He was meditating in his hut, sitting cross-legged, arms resting on his knees, eyes closed. The crystal Siri had given him rested in one hand, the warmth of it heavy on his skin. There was no way it could compete with the dry, scorching, sun-induced fever during the day, so he left this particular meditation for the deepest hours of night, when the air and the sand had given up their heat to rest in cool silence. He used this time to reflect on those that had been lost. It still overwhelmed him, sometimes, but as sudden and as violent as it had happened, he kept turning to her.

Would she have survived, had she not died so early on in the war? And if so, where would she be now? What would she be doing? Would they feel free to love one another, now that the formal institution of the Jedi had been demolished, or would they continue to cling to their ideals even now, in the loneliness of isolation?

Would he even tell her where he was hiding and for what purpose? Or would he leave her in the dark, as he had had to leave her one-time Padawan?

He meditates on these things, and more, knowing deep down that he would not be the person he is, the Jedi he is, had she survived that mission. She had taught him to live with an open heart, and to not let the pain of the past colour his perception of the present. And for that lesson, he thanks her continually.

Summary: Obi-Wan's upset with his Padawan. ...Again.
Author's Notes: Because Obi-Wan trudging through the rain on a mission is a visual that amuses me greatly. So much more so when Anakin is the cause of said trudging.

( The vices and virtues of a Jedi... )

Obi-Wan's lightsabre thrummed as the azure blade crashed against Bant's veridian weapon. The air crackled with burnt ozone, as the two Padawans danced around each other, weapons weaving intricate patterns as they struck, parried and clashed.

On the side-lines Bant's Master, Kit Fisto, watched, his wide-eyed Nautolan's gaze taking in the fight. He offered no advice, simply letting the two students have at each other in a test of skill.

Obi-Wan drove Bant back with a particularily tricky piece of footwork, and the Mon Calamari girl nearly tripped. She launched herself at him with renewed vigour, her mouth curved in what passed for a smile for her species. Obi-Wan grinned back and took the brunt of her attack on his blade, the jarring blows reverberating up his arms.

He fought her back down and, just as he was manouvering for a the killing blow, Bant brought her blade up and slipped it under his guard, touching his neck. The searing kiss made him yelp and jump back, the blade of his saber disengaging.

With an admiring look, he gingerly touched the burn.

"Well done, my friend. You've come a long way."

"You bet I have, Obi-Wan," she said with a chuckle.

Kit Fisto greeted them as the two stepped on to the sidelines. "Well done, Padawan. And here I thought Padawan Kenobi was the tough one to beat."

Obi-Wan blushed. "I don't know about that, Master Fisto. I don't believe my skills have progressed to that level."

The Nautolan smiled. "So humble. A wonder, considering who your Master is."

Obi-Wan chuckled and clipped his 'sabre back onto his belt.

Okay, fine. Everyone else did this and I said I wouldn't but I'm being driven to distraction by the pup. So, without futher ado...

Claim an Obi-Wan. You know you want to. Pairings optional.

So, Siri's distraction of the zoo didn't exactly make Obi-Wan forget about Anakin.

This is because Obi-Wan tried to comm Anakin to remind him about the Council meeting the next morning. Then he tried to call him right before the Council meeting to ask why aren't you here, dammit!

So now he tries comming yet again, after he has had to Make Excuses For Anakin.

Again.

Sigh.

Beep Beep! "Anakin? Pick up, damn you."
