“Its going to be alright little one.” Obi-Wan murmured, trying to
ignore his own shivers as he wrapped his cloak around Ahsoka’s
trembling shoulders. “Anakin will come looking for us soon enough.”
“Lets hope we don’t turn into icicles first.” She teased then
shivered at a gust of wind coming in through the cave opening. At
least their clothes were mostly dry from the dip in the cold river
but that didn’t help them warm up since they couldn’t light a fire in
fear of alerting the droids.
Obi-Wan sighed then wrapped his arms around the young togruta,
pulling her into his lap and against his chest while rubbing her arms
with his hands. “Knowing Anakin we’ll be frozen to the bone first.”
He bantered back to keep her mind of the situation.
“Typical Skyguy.” She snuggled against the others warm chest.
For the first time since their dip in the freezing and raging river,
Ahsoka actually felt safe as Master Obi-Wan held her tightly and
tried to coax some warmth into her.
“How are your lekku’s and monterals? Cold? I don’t have a hat I’m
sorry to say.” Obi-Wan sighed and moved one hand to the growing
monterals, frowning at the cold skin. “Ahsoka, you’re freezing.”
“I know, its-its alright.” She sighed.
“Not its not. You don’t have to carry a burden you don’t need.”
Obi-Wan offered sternly then pulled the hood of the robe up and over
her monterals before tucking her under his chin. “Try to sleep a
bit. I’ll keep guard while you rest.” He murmured quietly,
soothingly rubbing her back as he did.
Ahsoka blinked then tucked a bit closer, hiding her face in the
master’s chest.
“…Okay…but don’t tell Skyguy.”
Obi-Wan chuckled quietly and held her tighter. ‘She’s as prideful as
you are Anakin, our padawan.’
