Shyanne bent over the Spatial Mathematics book and desperately tried to figure out the answer to the first problem. She'd been having trouble in the math class ever since it started, but even then she'd barely been able to cope with the class. Now, though, it was different. The midsessions were coming up, and she had to pass the test; if she didn't, she'd have to retake it and doing so would set back her training by a session.
She sighed, and Obi-Wan poked his head in the room.
"Having trouble?" He chirped.
She glanced up at him with a desperate look in her eyes, "Yeah. Umm…Can I ask you a question?"
"Yeah," he replied.
She sat up straight, then cracked her back before asking him, "Do you understand this?"
He entered the room, "What is it?"
She showed him the cover as she told him, "Spatial Math. I don't understand anything and I'm completely lost."
"I understand it," he ventured, "Do you need help?"
"Please?" She replied hopefully.
He sat down on the bed next to her, "What exactly are you having trouble with?"
She sighed, close to tears of confusion. "Everything!"
He put his arm around her, "I'll tutor you. I'll help get you up to speed."
She didn't know what to think, or say, for that matter. She was definitely confused. First he was grumpy, now he was nice and offering to tutor her? She mentally shook her mind; she'd figure that out later. Right now she had math to learn.
She sighed as Obi-Wan went over the problem again, still not understanding how he got the answer he had showed her..
He patiently went over the problem until she fully understood how and what to do with it.
"Now," he told her, "It's your turn."
She grimaced, and diligently tried to solve it.
"Did I do it right?" She asked hopefully as he checked it over.
He held up a finger, "Not done checking. Just a second."
She sighed and peered over his shoulder.
He turned his head and looked at her, "Can I help you?"
"Yeah," she replied, "I'd like to you tell me if I did anything wrong."
He frowned, "Well…You see right here?" He said as he pointed to a particular area of the problem that she had had the most trouble with, "You did this wrong," he told her as he showed her the correct way where she needed to be.
"Well, other than that?" she asked hopefully.
He glanced through the rest of the problem, "Nope. As far as I can see, you did the rest of it right. Well, as right as you can do it when you screwed up in the middle."
"Oh, thanks Wise Master!" She said as she put the math book away.
He cocked an eyebrow as he stood up, "I'm glad to see that you're thinking the right way, My Padawan."
She shook her head and grinned, "Padawan? In your dreams!"
Then she impulsively threw her arms around his neck, "Thank you, Obi-Wan!"
He grinned and hugged her back, enjoying the feel of her arms around him.
::Obi-Wan,:: Qui-Gon warned.
::Yes, Master?:: Obi-Wan replied, ignoring the tone of his Masters 'voice'.
::Is she learning anything or are you two fooling around in there?:: Qui- Gon asked with a hint of amusement in his voice.
Obi-Wan grinned, ::She's got it! She did the whole problem right! For the first time!::
He figured it wouldn't hurt to ommitt the truth…She had done the whole problem right…except for the one part.
::Would that be a cause for celebration?:: Qui-Gon asked his loving Padawan.
::Would you or Master Reneasha mind?:: He replied to his beloved Master.
Qui-Gon sighed, ::I suppose we could let you two celebrate.::
Shyanne glanced at Obi-Wan, "What are you two talking about?"
"Huh?" he asked as he listened to her, "Um, he said that we should celebrate…Do you want to?" he finished shyly.
A slow grin spread across her face, "I think I could enjoy that. Maybe."
He stood up and pulled her to her feet. "Let's go then!"
