[VIDEO]; UN: [USERNAME NOT SET]

[demonicbeauty]

[Ariadne knows better. She knows she should be ignoring Jedi nonsense. It only frustrates her.

But. There's something very strange going on.

And Obi-Wan is still her friend, even if Anakin is an idiot. So she pops on the network after a moment of staring at the post.]

Um...Obi-Wan? Are you all right?

( video | un: kenobi )

[jedies]

[ the feed turns on with obi-wan looking . . . well, not put out, but something shy of it. ]

Quite fine. It seems Boga had some ideas of her own.

[ his varactyl screeches in the background. ]

[demonicbeauty]

[She covers her mouth with both hands for a moment, trying very, very hard not to smile.

But her eyes are gleaming.]

I assume that's Boga?

[jedies]

[ boga lets out a bird-like croon as obi-wan sighs, patting her head. ]

My girl, Boga.

[demonicbeauty]

Well, you know how Omens are.

They're looking out for our best interests.

[And his seems to think he needs...companionship.]

[jedies]

Or what they think it should be. I can speak for myself just fine.

[demonicbeauty]

Oh, of course.

[Sorry, Obi. She's going to give you shit. But at least she's in a better place than when they last spoke.]

Without a doubt.

[jedies]

[ he doesn't respond to that because it'd be childish. ]

At any rate, no harm done.

[demonicbeauty]

Well, I certainly couldn't see the harm in it.

[As long as Anakin doesn't see. He's a huge prude when it comes to sex.

She waggles her finger at Boga.]

Naughty girl. You'll have to meet my friend Windy sometime.

[jedies]

[ boga's tail swishes around as obi-wan shakes his head at her, unbearably fond. ]

Sometime later, perhaps.

[demonicbeauty]

I don't mean to be rude but...

What sort of creature is she? I've never seen anything like her before.

[jedies]

She's a varactyl. She was a big help to me on my Utapau mission.

[demonicbeauty]

A...varactyl.

[Sounds lizard-like. Alastrians were once lizards themselves, according to the stories.

Ariadne decides to like Boga even more.]

What's a "Utapau?"

[jedies]

It's a planet. Mostly desert and farmland. To travel, the people often used animals rather than speeder bikes and technology.

[demonicbeauty]

Oh! Like horses! I see!

[A pause.]

Horses are a domesticated animal that the Elves use to travel long distances when they can't teleport. They're also considered status symbols.

[jedies]

[ he nods. ]

I'm familiar. We do have horses on other planets.

[demonicbeauty]

Horses and Humans. The two races that seem to be in every possible universe.

[She shakes her head. Two races that occasional hate her. Just her luck.]

I'm sure there's meaning in that.

[jedies]

I can't say there is, at least in my own. The galaxy is vast. All sorts of permutations exist. We rarely use "human" at all.

[demonicbeauty]

[Well, she won't argue with anyone about what they want to be called.

Instead, Ariadne draws a deep breath, slowly letting it out between her teeth.]

Listen, Obi-Wan. I...I think I owe you apology.

[jedies]

[ ah. he falls quiet for a moment, collecting his own thoughts. ]

You used my memories against me to accuse me of callousness. You took a fight you witnessed where I lost a dear friend and was fighting for my life against people who murdered children to say I was thoughtless.

Do you believe I am owed an apology? It should be something you want to give. Not simply because I am owed one.

[demonicbeauty]

I was hurt and angry and in mourning. And I lashed out in the wrong way, at the wrong person.

[She shakes her head.]

That's not who I am. It's not who I want to be. You didn't deserve to be treated like that.

Yes, I want to apologize.

[And, although she doesn't say it...she wants to learn from Anakin's mistakes. Anakin has no remorse. She's not going to be like that. That's not a road she wants to take.]

[jedies]

[ obi-wan exhales quietly. he understood all those motivations, which is why he hadn't spoken against it. he understood the depth of feeling that comes with it.

still. he can't help but feel ill-used. if he was anything less than what he was . . . ]

Then I'll accept it in the spirit in which it is given.

[demonicbeauty]

That's all I can ask.

[Again, she shakes her head.]

Anakin and I have spoken. I...

[A pause. She's not sure how to put it into words.]

We didn't fight, anyway.

[jedies]

I didn't expect you to.

[ and he means that honestly. he wonders briefly if he should mention that sam was responsible for dean's death. ]

[demonicbeauty]

To be honest, there was part of me that really wanted to hit him. But I didn't. It wouldn't have changed anything.

[A deep sigh.]

And that's just not who I want to be. Again.
