anakin: are you awake?
obi-wan: I am now.
anakin: i can’t sleep
obi-wan: Nightmares or something else?
a: something else
a: and nightmares
a: but mostly something else
o: I can’t help you if you continue to be cryptic, Anakin. What is it?
a: it’s
a: I
a: i miss you
a: i shouldn’t have said anything
a: never mind
o: don’t be ridiculous Anakin. It’s Perfectly normal. We’ve spent months together, it’s expected, even.
o: I’ve missed you as well.
a: you did?
a: i mean i’m glad you aren’t lecturing me
o: Did would imply I’ve stopped. I should say I DO miss you.
o: Am I that bad with my “lecturing” then?
a: you’re pretty bad
a: but at least you’re not like master mundi
a: i think he just likes the sound of his own voice
o: It can be rather soothing.
o: ….No it can’t.
a: i was going to say
a: i’ve seen you trying not to nod off during one of his mission reports
a: does he have to second guess everything??
o: Thoroughness is not the culprit. But you have a point.
o: I thought I was being more discreet.
o: Pity.
a: you always cross your robe over your chest beforehand
o: If I look smaller, perhaps he won’t include me in his. Monologue.
o: Should I lecture you on noticing that? Those debriefs are for all of us. At least one of us should pay attention.
a: i’m the last person master mundi would expect to pay attention
a: you’re small enough as it is master
a: get any smaller and you’ll disappear
o: I thought this was about you having a hard time sleeping. Not my height.
o: Or lack thereof.
a: i just wanted to talk to you
a: I don’t like the council separating us on missions
a: who’s supposed to watch your back
o: I thought you would appreciate the independence. The council knows you’re capable…and perhaps they think we’ve become too codependent.
a: you think a lot of things
a: also that’s bantha shit! just because we work best together mean we’re codependent
o: I think about what’s best for you, certainly.
a: you think separating us is what’s best for me???
a: now you sound as bad as the council!
o: I think you need. Time to grow on your own, as much as you need time with me.
a: so you do want to separate us
a: so what now that i’m not your burden anymore you don’t want to deal with me??
a: am i not good enough for you? oh general kenobi, esteemed symbol of the jedi order
a: of course you’d want to separate us. can’t have something like kriffing “codependency” mar your perfect jedi title
o: Anakin you know very well that’s not what I meant.
o: I can see now that the best option is to be simple: you are not a burden to me, despite your insecurities.
a: yeah right
a: you never wanted to be my master
o: I never wanted to be anyone’s master, Anakin. Not until the time was right. That option was taken away from me, but I did not regret you. Only the circumstances.
a: then why don’t you want to fight with me?
a: were you the one who asked for separate missions?
o: No, I wasn’t. That was a decision made by the higher council and I had no choice but to accept. We have the best outreach if every Jedi has a post to hold.
o: But I am not blind enough that I don’t see what they were implying.
o: I might be on the council, but I don’t agree with every decision Anakin.
a: but you said you wanted us to be separated
o: I said I wanted you to grow on your own. Forced separation is not the way I wanted it to happen.
a: i can’t lose you, obi-wan
o: Everyone can lose someone, Anakin. But you won’t. And that’s. A sentiment. Not a promise. Don’t make me promise those things.
o: There is a risk we take every day.
a: i know
a: i just
a: it doesn’t matter. thank you for talking to me. i’ll try to get some sleep now.
o: It always matters Anakin. I allow you your secrets, but don’t keep everything from me.
a: good night, obi-wan.
o: Sleep well, Anakin.
