"Satine, Satine, please open up!" Obi-Wan was standing outside of Satine's room after the events with Tal Merrik.
"Obi-Wan, you know that I have duties to attend to, now please leave me alone." Replied the Duchess. She was embarrassed about what happened earlier, for she has confessed her undying love to a man she hadn't seen in years.
"Satine, I just want to talk." Satine sighed and marched to the door that separated her and Obi-Wan. She pulled it open.
"What do you need?" She asked.
"I told you already, Duchess," Obi-Wan explained, "I just want to talk to you." Satine already knew what he wanted to talk about. She, personally, did not want to mention it at all.
"Fine," Satine took a breath, "come sit, then." She gestured to a pair of couches that were in a resting area in her room. The two took a seat on opposite sofas. They were silent for a while, both too smart to have to ask what to talk about.
"So, Satine," Obi-Wan started, "can we talk about what happened earlier." He was tired of the silence and needed to hurry this up before Anakin questioned his disappearance.
"What about it?" Satine snapped. She was being difficult.
"What you said."
"What about it?" She repeated.
"Did you really mean it? After all this time?" Obi-Wan explained.
"Of course I meant it, I thought I was going to die!" Satine's face flushed a deep red. Once again, they let silence consume them.
"Okay, well, I guess I will let you get back to the business of diplomacy." Obi-Wan stood up and made his way to the door. He had gotten his answer. He couldn't really believe that she had felt the same way after so many years.
"That's it? You didn't want anything else?" Satine then stood up too. She was frustrated with him. It felt as if he just wanted to come and mock her.
"Well, I wanted you to know something too, but you seem busy." The Jedi placed his hand on the door handle.
"No wait! what did you need to tell me." Obi-Wan smirked and turned his head to the Duchess.
"I want you to know that I feel the same." Satine let out a bit of a gasp. She knew that he had once had feelings for her, but he still did. With that, Obi-Wan left the Duchess in her room alone to think about what had just happened.
