[jedies]

I know.

[ he's never had any doubts there. he makes it quick, leaving a faint burn before putting the saber away and concentrating on her wound. it's hard. he's always called the force in traditional ways, to push, to pull, to suggest . . .

despite all his leanings towards pacifism, obi-wan can't say he's a complete believer. and the force knows, digging its heels at him. ]

[lightthedarkness]

[She does not wince when the wound comes, having suffered much worse and having a ridiculously high pain tolerance, plus, Obi-Wan did as promised, making it quick.

She watched as nothing happened before she reached out with her other hand, resting it on top of Obi-Wan's wrist.]

Don't pull. [She offered.]

Ask. [That's what she always did with her own powers, asking them time and again to support her, to give her what she needed to protect those she loved. She could only hope it would work the same with the Force and Obi-Wan.]

[jedies]

[ ask. it's odd how that has never crossed his mind. the force has always been with him, one and the same. but they're not. he commands it, but perhaps commanding is not the way to go.

so he asks, a gentle nudge to the life force around them. and the force answers. ]

[lightthedarkness]

There. [She smiled, watching and feeling the wound seal up until nothing remained, not even a scab or scar. She turned her wrist, this way and that, holding it out for him to inspect.]

It's a very promising start!

[jedies]

[ for some reason, he felt exhausted just from this little thing. he wipes his forehead before shooting her a smile. ]

Thank you.

[lightthedarkness]

[She inclined her head before de-transforming back into Usagi.]

I'm happy I could help. We can keep trying until you're an absolutely amazing healer.

[jedies]

[ a low chuckle. ]

I think I'll settle for perfectly adequate first.

[lightthedarkness]

Then we'll have train some more. Which honestly I'm happy about cause it means more time with Obi-Wan!

[jedies]

If you wanted to spend time, all you had to do was ask.

[lightthedarkness]

[The side of her mouth moved up, trying to decide to smile or frown so she just settled on neutral. But she was going to share why she was excited.]

Yes, but this way when I call you for this, the first words out of your mouth won't be "did something happen?" It might actually sound happy to hear from me instead.

[jedies]

[ ah. his expression turns contrite. ]

I suppose I've gotten too used to receiving bad news of late. But that is on me. I should know better.

[lightthedarkness]

Then, maybe this is something to look forward to for yourself? Do you have that?

[jedies]

Of course I look forward to being a healer.

[lightthedarkness]

No, I mean- [She sighs.] Outside of being a healer, which I AM glad you look forward to, but more just... something that- [She doesn't know how to explain that Obi-Wan just seems perpetually SAD. So, you know what, she'll take the... excited about the healer thing. It's something. She smiles.]

Well, whenever ready for your next lesson, let me know.

[jedies]

[ he runs a hand through his beard, ruminating on that. it's true he hasn't cultivated many hobbies here. he's always let his work as a jedi come first.

but even the other jedi wouldn't consider that particularly healthy. ]

I will.

And I'll do my best to diversify myself as well. For my own sake.

[lightthedarkness]

Is it too much to ask for a hug goodbye?

[jedies]

Not at all.

[ and he opens his arms for one. ]

Wrap?

[lightthedarkness]

[And he's gonna get a massive (though not full force) hug from the tiny blonde.]

Let's head back!

sounds good!

[jedies]

[ hugs are good and he squeezes her shoulders lately. ]

All right.
