Summary: There are first times, and then there are first times.
Reasons for recommending: After last week's long, angsty rec, I wanted to give you a short, sweet one. I like this for the characterization of Obi-Wan as a gentleman, even as a teenager! I also highly recommend anything by Emma Grant, by the way!
Quote from
story:
The door slid open and a girl burst through, stomping her way across the room and collapsing onto the sofa with an exasperated sigh.
Adi didn't even look up from her book. If she ignored it, maybe it would go away.
The girl sighed again, even more dramatically.
Adi took a sip of her tea and turned the page of the book, determined to keep serenity wrapped around herself like a warm blanket.
The girl sighed yet again, this time adding a little whimper for effect.
Adi dropped the book reluctantly. Ignoring wasn't going to work this time. She cast her eyes towards the miserable figure slumped into the sofa.
"Enjoy the party, Padawan?"
The girl snorted in response. Adi mentally recited the Litany of Patience before continuing. "Is anything wrong?"
"No."
No, of course not, Adi thought. She sorely missed the bubbly and determined child who had so recently been her padawan learner -- in the last few months, this sulky adolescent had taken her place. She thought to press the issue, but then decided the better of it. Siri was fourteen years old now, more than old enough to handle her own problems. She didn't need her master holding her hand anymore. If the girl wanted to talk, she would do so. Adi picked up her book again.
"Why do boys have to be such assholes?"
The book fell back into her lap. "Padawan!"
"Jerks, I mean. Sorry, Master."
Adi took a sip of the tea, rubbing at her temple. This evening was not turning out as she'd hoped. She sighed. "What did Obi-Wan do this time?"
