The Case Of The Disappearing Jedi In The Land Of Attachments
Who: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Siri Tachi and Anakin Skywalker
What: Anakin has taught Siri to silence her presence in the Force. Unfortunately nobody has told Obi-Wan that this can be done.
When: Tuesday, August 13, approx 2am.
Where: Obi-Wan's room, Siri's room and all over the place.
Rating/Warnings: PG with Jedi angst and inappropriate attachments
Status: Closed; Incomplete

Obi-Wan woke suddenly, sitting bolt upright, Siri's name on his lips before he consciously realized what his deeper subconscious had felt in the Force. Siri was gone. He frowned, closing his eyes again to reach out, intentionally looking for her presence in the Force, but it wasn't there. He got out of bed. He didn't even bother pulling on a housecoat or boots over his pyjamas. He went out into the hall, to her room, and banged on the door. When no answer came, he used the Force to push it open, stepping inside with a franticness that was barely hidden under his mildly uneasy exterior. She wasn't there.

Feeling extremely agitated at that point, he hurried out of Siri's room and headed for Anakin's. He banged on the door without any regard for the hour. He'd probably wake Padme, it occurred to him after he'd done it, but it also occurred to him that she'd survive.

Anakin, he projected forcefully. Come out here.

Siri’s ability to speak died momentarily at Obi-Wan’s words. She hadn’t expected him to bring it up. At all. For a very rare moment she was speechless. Absolutely without the ability to say anything at all. If she was honest she would admit her own failings, her own breaking of their deal. But if she admitted it, would he pull away from her? Would he find reasons to avoid spending time with together with her? Would the distance between them increase?

She could lie. It was possible; she could hide her tells in the Force and lie to him. Tell him no, there was no breaking of their deal. Postpone things a little bit longer. But watching him look down at the water she wasn’t sure she could do it. She wasn’t sure she could do it at all. She wasn’t sure she wanted to.

It was too easy to shift closer to him, to curl her legs under her and shift to face him. Her hand cupping his cheek, she gently turned his face to hers. “If you have... then I have.”

	"Wait." He didn't get up. He accepted her hand only to tug her back down. He was missing information - important information - and how was he supposed to even begin to come to a decision without it? "What do you want?" It was a fair question. She'd asked it but not answered it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"So..." So. Coherent thoughts were hard to form at that point. He took a breath, tried to regroup. He cleared his throat. "We'll consider our current options. Revisit our deal. Perhaps, if we deem it...mutually beneficial, we'll make some...adjustments." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So business-like. It was such a very Obi-Wan approach to things. And it made her smile, lighting up her face, her blue eyes sparkling in the moonlight. She nodded. “Agreed.” (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why did she have to smile like that when he was trying to think? He nodded too, mostly because he was trying to reorder his words again. This time he did stand, offering her a hand up. "Then we'll reconvene... at some point that isn't the middle of the night. Once we've had a chance to consider the issue." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
