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. ]

[He doesn't say anything. Instead he heads further into the temple with his eyes glued upon the carved faces of the statues peering down at them. He pays no attention to them, though. All he can think about is what he felt when Order 66 was being carried out. Never in his life, even now, had he felt that kind of specific and wretched pain within the Force. It echoed in him now a kind of hollow imitation, but no less painful as it was all those years ago.

Good news indeed.]

I've tried every way I can. I haven't done very well at detaching myself.

[He can't let go of his anger and his grief anymore than he can let go of his friends or his home on the Ghost. He's no model Jedi and he knows that. There's a reason he was trying to keep a low profile.]

I appreciate what you're trying to do, Master Kenobi. But I've had fifteen years to deal with what's happened. It doesn't go away, but I know where to keep it.

[It's by no means easy for Kanan, but he has found support and love from people that when it came right down to it, they held a far stronger bond with him than what he had in the Jedi temple. He still grieved for lost friends and fallen mentors, but he still had something to go back to.

Obi-Wan though... this man he did pity.]


But it can't be easy for you. I wish I could tell you things get better, but I haven't seen it yet. I don't know if I ever will.

I hope we figure out what that direction is. [... and soon. He doesn't like his chances after encountering a real Sith lord.] I don't want the next generation of Jedi to live like I did.

[He still recalls well those two force sensitive infants they had managed to save from the grips of those two inquisitors. He has no idea what kind of future awaits them.]

[Hm. He does too, when he gets down to it. It feels like a naive belief, but he fought too hard to give up on those kids now.]

I... actually took an apprentice. A kid named Ezra. I've been trying to show him what being a Jedi means. [A slight shrug.] Well. At least as much as I can manage.

[Ezra would never pass muster for the Order. And besides, he would've been considered too old besides.]

Fifteen now. Not even old enough to remember what things were like before.

[Born on Empire Day. Cheated of his chance of being found by the Jedi Order and given a place in the temple.]

Maybe. [Or maybe he'd have been safer if he'd been left back on Lothal without ever knowing about his potential. It's a hard thing to tell. With all these statues around him, it's pretty easy to feel small.]

I'd prefer the others not hear about all this.

[He nods.]

... the temple is real nice. But I think I've got the gist of it. [He won't do a Jedi bow. That time is long past. But he does give a subtle tilt of his head in respect.] Seeya around, Master Kenobi.
