"Anakin, you really didn't do what I think you did, did you?"
"Whatever do you mean, Master?"
"Anakin!" Obi-Wan sighed. "Do you ever listen to me?"
"I always listen to you, Master, I just don't always do as you say."
"No, see, Anakin, that's not the way things work. Let's try this. I tell you to do something. Now. What do you do?"
"I listen and see if it works for me?" Anakin tried mischievously.
"You hard-headed, infuriating, obstinate...! Oh!" Obi-Wan unclenched his jaw and took a deep, soothing breath. "Listen to me: When I tell you to do something, you pay attention very carefully then obey."
"Why?"
Obi-Wan resisted the urge to Force-choke his fourteen year-old Padawan. "Sometimes I think you live solely to irritate me."
"No, Master, I live to do that to everyone."
Obi-Wan narrowed his eyes at the smirking teenager.
"Really, Master. Everyone says I annoy them."
Narrower now.
"I also—what was the phrase?—rub them the wrong way."
Dark eyes bored into the teenager, unamused.
"Apparently I grate Master Windu's nerves."
"Anakin..." He said tightly.
"So, am I off the hook?"
"No! You destroyed half the building because you didn't follow my instructions!"
"It can be repaired."
"Then you flew your ship into the building and crashed."
"A honest accident."
"You set twenty machines on fire." Obi-Wan spoke from behind clenched teeth.
"They're replaceable."
"Then you almost attacked the owner."
"He surprised me."
"And burnt his hair off."
"Lucky for him, in my opinion."
"Do you have such flippant answers for everything?"
"I try, Master."
Unclenching his jaw, Obi-Wan managed to say,"Go meditate."
"I don't want to." Anakin pulled a pout.
"I don't care. For once, you're going to do as I say!"
"And if I don't?"
I can't Force-choke him, can I?
"Just do it, please. I can't take much more of this."
"More of what?"
"Anakin."
"How about you go meditate and I go find something to eat?"
Obi-Wan began to protest but his Padawan was running down the hall already.
One day, I'm going to choke him, I swear!
