How does Jango react to Obi being attacked in warriorculture? If Maul is specifically targeting Obi would he offer asylum on Mandalore, and would the council go for it? How does the council react to what happened?
Not
bothering to open his eyes when the door slid open, Obi-Wan just
smiled instead as he remained sitting against the mound of pillows
stacked against the headboard. Bruises and healing scrapes ached
uncomfortably but that was easy to ignore at the heat closed up
around him and the scent of Mandalorian tea entering his nose.
“I
do hope,” He murmured. “That you remembered to add honey to
mine?” Obi-Wan requested as the bed dipped lightly.
There
was a warm little chuckle, a tray stationed into Obi-Wan’s lap that
he shifted a hand to hold steady as the other person shifted around
until they were sitting beside the Jedi, the covers shifted around
until they covered two people. “I did, I even added a small splash
of milk since I know that Mandalorian spice tea is a bit too rough
even for you.” Jango murmured fondly, his hand coming up to stroke
Obi-Wan’s hair out of his face.
Finally
Obi-Wan opened his eyes to give the other man a small smile. “I
still can’t believe you managed to convince the council to send me
to Mandalore this quickly.” He huffed lightly while picking up the
nice clay mug full of tea that had milk in it, noting that Jango’s
own tea had nothing in it that he could tell.
“Considering
you’re clearly being targeted, the council felt it would be in your
best interest to be safely away from Coruscant,” Jango drawled,
sipping his own cup while watching Obi-Wan before shrugging. “There
are eight other ships leaving today, all with trails indicating that
you could potentially be onboard for the zabrak who attacked you to
follow.” He smirked a bit, rubbing the shell of Obi-Wan’s ear.
“Still,
Mandalore…” He huffed a bit in amusement, snuggling into Jango’s
side as the man continued stroking his ear and jawline slowly with
his fingertips. “Its in the Outer Rims and Jedi and Mandalore do
not have a good history despite our recently good communications.”
Obi-Wan smirked into his cup.
“Mmm
true enough but it seems they value your safety young Kenobi, enough
to set that aside and for some reason they seem to think I would keep
you safe as can be.” Jango smirked, winking at his lover when he
looked up.
Letting
out an amused snort, Obi-Wan sipped his tea before finally thinking
of something else, focusing on Jango with a displeased grimace.
“You’re not going to Sundari again are you? And that horrible
mural depicting Mando’a warriors absolutely slaughtering Jedi with
no mercy? Holding their heads as trophies?” He narrowed his eyes at
him.
“Errg…
oh look, sweet cakes!” Jango lifted the little plate of cream
filled pastries Bo had picked up before they left. Only Obi-Wan gave
him a severely displeased glare which
had Jango wincing and setting the plate down on the tray. “Right
okay… you really despise that mural huh?” He questioned
awkwardly.
“Its
gross,” Obi-Wan said blankly before picking up one of the bite
sized little pastries with cream inside. “Even if I wasn’t a Jedi
I would have found it rather brutal way of depicting ones victory,
holding a severed head up to gloat.” He sniffed.
Rolling
his eyes a bit, Jango slid his arm around the others shoulders and
continued sipping his own tea that Obi-Wan suspected had alcohol in
it now that the cup was so close for him to smell. Spicy tea and
Mando’a whiskey maybe. “And how do you suggest one celebrates
ones victory for prosperity?
A river
of blood?” He rolled his eyes.
“Oh
I don’t know,” Obi-Wan huffed, his tone sardonic enough for Jango
to wince a bit. “How about a statue or mural of the warriors in
question standing tall and proud, the victors of a glorious battle
instead of a grisly sight of someone holding a severed
head?” He gave his older lover a dull look.
“…Okay
point, its a bit-”
“A
bit?” Obi-Wan’s brows rose.
Holding
up his hand in surrender. “Okay its very gruesome but to be fair,
its a long time ago and removing a piece of our history would have
several clans revolting against me,
the Mandalore crusades are an important historical event.”
He explained to the other. “Its part of our culture after all and
Mandalore has always been a planet of warriors with the traditions
and culture befitting it even if some like Sabine Kryze is trying
with this pacifism ideals.” He murmured to explain to his lover.
Obi-Wan
huffed but nodded. “That’s why I’m asking if
you’re planning to take me there and if you are, to request that
you don’t.”
Tapping
his fingertips on the others arm, Jango finally nodded. “Fair
enough, we won’t go looking up any of the old art. We can stay in
the newer section of the Royal palace and you know my rooms have none
of the gore there.” He teased gently, pressing a kiss to Obi-Wan’s
cheek when the other let out a pleased noise.
