[ 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. ]

Space is still a little scary for me. When I left the temple, we were attacked by pirates.

Pirates? There are pirates in space!?

Of course. Why wouldn't there be?

I... suppose I have no good answer for that. I don't know much about pirates at all.

Really? They're pretty common.

I've never met one. But I've never been around a body of water large enough for proper pirates, either.

I doubt you're missing much by not meeting pirates. Have you ever been to the ocean?

No, unfortunately not. I've always wanted to, but I lived far too inland to have reached it just yet.

[There's a bit of a longing lilt to his voice; what kind of water seraph has never seen the ocean before?]

Maybe you'll visit a water planet soon. Like Mon Cala. There's little to no land on those planets at all. Only water.

Truly... that would be amazing. At this point I'd be happy just to see even the smallest amount of natural water.

I'm sure it'll happen.

Sooner or later, it probably has to.

[He's not as optimistic as Sorey, but he can try a little.

Anyway, he stops here, pointing to a door.]

This one's yours.

Oh.

[ He does a stilted bow. ] Thank you.

It's no problem. If you have need of anything, don't hesitate to let us know.

Uhm . . . all right.

[ Seems highly unlikely but okay . . . ]
