What is happening with #murderhusband?
Settling
down on the grass, Qui-Gon opened his mouth only to snap it shut when
there was a little snarl from the person laying on the grass. “Don’t
touch me.” Obi-Wan hissed venomously,
the wind of Serenno fluttering his hair gently as
he remained buried in his arms, still laying on his stomach in the
grass.
Peering
down at his love in concern, Qui-Gon frowned slightly. “I was not
about to Obi-Wan.” He murmured quietly and
cautiously,
watching as the tense muscles of the others back slowly relaxed as
they sat in utter silence for a long few moments.
Finally
Obi-Wan let out a breath and lifted his head from his arms to look up
at the other man, squinting a bit.
Oh
dear, that explained the others bad mood.
Wincing,
Qui-Gon reached out slowly and settled his hand against Obi-Wan’s
forehead when
the other didn’t withdraw from him,
confirming his thoughts on a fever as he took in the purple spots
covering the others sweaty and flushed face as the former Jedi
allowed the touch.
Obi-Wan
had Ryloth pox.
‘Must
have picked it up from the refugees that passed through here last
week, the incubation period is about right.’ Qui-Gon noted mentally
as he shifted closer and carefully prompted Obi-Wan to roll onto his
back instead of laying on the grass under the shade of the fruit
trees. With a little grunt Obi-Wan did as told and then let out a
soft noise of gratefulness as the Sith offered up his lap as a
pillow, settling his hand over the others eyes to provide more shade
for currently light sensitive eyes.
It
was always worse to get Ryloth pox as an adult, just like chickenpox.
“…Anakin
told me you didn’t seem to be in the best of shape but I had no
idea you had Ryloth pox love,” Qui-Gon noted quietly. “You
should have come to me when the spots broke out, I
already went through them and have an immunity.”
He tacked on as the scent of the fruit orchard reached them.
Obi-Wan
licked his lips then sighed deeply. “It was just so noisy inside
with the babies and I was so warm…” He whispered.
Qui-Gon
stroked the others hair with the hand not currently covering up the
green eyes as he watched his love.
He
could imagine it got too much for Obi-Wan.
Ever
since the fall of Sidious, things were slowing down, becoming quieter
around
the galaxy if not in their home.
Dooku
wasn’t really interested in keeping the war running now that his
master was out of the picture, not when Qui-Gon was looming over his
shoulder and thanks to Palpatine no longer being able to push the war
forward on both sides and keep the animosities going, tentative
negotiations were ongoing to separate those worlds that wanted to
leave the Republic and yet keep trade systems going.
It
was a messy affair and it made Qui-Gon happier than ever that he
didn’t have to deal with the damn politics.
The
result of it however meant that quite a few refugees were escaping
worlds on the CIS governed world, fearing slavery and instead moving
to Republican worlds and because of Qui-Gon, some of them passed
through Serenno as Qui-Gon did not
approve of slavery.
The
very public showdown he had with the Queen of
Zygerria,
Miraj Scintel, had made that apparent and very few wanted to actually
upset Qui-Gon as he would bring his saber and his words with him.
Obi-Wan’s
now open presence on Serenno along with Senator Amidala and former
Jedi Skywalker was also helping making people more certain that
Serenno was a safe temporary shelter before continuing further into
the core worlds.
Yan
reluctantly accepted that.
Not
like he could stop it, if Serenno wanted to leave the Republic, they
would have to find their own economy some way and tourists and trips
could fill in some gaps.
Stroking
the others hair, Qui-Gon peered at the house and chuckled when he
heard a loud cry that was echoed by another.
It
seemed the twins were awake once more but beneath Qui-Gon’s hand,
Obi-Wan slept.
The
war was uncertain but…
They
were getting towards peace, maybe sometime soon… things could
settle into a quiet sort of peace.
Qui-Gon
could hope at least.
But
he knew that at the very least, he had his Obi-Wan with him.
