Today's snippet
Dec. 16th, 2014 12:00 amAs It All Burns AU again today, a little bit from Obi-Wan and company, and another small bit with Valorum's aide and a meeting she's taking notes for.
Obi-Wan and company:
The frustration from Anakin boils over into a momentary burst of anger, and Obi-Wan holds up a hand to deflect the pillow that is sent flying at him with Force-enhanced speed.
"There's only so much that can be taught in isolation, Anakin." Obi-Wan tosses the pillow back to the bed, watching Anakin for a long moment. "It won't be so bad to see other people again."
"If they hurt either of you, yes it will be." Anakin scowls, crossing his arms over his chest. "If we killed Sidious, we'd be heroes, and they'd have to leave you alone."
"Would that it were that easy." Obi-Wan rolls his eyes, heading for the main room, and his clothes. If they could so easily kill Sidious, he'd never have needed to ally himself with Maul to teach Anakin. They wouldn't have needed to hide on a backwater planet at the furthest reaches of the Republic that hid their Force-signatures from anyone who might be looking.
He never would have needed to break Maul out of the Temple, because if Maul had been confident of his ability to kill Sidious, they never would have met on Naboo over crossed sabers.
Darra (Valorum's aide) and a meeting:
"Serenno has land which can be used to build another Temple for the Order."
Dooku is attending the meeting via hologram, and Darra watches him from her seat behind Valorum, her stylus flying over the flimsiplast to record what's being said. He's the only Jedi she'd seen in the eight months she's been among the Separatists, and he'd been the one to reassure her that walking away from the Order isn't a horrible decision. That wanting to find some other manner of helping people is an entirely reasonable response to seeing her Master slaughtered in front of her, and barely escaping death herself.
"On Serenno, another Temple build we will not." Master Yoda shakes his head. his ears drooping, and looking more stooped and old than Darra remembers him being when she'd been in the creche. "Other places, there are, the Order to rebuild."
"At the moment, it would be better to maintain a more mobile population." Master Windu looks tired, and worn, though he wears age more lightly. "Even the younglings will be better split into their clans and housed in different places, in case there's ever a repeat of the Emperor's attempted massacre."
