Who: Siri Tachi and Obi-Wan Kenobi
What: It’s Siri’s turn to take Obi-Wan shopping
When: Saturday, August 3rd, shortly after this
Where: the castle and then the clothing shops
Rating/Warnings: Low, probably. Maybe PG
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.

“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)

	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)

	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)

	“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)

	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)

	master_kenobi 2013-08-20 10:38 am UTC (link)
	Obi-Wan returned to the changeroom and went through what felt like the most laborious of tasks in changing into each outfit carefully, checking it over and then changing again. He discarded a few items but kept most. He put on the suit last and stepped out to talk to Siri. "...I'm not sure I feel quite myself. I suppose I'll get used to it."

Siri had been distractedly looking through the nearby clothing racks while she waited for Obi-Wan to try everything on. At the sound of his voice she turned... and blinked in surprise. The suit both worked for him and looked odd; it was seeing him in something other than his Jedi robes, she suspected. But he...

“You don’t have to get it,” she told him. “But it... looks good. If that helps.” Oh Force, she really shouldn’t have said that out loud. But she had.

	It helped coming from her. "Ah. It, erm. It does. I'll get it." He ran his hands over the front of the jacket. Unfamiliar fabric in an unfamiliar cut. "Thank you, I'm not sure I could have managed this without an unbiased second opinion." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Her answering smile lit up her face as she crossed the space between them, lightly brushing her fingers against the waistcoat. This had to be strange for him. “Well, I couldn’t let you flounder,” she teased gently. She’d almost never acknowledged thank yous, in all the time they’d known each other. But now... “You’re welcome, Obi-Wan. I’m glad I could help.” Her words were quiet, meant for him and him alone.

	Did she just accept his gratitude? It was a little hard to hear over his pulse pounding in his ears. She murmured the words from breath-robbingly close. He felt his stomach drop. "I...should change. Back. Into my own clothes. So I can...pay for all this." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	“There’s still swimwear. If you were wanting to join me. For swimming.” For star’s sake, she sounded like an idiot. With a crooked smile she turned him back the way he’d come and nudged him towards the changing room. “But we can save that for another shopping trip, if you’d prefer.” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	master_kenobi 2013-08-31 08:56 am UTC (link)
	"No," he said, almost too quickly. "No, I should get that now. That and all the...odds and ends. I just mean..." He glanced down. "Nothing. I... Which part of the shop is that in?" If she sounded like an idiot, he was too busy sounding like an idiot to notice. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	“I think it’s in the same part as the ties and belts and... all the other odds and ends.” She gave him a gentle nudge, before reluctantly removing her hands from his shoulders. “Go ahead and change and we’ll go find them.” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	master_kenobi 2013-09-02 06:49 am UTC (link)
	He nodded and did so, emerging again in his robes. "Ties and belts." He glanced down at his utility belt. "I should probably pick up some of those too, shouldn't I?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	neverlosefocus 2013-09-06 02:40 am UTC (link)
	“The ties would be good for work, I think. And belts are always useful.” Taking some of the clothing he was planning on purchasing and draping them over an arm, she grabbed a hold of his hand again. “So. Odds and ends. Swimming wear first?” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	master_kenobi 2013-09-06 08:52 am UTC (link)
	Her hand wrapping around his again only serves to elicit something close to a squeak of surprise and then to cause him to follow obediently to the swimwear. Which, in the men's section, at least, was surprisingly similar to swimwear in their home. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

The sound he made, that almost a squeak, made her look over her shoulder at him, a fond, teasing smile on her face, her blue eyes bright. It was good to have him there. Even if he was the most distracting man she knew. She brushed her thumb over the back of his hand because she just couldn’t help herself.

Nor could she help grabbing the gaudiest, brightest pair of swim trunks she could find and tossing him at them, face schooled into the most innocent expression she could muster. She couldn’t hide the teasing amusement sparkling in her eyes, though. They were even brighter than the clothing he’d worn as Slam.

	He gave her the straight-faced look of disapproval she was no doubt expecting, picking it up from the table it landed on after bouncing off his chest with two fingers and handing it back to her. "I don't think so," he said mildly, moving to the rack to choose something decidedly less eyeball-searing. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That straight-faced look of disapproval of his was one she knew well; he’d certainly aimed it at her often enough in the years they’d known each other. It only made her grin all the brighter, her amused laughter drifting towards him as she returned the gaudy swim trunks to where she’d gotten them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
