What was he reading? A torrid historical romance, I think. In my opinion, he would be suckers for them, living vicariously.
As for Anakin's eyes? "Anakin, your balls were so..." Hee!
I'm still not sure about the characterization for this piece. We argued it back and forth, my co-writer and I, and it was kind of a step outside the norm for us. We've written both tender and aggressive Anakins before, but Obi-Wans that have obviously had hot lovin' before are somewhat new for us. This is probably also the closest we've come to a true PWP. It was a fun change.
