Who: Ahsoka + Obi-wan and YOU
Broadcast: No
Action: Planet-side
When: 10th of Jan

[ As promised, in a few days time, Ahsoka and Obi-Wan make their way to the markets. They dress warmly, Obi-Wan procuring a thick cloak for himself. It's hard to feel like a Jedi Master without one.

He watches as Ahsoka flits from stall to stall as he lingers behind her, to correct her on her "bargaining" technique. In a way, they resemble a teenager, saddled with a wiser all-knowing uncle. He strokes his beard in light amusement. This is probably what he needed right now, a reassessment of his priorities, the here and now. ]

True.

I should probably go easy on poor Obi-Wan's heart, though. He's getting on in years.

[She's teasing; obviously, Obi-Wan is not that old. It sounds more like an ongoing joke between them.]

I'm sure you're turning his hair grey.

He'd dye it. He looks all perfect Jedi on the outside, but I think he's secretly proud of his ginger locks.

I guess everyone has their thing.

Sure. I do too.

What's yours?

Like... vanity thing?

Yeah. Something you're proud of.

Oh. Um... my shooting, I guess?

Hey, that's pretty cool!

You should be proud of that. More than hair, anyway.

Well, I like my hair, too, if that counts for something, but I don't think I'd change the color.

Yeah?

I've always kind of wondered what it feels like. I mean-- I know you don't have any actual feeling in it, but... is it warm? Heavy?

I'm not sure I've thought of it before. If it's wet, it can make you cold?

Oh! That's right... it takes a while to dry, doesn't it? Like clothes...

Yeah, exactly. I tend to braid mine pretty quickly so it can stay wet for awhile.

What about when the weather's like this? Wouldn't it freeze...?

I guess it could, if it's cold enough. But it insulates itself too.

Huh.

Sorry-- this stuff must seem so basic to you. Most of the girls in the order keep their hair short, too, so...

When we're back on the fleet I can let you play with it sometime, if you want? Show you how to plait.

Wait, really?

... I'd like that.

Yeah. My friend Susan and I used to hang out and do that. I kind of miss it.

Then let's do it!

Ok. Let's. It might not be the same without a fireplace and ice cream but we'll make it work.

Fire isn't the greatest idea in space anyway. But I'm sure we can find a way to make it cozy.

Yeah, I guess not.

I wish we could stay someplace like this.

I don't know. Being on the ships isn't ideal, but I've had about enough of snow...
