            " it's good to see you again  , ben . "
            she smiles softly  , arms crossing over
            her chest .  "  really  good . "

( @tatooinelost )
            "  ghost isn't really the correct term but   ,   i suppose it will do  "   he smiles  .   "   i've become a part of the force as we all do   "

            she gave a gentle nod , arms
            looping around his shoulders .
            "  yeah  —  same thing as last time , too . "

( @gentlesenate )
            "  oh dear   "   the jedi  looks up from his datapad   ,  setting it aside  &  getting up to walk over to the young girl   ,  kneeling to her height  .   "   what's wrong  ?   a  bad  dream  ?   "  

( @quarterstaffs )
            "   you are never alone   ,   rey   "   he reassures  quietly  .    "   he  —   ben   ,  is watching over you  .   "   the apparition takes a seat on a nearby rock    "   as are luke  &  leia   .   they are proud of you  ,   but your journey is not over yet  .   now you must take what you have learned  &  pass it on  —   "  

@robedrop 
            this was met by a warm , shy smile from rey . ' thank you , master kenobi , ' she replied softly . she knew she wasn't her grandfather , still , it hurt her to remember all that had happened to her , because of palpatine . she'd lived in denial for so long , & facing the truth was hard . 

( @quarterstaffs )
            he smiles gently   .    "   it does not matter where you came from    ,   it's where you will go that is important now   .   all the jedi of the past live in you   .   "  

that crimson blade hung in a gloved hand belonging to the sith lord  ,  showing not much care for his own defense until the very last minute  .  then again  ,  it was easy to predict the movements of one you had trained with for so long  . .   "  then you will die more braver than most of my opponents  .  "   those red and blue hues mixed in this moment  ,  the scarlet having raised to defend against the blow only seconds before  .  with their blades connected was when the monotone helm suddenly grew closer to the aged face before him  ,  red lenses staring right into the blue hues  .   "  you are not trying  .  "

( @bbqdick )
            the sizzle of the blades connecting is the only sound that fills the room for a long moment before the old jedi backs away  &  circles around   ,   preparing for another defensive deflection  .   still knowing the other's fighting technique just as well as his own   .  brief flashes of days spent training in the temple cross his mind but he blinks them away   .      "   i don't fear death   .   there are much worse things    "    his saber swings around in his hand  then   ,   an attempted blow to the chest plate on the other's massive form but it's slow   .  deliberately  . 

"   your old way with words seem to be failing you  .   "   that scarlet blade was quick to raise in the air after his words  ,  red lenses with no humanity in sight staring down upon the elder  .   "   yet here obi - wan is before me  ,  about to die alone  .   "   with that the blade came down upon the other with quite the amount of aggression  ,  but still easily blockable and perhaps  ,  that was on purpose  .

            she could see the hurt   ,     but she couldn’t feel his pain .     as much as it pained her — the bond she had with her grandmaster was just . . barely there anymore .     that’s what happens after leaving .    she watched him intently .   waiting for an answer ,  she was too eager to get one .      but once she got her answer she stood there , pure shock .     and not the good kind   .    “   no .   ” was all she said .    anakin would never ,  he could never !    “    listen to what you’re saying  !   killed younglings ,  we’re talking about anakin   ,    he’s not a monster  !   he’s not !   ” she yelled .     she yelled as loud as she could .  she believed the whole chancellor thing but the fact that obi — wan couldn’t finish told her something . .     “   no .    i don’t believe you .    i can’t —  t - this is / your / fault .  ”  she said .   “  / you / caused this .    / you / should have helped him .   but / you / didn’t .   ”

            his steps falter  &  his arms slowly fall back to his sides   .   a grimace crosses his expression at the mention of the other jedi   ,   as if he's been struck with a piercing blow directly through the heart    .    his eyes fall away from hers   ,   hands clenching so tightly at his sides that the knuckles turn white   .    "   ahsoka he   —   "    obi wan's voice quivers  &  his resolve breaks   ,   eyes shutting tightly to keep tears from overflowing    .      "    anakin  .  .  .    caused this  —    he killed   .   .   .    younglings   .    "   his throat raw  & eyes burning with the need to let his emotions free    ,   but he fights against it   .     "    chancellor palpatine was the sith lord we've been looking for   .   he started this war   .   he  —   "    a hand reaches up wearily to cover his face    ,    silent sobs finally escaping him   ,   his shoulders rocking with the effort   .

            normally she would have loved to hug her grandmaster   ,    really she would have   ,   but she couldn’t — not yet .    not knowing that he would let her master suffer this much   .      “    what the kriff happened — ?     where’s anakin  ?    ”    she said   ,    that’s all she was worried about right now .   that’s all she needed to worry about   ,    once this was all cleared up she could then relax  . 

( @faIIenjedi )
            "  yes  ,   you should have   "   he says wryly  ,   standing from his seat   &  walking around the desk that divides them   .    "   but   ,   you're alright  &  that's all that matters   .    a speeder can be replaced   .   you can not    "  

giving  a  short  nod    ,    he  reaches  up  and  rubs  at  the  back  of  his  neck    ,    guilt  evident  on  his  face    .    “    yeah    ,    i’m  fine    .    though    ,    the  speeder  isn’t    ..    i  should’ve  listened  to  you    .    i’m  sorry    ,    master    .    ”

( @faIIenjedi )
            he sits quietly for a moment before a small sigh escapes him   .    "   anakin  . . . .   are you at least alright   ?   "   his tone remains fairly calm with only a slight undertone of annoyance   .

            . . .   do not take that money to go buy a fish from the fish store so you can eat it  .

            how much do they sell fish for at the pet store —
