi-Wan to make dessert complicated.

"A compromise, then, that would satisfy both needs." And so, when FLO returns he's ordering the oft-mentioned berries and cream, along with zoochberry cobbler and denta bean ice cream.

[morally_cryptic]

[where do you think he GETS IT FROM, OBI?

Also he needs a properly laughing icon. Oops.]

Anakin has to laugh, probably more than the order warrants to anyone around them.

"Master, you essentially ordered the same thing twice."

They're still berries and cream, after all. Though at least the cobbler includes pastry.

Also, not that Anakin's complaining, he just thinks it's hilarious.

[master_obiwan]

"Right," he replies, acknowledging his former Padawan's conclusion and raising a brow at Anakin's mirth. "Because the only edible desserts here contains berries, which are usually served with some sort of cream. Not my fault Dex's menu is repetitive for human digestive systems."

In other words: Nice try, Anakin.

[morally_cryptic]

The answer doesn't really diminish his amusement, though he accepts that Obi-Wan is, of course, correct.

"Maybe I should suggest he branch out a little."

When in reality, he was unlikely to possibly insult the Besalisk in such a fashion. Cooks could be notoriously tetchy about their menus, he'd noticed.

[master_obiwan]

"I'd like to see you try." Obi-Wan smiles sweetly.

It's not long before FLO's setting down the two desserts, and Obi-Wan gestures to Anakin to go ahead and pick one.


[Feel free to pull Anakin away with a com-call or something, if you want. Obi-Wan has nothing else to needle Anakin about in regards to their original purpose :)]

[morally_cryptic]

[[ooc: okay....I'm going to be lazy and just handwave that dessert happens and that no matter which he chose he totally stole some of Obi's too [but he left his open for stealing as well so it's totally legit] and then they split up and stuff.]]
