I can help you get home if that's easier. I have no issues working around your preferences. I do know some nice bars at least.

[frogiturgy]

It's been a very long time since I've dated, and even then it was not to the norms of this town. We can roll with whatever you think is appropriate for the situation.

[jedies]

Well, dating should be casual and start with us getting to know each other and being comfortable.

And I'll never say no to drinks.

[frogiturgy]

Casual, with drinks.

That sounds perfect.

[jedies]

Shall I see you tonight?

[frogiturgy]

Yes.

Yes!

[It might be text-- but can you tell he's excited? Perell was grinning like a goofball. It had been far too long since he had even thought about trying to date anyone-- and he had never even tried to date a General before.

--Right. Casual. Eager, but trying not to seem too eager, Perell continued.]

I mean. I can clear my calendar.

Where would you like to meet?

[jedies]

Why not the Achelliac?

[frogiturgy]

The bathhouse in Darcmouth?

Sure!

[jedies]

Then I'll see you in the evening.

[frogiturgy]

Of course!

How shall I find you?

[jedies]

You don't think you'll recognize me from my picture?

[frogiturgy]

I think some people would buff up their photos. I know I would, and the crowded bathhouse might distract from the reality.

Very well. I'll trust you.

I'll be the gentleman with the flower in his hat.

[jedies]

I'll be sure to keep an eye out for you.

[frogiturgy]

[With that, Perell closes out the connection-- and begins his escapade of digging through his meager wardrobe for something acceptable for a... date. He didn't have much, but he was a man of distinct taste and was carefully building his supplies.

That evening, true to his word, Perell did arrive at the Achilliac. Howver, between his outfit and his hat, he was not dressed appropriately for a location historically frequented by sailors. With his wide glasses, reedy build, and oddly peppy demeanor for a man who looked like he was still rebuilding his strength after a personal crisis, it was hard to miss him.

The large koi who trailed a far enough clip behind to not get his immediate attention was also hard to miss, despite her attempts at hiding.

Stopping at the bar, Perell tipped up his hat in search of Obi-Wan-- and beamed when he caught sight of the man.]

There you are!

[He called, waving as he trotted over.]

This is my first time in this part of town. Sorry if I'm late.

[jedies]

[ obi-wan waves him over congenially, the corners of his eyes crinkling. he is not wearing his coat and robes for once, dressed casually in a white shirt and black slacks. he has some eye for fashion after all. ]

Not at all.

[ he holds his hands out. ]

[frogiturgy]

[How embarrassing. Perell momentarily felt overdressed-- and this manner of greeting was one he was unsure of. Regardless, he quickly joined the other man with a fond smile of his own.]

Thanks, [he said, lifting his hands to mirror Obi-Wan. A little guidance on this would be nice.]

This is a really neat place. You, uh, come here often?

[jedies]

[ if obi-wan notices a misstep, he doesn't bring attention to it, merely clasping the man's hand warmly. ]

Sometimes. I have a certain fondness for places like these.

[frogiturgy]

Thank goodness.

[He heaved a sigh of noticeable relief.]

That's great-- because I've no idea what's good here or not. I, uh. I've only been in town for about a month, and there's a lot to learn.

[jedies]

[ obi-wan smiles as he squeezes perell's hand warmly. ]

Well, there's no rush. I'm sure you'll find out for yourself what you like.

[frogiturgy]

Yeah, of course.

[It was... easy, to feel relaxed around this utter stranger somehow. Perell wasn't one necessarily to do much socializing, but it was good to see new faces and make new friends, no matter what. Life had dealt him a strange hand, no matter what world he was in.

There was no reason to just sit down frozen in frustration over it.

He gripped Obi-Wan's hand in return, still feeling awkward but a little more confident.

Yeah. He could do this.]

So. Um. What kinda things do you do when you're not posting interesting photos on the network and meeting with strangers in bars down by the shore?

[jedies]

[ obi-wan gently leads him to a stool before settling himself next to perell. ]

Oh, not much. I do some meditation and saber exercises. Some patrols around Trench in case anyone needs help. Check up on people.

[frogiturgy]

[How... nice. How kindly. Perell felt a little embarrassed-- but, it had been so long since he had even attempted a casual outing like this. Maybe he was just out of practice.]

Meditation and saber exercises? That sounds a lot like what a friend of mine does. With less sabers... and probably more talking to animals, rocks, or plants.

[It was Vyng, of course. The Druid was his main reference for affairs involving meditation...]

Patrolling and checking up on people sounds like a fine, noble task. You said before that you're a General-- do you do all this because of the title or something else?

[jedies]

Well, I do a little of that too.

[ not so much rocks, unless they're sentient in some way of course. ]

No, I do it because I am a Jedi. It's what I've been trained and taught to do. My calling, so to speak.

[frogiturgy]

I see.

[He nodded, truly intrigued, and resisted the urge to start rattling off questions. There was no need to repeat a certain... Soup incident, after all.]

Sorry, sorry. Let's back up-- what is a Jedi?

[jedies]

We're peacekeepers. We're raised to respect the Light Side of the Force and keep the galaxy in balance. That means helping others reach peaceful solutions instead of conflict or aiding those who cannot protect themselves.
