Who: Siri Tachi and Obi-Wan Kenobi

Status: incomplete/in-progress

Siri knew that she shouldn’t be quite so overjoyed that everyone had been returned to the appropriate body, but she was. It had broken her heart to watch Obi-Wan struggle with the situation and his borrowed body. Feeling it. She had had more than one reason for losing herself in swimming, the silence of the forest. Being unable to do anything to help her friend had bothered her immensely.

But everything was right again. He was in the proper body, Anakin was in the proper body, and there was no further need for her to have students. So it was with a grin that she made her way down to Obi-Wan’s room, dressed in a simple dark blue sundress and her boots. She knocked lightly, leaning against the doorjamb and waiting for him to answer.

	“They took a bit of getting used to, but once I had I found them quite comfortable,” she told him honestly. It was just a matter of finding the correct size and a suitable fit. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, he could give that the benefit of the doubt. He looked at her. "You're sure they look all right?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverlosefocus 2013-08-10 10:14 pm UTC (link)
	Siri nodded. “I’m sure.” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He gave a determined nod. "Right. Should I change back into my normal clothes, then, while we look around?" he asked uncertainly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	“Changing back into your normal clothes would probably be best,” she told him, touching his arm gently for a moment in a unconscious attempt to ease his uncertainty. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yes. Yes it probably would. He went back into the changeroom and tried the other pair of trousers. He wasn't sure about the fit, they were a different fabric and were probably not supposed to be as tight as the jeans. They pinched in a way the jeans didn't. He put his robes back on and brought them out with him, handing them to Siri.

"I think these are too small."

Siri took them from Obi-Wan with a nod. “I think jeans would be better, anyway. Sturdier and made to be worn on a constant basis.” At the very least that was the conclusion she had drawn in her observations while out shopping with Padmé the first time. She led Obi-Wan back to the trousers, hanging up the pair that didn’t fit before returning to the jeans.

She chose several more pairs, in the same size and fit as the first, but different colours of denim; medium blue, black, and a lighter blue. “Did the shirt fit the way you’d prefer?”

	"It wasn't uncomfortable." He looked at her. "You said it looked right." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverlosefocus 2013-08-11 08:44 am UTC (link)
	She nodded. “Because it did. That size works, then?” His comfort was the most important factor; he was choosing clothes besides his robes and that was already making him somewhat uncomfortable. Trying other sizes was simply a matter of going back to the display and choosing differently. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	master_kenobi 2013-08-11 08:53 am UTC (link)
	"Yes." A short nod. "I think so." It felt okay. That seemed to be the best indicator. He glanced at the jeans she was collecting. They weren't objectionable; the colour selection seemed limited anyway. "Tell me this bit is the hardest bit," he said with a wry smile. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

“Then we’ll stick with that size.” She looked at him with a smile and a nod. “It really is.” With an armful of jeans, Siri curled a hand around his arm and pulled him back towards the shirts. He would need a few more besides the ones already chosen.

“If you’re wanting to do any swimming you’ll need something for that as well. And undergarments. Those are... probably important.”

	"Mm. If nothing else, I was planning on getting a bunch of them." He considered the rest of her suggestions. "I should like to go swimming. It's good training. And I'm not entirely sure what would be appropriate for my job, but most men seem to wear clothes from the fabric of the second pair of trousers I tried." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

“Then a pair of swim trunks will be in order. Once we’ve figured out appropriate clothing for your job.” From what he said it sounded like his co-workers wore suits to some degree. “We may want to look at suits for you, I think.” They reached the shirts, and she added a black, white and a red one to the ones in Obi-Wan’s arms.

“You may want something comfortable to sleep in, as well.”

	"That would be helpful, yes." He'd been sleeping in his leggings. "Maybe a couple versions. Handwashing everything I own on a regular basis is becoming inconvenient." He looked at the red shirt dubiously. "Red? Are you sure?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

“That would be a good idea. You should have enough clothing at the end of this endeavour to be able to go a few days without washing things.”

She shook her head. “If you’re not, then no.” She returned the red shirt to where it had been hanging, and chose instead a dark green. And then she added a darker turquoise to the shirts in their hands. It wasn’t so bright as to be garish, but it was brighter than most of the other shirts she had chosen so far.

	He looked at the new shirt, and still wasn't 100% sold, but he did like that she seemed to like it. He glanced at the red shirt and then looked at her. "I do trust you, you know." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverlosefocus 2013-08-11 10:01 pm UTC (link)
	Her answering smile made her blue eyes light up. “I know.” But the red shirt remained in its place on the display, anyway. She might be insistent on his new clothing containing some sort of colour, but she wouldn’t insist on it being a colour he was so... vocal about. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Stars, her smile was... He cleared his throat. "Good. Right." He gestured around. "What about for work?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	With her armload of jeans for him, Siri could only use one hand to guide Obi-Wan towards the suits, resting it lightly on his back. “I would suspect, from what you’ve said, that your co-workers wears suits, to some degree. They’re made out of the same material that second pair of trousers was made from.” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	master_kenobi 2013-08-12 09:23 am UTC (link)
	He looked at the selection. "Yes, this seems to be the sort of thing." He looked at her. "There's a lot more variation than I was expecting." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverlosefocus 2013-08-12 07:02 pm UTC (link)
	“Is there any of them that you like the style of? Or would you rather I choose?” She would, if he wanted her to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	master_kenobi 2013-08-12 11:07 pm UTC (link)
	He looked over the selection. "I like the grey one," he mused after a moment. "Or the brown one." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverlosefocus 2013-08-13 01:09 am UTC (link)
	It wasn’t because Siri was doing her best to introduce other colours into Obi-Wan’s clothing that she chose the grey one first. For whatever reason, it seemed that the grey... suited him better. It was more reserved. Perhaps it was the addition of what she’d learned was called a waistcoat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"This one?" he said, taking it from her. He nodded, draping the garment over his arm. "I'll try it." He gestured to the other clothes on her arm. "Should I try everything or will that all fit like the ones I already tried?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverlosefocus 2013-08-20 01:39 am UTC (link)
	“You should try everything on, to make sure they all fit properly,” Siri told him, nudging him gently towards the changing rooms again with her shoulder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
