Hm?

[ He glances at his walls, not seeing the problem. ] Not really. Jedi don't really . . . decorate their lodgings.

[ Anakin did, but Anakin wasn't exactly an exemplary Jedi. ]

[princessia]

What? Why not?

[ That's no fun... ]

[beardstrokes]

It's one of our beliefs. We're not meant to have material possessions.

[ He already has far too many for his liking already. ]

[princessia]

But what about those?

[ She glances over in the direction of the books and the toy light saber. ]

Are you not planning to keep them?

[beardstrokes]

The books I borrowed from the library and will return soon enough.

[ He pauses at the saber. Kanan had bought that for him. And now, Kanan was gone. ]

I will keep the saber for now. . . . It was a gift.

[princessia]

For now? You should always keep it and take good care of it! Was it from a friend? Gifts are... a token of friendship!

[ It's what she learned from Driselle. ]

[beardstrokes]

[ A friend? He's not sure that word applies. Kanan was important to him. Kanan was a Jedi, Depa's padawan. And briefly, one of Obi-Wan's students.

Finally he settled on an answer he was confident in. ]

He was important to me. I hope he's doing well wherever he is.

[princessia]

[ It sure sounds like a friend to her. From his words, she can guess that the person was on the fleet and had left. (And one that used to be part of her crew, too.) Obviously it's hard for her whenever someone she knows winds up leaving. ]

I hope you'll see him again.

[beardstrokes]

[ He smiles faintly. Unless Kanan shows up to the Fleet again, he doubts it. Still, there is only the Force. ]

I hope so too, but I'm sure he's doing fine wherever he is.

[princessia]

[ She nods, with a smile. Even though she doesn't know for certain, she's been doing her best to keep her hopes up for herself and others. ]

So does this mean you can keep material possessions as long as they're a gift?

[ Because she's totally thinking of gifts for Obi-Wan now... ]

[beardstrokes]

[ He hesitates. He hates to reject a gift. That would be unseemly. ]

I suppose gifts are all right. So long as I'm not seeking to buy too much for my own sake.

[princessia]

[ She looks around at his walls again, as though to try to get some ideas. She already has one. ]

I'm still thinking of a gift for you. Until then, please look forward to it.

[beardstrokes]

[ He smiles. ]

All right. But nothing too expensive please.

[princessia]

[ She smiles in return, not saying much else about her potential gift. It won't be expensive at all.

She's ready to listen to the show tune now! ]

So how about that song?

[beardstrokes]

Ah, yes.

[ He pulls up his guitar and takes a seat. He does a few experimental strums before moving to starting his tune. It's hesitant at times, but gains confidence as he continues on. ]

[princessia]

[ Taking a seat nearby, she's quiet and patient, even during the beginning moments where his playing is more uncertain. As he continues playing, she claps her hands along with the rhythm until he's finished. ]

[beardstrokes]

[ He finishes it quietly. He notices that it was off in a few parts, but there's little he can do about it now. ]

I suppose that was an improvement from before.

[princessia]

It sounded good!

[ Even if it's off in some places. She's trying to be encouraging again. ]

You'll become an expert with more practice, I'm sure!

[beardstrokes]

[ He chuckles softly. ]

Well, perhaps then I'll put on a little show.

[princessia]

I'll come to your performances and cheer you on!

[beardstrokes]

I doubt I'll have multiple performances.

[princessia]

What if your fans beg for more?

[beardstrokes]

I would have to have fans for that to become a reality.
