[ Video ]

[ The feed shakes for a few minutes before it centers on a young thirteen year old boy. He has the trademark padawan braid and robes as he sits on his knees in front of the camera. His expression is quiet and muted, though it seems like he hasn't had much sleep. His eyes are red-rimmed and tired. ]

Hello. If you could tell me if this ship is heading to Coruscant, I would be grateful. If not, I'd be happy to earn my way there through any duties you deem necessary.

[ He hesitates, pausing for far too long, biting on his lip. ] And if you -- you have seen Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn.

Thank you.

[ Action ]

[ Obi-Wan weaves himself through the ship, his shoulders hunched and his saber in a tight white-knuckled grip. Surely Qui-Gon wouldn't have left him here . . . not after coming back. Not after their discussion.

Then again, what rights did Obi-Wan even possess?

He tugs the hood over his face and keeps a wary eye on everyone who came close. This was a strange vessel and their responses got even more confusing. Best to keep to himself until he got to Coruscant. ]

I spoke to a General Hux who...is perhaps...from your universe? (Galaxy?)

In comparison to...what?

I don't know a General Hux, I'm afraid.

[ Ah, that would make it a silly question. He flushes hotly. ] Sorry. Dumb question.

You might wish to contact him. (For awkward time shenanigans if nothing else. Not that Maedhros knows of such.)

Forgive me. I have worshipped the stars - as is common for my kind - but I have not traversed them.

[ Obi-Wan hesitates visibly. Hux reminds him too strongly of the army officers at Melida/Daan. Concerned only for their own truth. ]

Really? I mean, I spent most of my time on Coruscant but I've been to many planets. They're all different. Some are water worlds, others are as dry as a desert.

(His instincts are razor sharp in that regard.)

All of them must be beautiful in their own way. Arda has long stretches of water, mountains, forests, places of fire and ruin...

Places of fire and ruin sounds less beautiful though . . .

One's opinion and taste surely differs in that regard. I, personally, do not wish to see such a land again.

[ Obi-Wan watches him carefully. ]

Sorry. I didn't mean to -- offend.

You didn't. (Just bad memories.) I wish I could help you more.

[ He shakes his head. ]

I'll be fine. When I get back, it'll -- things will be better.

[ He has to believe that, has to believe the haze of grief will slowly seep away. ]

I cannot say you will return soon. (He senses...grief.) Make yourself comfortable. Eat.

I'm not hungry.

[ He winces at how childish that sounded. Just a few days ago, food was scarce. ]

That might not be a luxury you have while you adjust.

(To eat only to survive is something he knows intimately.)

There isn't a food problem here, is there?

Mm not that I know of? I was speaking of you feeling hunger.

I'll eat later. I'm okay. I can handle a lot.

[ When his nerves settle. ]

You shouldn't handle "a lot" if it isn't necessary.

[ He raises his head. ]

Isn't that necessary now more than ever? It's not like -- [ I have anyone anymore. ]

Do not think yourself alone. There are friendly souls who can guide you until you find your place.

(Maedhros may or may not be one of them.)

My place . . . where would that be?

Everyone is given different duties. I am part of Security, for example, and you will be assigned to a ship.

[ He nods. ]

That sounds simple enough. I'm a decent pilot.
