[beardstrokes]

How so?

[pneumo]

He doesn't want me to draw attention to myself.

[beardstrokes]

[ Hm. Obi-Wan isn't too sure about that approach, but granted, he doesn't know or carry the stigma of being a vampire.

Still. ]

What do you want to do, though?

[pneumo]

...

Sleep next to you. [ That's an appropriate way to answer this question, right? ]

[beardstrokes]

. . . I meant about the situation at hand.

[pneumo]

...Oh, the being a secret thing. [ Baw. ] I think...it's a good idea. Telling a lot of people about me only made them angry in the past.

[beardstrokes]

Very well.

[ It makes sense, pragmatically. ]

You may sleep here tonight, but I don't know if we should make a habit out of it.

[pneumo]

How come...? You're really comfortable. [ And nice to him, and apparently have endless patience. It's actually pretty impressive. ]

[beardstrokes]

[ He hesitates. While he doesn't suffer from nightmares like Anakin does, his sleep has always been a little rough around the edges. Years of war, living out in the open and so forth has made him a light sleeper.

And there are names he would keep secret, names he might call out in the dark. ]

I may not be the best person. For one, I don't sleep very well. I'm rather restless.

[pneumo]

I don't mind stuff like that! I'm used to being kicked and hit and stuff. [ In Bed? In his daily life? Who knows. ]

[beardstrokes]

Sascha, that's not something you should get accustomed to. And it's not fair to you, whether you're used to it or not.

[pneumo]

But it's still better than having to sleep alone... [ Sascha's actually willing to do and put up with a lot of things if it means not being alone. ]

[beardstrokes]

Still, I don't think I am the best . . . fit for this.

[ Physical contact at a vulnerable state . . . seems inadvisable. He may not have Sasuke's instincts, but he has deadly ones all the same. ]

[pneumo]

Just once! If its no good I won't ask ever again, I promise! [ Please dad pleeeeeease he'll drool on you and your pillow Obi, beware ]

[beardstrokes]

. . . All right.

[ It goes against his better judgement. ]

We'll try it out.

[pneumo]

[ If it's any consolation Sascha at least looks positively thrilled, making a pleased noise as he flops onto his back and then curls in the Jedi's direction. ]

Okay♥ I'll be on my best behaviour!

[beardstrokes]

I'm sure you will be.

[ He does mean that. ]

[pneumo]

[ Someone who believes in him...Sascha's touched. And heavily endeared by those words, smiling brightly and grinning. He doesn't have large fangs to speak of; they're the same size as human eyeteeth. But they are sharper, and so are the one following. ]

Hehe~ What time do you wanna turn in then??

[beardstrokes]

You go ahead. I'm going to meditate first.

[ He'll need it if he's sharing a bed. ]

[pneumo]

Okay~~ [ He doesn't make move to tuck himself in anywhere other than kicking off his shoes and rolling over into his stomach, watching the woefully patient Jedi with unveiled interest. ]

I tried that once and fell asleep.

[beardstrokes]

You do tend to fall asleep easily.

[pneumo]

I'm no good in the sunlight...hehe. It always puts me right to sleep. [ Instead of, you know. Immolating him. Which is nice. ]

[beardstrokes]

I'm not surprised.

But why do you want to sleep now, when it's your time to be awake?

[pneumo]

Well...this is when you'll be asleep. There'd be no point if you were gonna stay awake. [ He's willing to lie in bed and sleep when he doesn't have to if it means being next to someone. ]

[beardstrokes]

[ Loneliness. A familiar emotion, yet one Obi-Wan wasn't fully accustomed to. In a way, he's never been really alone. He's always had someone nearby. Qui-Gon, Anakin . . . Satine, Cerasi, Bail . . . No matter what path he has taken, someone was there. It did not matter if they were there for him.

Here, he was surrounded by people. Anakin, Ahsoka, the Sunriders . . . Kanan, Leia, Luke.

And he still feels alone. ]

I won't be long.
