Here’s a prompt for thelightinus: people try to get more information about what went wrong in the future, and Obi-wan has to decide what to tell people (or maybe codywan?)
Wings
fluttering gently, Obi-Wan chuckled quietly as he glanced down at the
new tunics in his hands, the other two carrying a few of them for him
too along with robes, undershirts and sleeping shirts. “I do think
that it was a bit overkill for quartermaster Gyda
to
want to measure my wings.” He said lightly in an aside to Ahsoka
and Anakin only for the young togruta to snort loudly.
“Master
Obi-Wan,” She replied, her tone bored. “Your wings aren’t like
any other Jedi in the temple, they glow, they flutter, they got
primary in golden and white that stretch through your wings to the
secondaries flight feathers. Your wings are sleek and powerful and
yet they are massive with hardly any weight as they stretch out from
your back. Technically you shouldn’t be as small as you are and
have wings this big. Of
course she had to measure you to ensure the clothes would fit,
especially with wing slits”
Ahsoka finished with and then blushed when both older Jedi raised
surprised brows at her at
the very through and logical explanation of the quartermaster’s
action.
Chuckling
faintly, Obi-Wan raised his brows. “Well, someones put in some
study on wings.” He teased gently, gently
bringing the other out of her embarrassment.
Shrugging
awkwardly, Ahsoka smiled sheepishly. “As a kid in the creche I kind
of… wanted wings, so I looked up the biological quirks of it to see
how wings functioned. Then it just got interesting.” She glanced at
his wings curiously.
“If
you wish,” Obi-Wan’s smile softened. “You can both examine them
when we get to the quarters once I’ve changed into one of my
tunics.” He offered gently, receiving twin smiles from both Anakin
and Ahsoka.
Honestly
it was the first thing he had done after the council meeting.
Obi-Wan
would rather dress properly.
Well…
outside of his boots.
He
hadn’t worn boots since he became the Daughters proxy and right now
he just… couldn’t.
Not
when each step grounded him to where he was and what he was doing,
whispering to him that the Force was bright and warm once more.
He
was still debating how much information he was really going to tell
the council.
Changing
the streams of time could be very dangerous but he did have to do
something, which he had told the council he would inform them of certain things.
But
it was the telling of others which was dangerous too.
First
things first…
Green
eyes glanced at Jedi who passed them. ‘Traitors will have to be
weeded out.’ Obi-Wan wings fluttered heavily, the glowing
appendages catching the attention of all.
But
they were not the comfort of all, nor were they suppose to.
Obi-Wan’s
wings were something he refused to hide, the golden light of them the
very Light side of the Force both inside and outside of him and he’d
be damned if he let those who were betraying the Jedi feel comfort
when they were turning on all those lives.
Obi-Wan
had too many vivid images from the pond of a broken temple, of small
bodies scorched by blaster bolts.
Too
young and yet old enough to die for Sidious.
‘I
will have to deal with him too eventually. He must have seen me fly,
honestly if Ahsoka is right that it was all over the holofeed then he
must have been blind not to see and feel
me rise over the temple.’ Obi-Wan mused to himself even as he shot
a clearly worried Anakin a soft smile which assured him.
“It
will be good to finally change out of the Hall gown and shorts.”
Obi-Wan offered them with a chuckle.
“Will
you be able to shower with those?” Anakin glanced at the wings,
frowning a bit.
“Oh…
hmm.” Obi-Wan glanced back at his wings too, a small frown growing
on his face as he thought that over.
“Yeah
no, he’s not going to fit in the fresher.” Ahsoka giggled,
heading over to the caff table where she placed the tunics, grinning
at them with all her teeth. “We’re going to have to put in a
special request to move quarters for that…can I please
get a room with both of you this time though? I’m tired of the
padawan dorm for seniors.” She groaned dramatically while dropping
on the couch.
Exchanging
amused smirks, the two Jedi master’s joined her with their own
piles of clothes. “I’ll send of a request to the quartermasters
for new rooms. For today I will just have to forgo that shower I
guess… it is a good thing I got a shower at the Halls.” Obi-Wan
mused as he picked out a high collared undershirt and a beige tunic
to go over before heading towards his room to find leggings.
“I’ll
make tea while we wait on you.” Anakin snorted, a bit of normalcy
finally entering their lives after the wing situation.
How
long it would last… well that was another situation.
‘And
I can see Cody once more… dear Cody.’ Obi-Wan smiled into the
darkness of his bedroom before turning the light on.
He’d
missed Cody.
