It was close to midnight and Obi-Wan was sitting in the backyard as if the dark were not the slightest issue. He could see as clearly by moonlight as by the sun these days. With a half-empty beer in his hand, he wasn't inclined to give it a second thought.
With his legs stretched out on the sun-cooked grass, he looked much more lazy than he felt. His chest was heavy and he found himself sighing often. His eyes were on the stars. He marveled with a sense of despair at their awesomeness and their distance. He knew more about mythology than constellations, and he wished it were the other way around.
The back of his head settled into the earth. Obi-Wan closed his eyes and thought of Dani's yard and the last time he was flat on the grass. His arms felt empty now.
He thought about the ancient peoples of every planet, and whether or not they fathomed what it was like to see a star up close. He wondered if they had accounted for the gravity and the fire, or if it was all just poetry.
