	At least he was talking, now. Thank the Force. When it came to the subject of the younger Anakin’s training they didn’t need her input, so she started for the retaining wall, brushing her fingertips along Obi-Wan’s sleeve-covered arm as she passed him, taking a seat on the wall to give them space to talk.

Anakin was well aware of Obi-Wan’s thoughts about Ani’s schooling. However, he was also keen enough not to get drawn into an argument about something that was so far off the mark.

“Yes. Well, maybe later, I can impart to you all the tricks I know about occupying a Padawan’s time while you…” He did not finish that sentence. He just moved right on to his next point.

“For now, I have your Padawan fully engaged in riveting work. You will not be bothered until I forcefully take the project away from him. So, I’d say the rest of the day is yours to do as you both see fit.”

	And he nearly left it at that. Siri's hand on his sleeve as she passed was almost ample distraction and enticement, but there was something concerning in Anakin's description of Ani's whereabouts... "What? What is he doing? What have you got him working on?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Anakin shrugged, hardly indicative of the mischief he's created. “I’ll leave it to your legendary negotiating skills to tell him the speeder bike he’s designing and building a model for will be only that, and not something he’ll be allowed to actually build.”

There is an easier way, Master, he sent to Obi-Wan. Tell him, he’s your Padawan. He will not despise you.

“Well then, I’ve work to do.” He bowed again to say good bye and turned to leave.

"Wh..." The word that began hardly got farther in his throat than a gasp. He didn't know what to say anyway. Anakin had clearly done that on purpose. Though, that being said, it was a project that Ani was probably so wrapped up in, he wasn't even aware of what Obi-Wan was feeling...

Two parts of him were at war. One wanted to put an end to this madness before Ani got too invested in it... the other wanted to stay here and lock the stupid roof door.

Anakin walked towards the door without stopping to explain further. Obi-Wan would figure it out when he and Siri came down from the clouds eventually. When he reached the door access to this particular stretch of roof he did look back at them.

“Did you know a locked door is the universal request for privacy?” And so he locked the door as he passed through it.

	As the door latched behind Anakin, Obi-Wan closed his eyes and released his first full breath since the interruption before turning to look at Siri guiltily. "He thinks I should tell Ani." An uncertain pause. "What do you think?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Siri rose from where she was sitting on the retaining wall, crossing the space between them. She didn’t reach out for him. Not yet. “Do you want to?” A pause. “Are you ready to?” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	master_kenobi 2013-10-02 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	"I think...I understand...this enough to...to broach it." Another pause. "I'm not sure it would be wise to wait longer. Anakin says holding out on him will erode his trust in me." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She nodded, reaching out and putting her hand on his arm. “Then tell him.” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	master_kenobi 2013-10-02 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	His eyes trailed down to her hand on his arm, then, with only a slight hesitation in the motion, set his hand on top of hers. "I will. ...Later. Later today." He glanced at the door, then smiled a little. "As it seems we're locked in for the time being." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She noticed the slight hesitation before he put his hand on top of hers and it warmed her. He would have completely frozen not all that long ago.

Her answering smile was fond, and more than a little playful. Blue eyes sparkling (and if there was more warmth there than usual it was all Obi-Wan’s fault), she stepped into him, closing the remaining distance between them. “It seems we are.”

The arm she'd been touching slipped back around her waist, the other hand lifting to touch her shoulder then up to brush lightly along her jaw. His eyes followed the movement of his fingers with a small amount of wonder. How had he ended up here, doing this with her, after all this time? How was he suddenly allowed to touch her with no ill consequences? It still jarred against everything he'd been trained to know, but he found it increasingly easy to dismiss that feeling and hold on to how the touch, itself, made him feel instead.

Her breath caught in her throat at the brush of his fingers along her jaw, the touch leaving sparks in its wake. Oh... She leaned into his touch, just a bit, unable to help herself. This was real. Twenty years she’d wanted this. Wanted him. And now they were here. On a rooftop in each other’s arms. She pressed forward, hands coming up to frame his jaw, and she kissed him.

One day. They've been granted the reprieve of one day without having to worry about what comes next or awkward questions or difficult explanations. He knows he'll have to keep his word to Anakin to talk to Ani about it, but that concern melts from his mind as her lips meet his again.

This. It's everything right now. He was a little horrified that it blocked out his ability to sense even Anakin, but now, in the moment, he's happy to lose his senses to it. To her. To sacrifice them for this.

One day.

It made sense to her, then, that they should make the most of it. Or maybe she just wanted them to. She didn’t think that was a wrong reaction to this. To the feel of him against her, and in the Force, the roughness of his beard against her skin. The warmth of him in front of her.

She broke the kiss and pulled away just the slightest bit, looking at him, not for the first time since this all began, with something like wonder. Her fingertips traced the lines of his face, brushing from his brow, down his cheek and gently across his lips, then along the line of his jaw.

He tilted his head a little, leaning his face into her touch. It was like that first time, so long ago, except this time he understood what was happening. What it meant. This time he got to decide what he wanted.

It was a sort of selfishness that he'd never experienced, just... choosing something because he wanted to. It still felt forbidden, he was just becoming more comfortable living with that. He was starting to understand that not everything they denied themselves led, inevitably, to the Fall.

"I talked to Mara," he murmured. "About their new Code."

	She’d never thought they would be here again. That they’d have a second chance. Her thumb brushed lightly across his cheek; her hands were lingering on his face, on him. She wouldn’t stop touching him. Not right now. Not today. Not when she could do so freely, without worrying about interruptions, or explanations. “How did it go?” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	master_kenobi 2013-10-06 09:20 am UTC (link)
	He lifted a hand to trail from her shoulder, down her arm, to linger at her fingertips before intertwining them for a moment. "She explained how attachment can prevent a Fall as easily as we've been taught it can cause it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She never wanted him to stop doing that. It was such a simple gesture, one that she was sure all non-Jedi took for granted... but she didn’t. She wasn’t sure she could. Because it was him. Because they were the way they were. After her mission to take down Krayn she’d been... eccentric, among the Jedi, for her tendency towards physical contact. Obi-Wan had borne the brunt of it, of course. But it had never been... this. Their intertwined fingers still took her by surprise sometimes.

“What do you think?” She was curious how he’d taken Mara’s explanation. What his thoughts were on the differences.

	His fingers untangled from hers and his fingertips trailed up the inside of her wrist. "I think she made some valid points." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That he was touching her so... easily made her breath catch in her throat as much as his fingertips trailing up the inside of her wrist did. It was the locked door, she suspected, making him so at ease, but his actions still affected her. She pressed closer, attention only half on their conversation. The rest was on him; the colour of his eyes, his hair moving gently in the slight breeze. The feel of his fingertips on her arm, against her skin. His presence in the Force.

Just... him.

Her smile was one of her rarer ones, gentle and so very fond.

	He reached up, then, his fingers threading into the hair framing her face, tucking it behind her ear. "She said if you choose the right people to attach yourself to, they can strengthen your resolve to act for the greater good." (Reply to this) (Parent)
