"Hey Obi-Wan!" Siri Tachi said in a chirpy voice, sitting down next to him.
"Hi." He mumbled back, playing with his food. Siri frowned when she didn't get much of a greeting. "What's wrong?" She asked, frowning even more when she got no reaction.
"Obi? What's wrong?" She asked again, this time frowning at the food which Obi-Wan was playing with. She grabbed the bowl of food and put it to her left, out of Obi-Wan's reach.
"Siri, give it back. I'm not in the mood and I'm hungry." He muttered. Siri shook her head, her shoulder length blonde hair swaying side to side.
"I'll give it back when you tell me what's bothering you." She said firmly, trying to look Obi-Wan in the eye.
"Obi you can tell me." She said, softening her voice. "I don't like it when you're like this." Obi-Wan sighed but continued looking at where the bowl was before.
"My request to train the boy, to train Anakin was refused." He said, trying to stop the tears that might come at any moment.
"That's terrible! But you must admit you are far to young," Obi-Wan shook his head fiercely and glared at the girl.
"Not you too! It was Qui-Gon's dying wish for me to train him!" He said, getting slightly angry. Siri nodded. "I know as you've said millions of times but for blasted sake would you just let me finish?" She said, keeping his anger in check. "For one you wouldn't have enough experience to train a Padawan. You just became a Knight yourself. Wouldn't it be better for Anakin if he had someone teaching him that had a lot of experience, more than yourself?" She asked, raising her eyebrows. Obi-Wan nodded, thinking it through. Siri did have a point.
"And as I said before you are to young to think about training someone else. Most Knights don't get Padawans until they are older than you are. And wouldn't you just enjoy the times by yourself until the time comes when you could get another Padawan? Relax and study in the next few years." Siri said. Obi-Wan finally nodded, accepting Siri had a point.
"Who is it anyway? Siri asked after handing Obi-Wan his bowl back. Obi-Wan looked up and frowned. "Some Jedi Knight called Scar. I didn't catch her real name." He replied, intent on eating. He didn't even notice Siri's eyes widen at the name.
"Scar?! There couldn't be anyone better than her! Have you met her?" Siri asked in a rush, while Obi-Wan had a mouthful of food. He nodded. After swallowing he replied properly.
"Yes, it seems she knows Qui-Gon. She was very upset." He replied, as he watched Siri's reaction.
"Of course she was, they've been on tons of missions together. They were good friends. I've never seen them together but it's said when they fight together it's just like there's one person fighting. It's said they move like liquid and that together they're lethal." She said, her eyes glistening as she remembered.
"I've never heard of her before." Obi-Wan frowned, wondering why his Master had never told him about her before.
"You're joking right? You've never heard of Scar?" She asked. He shook his head, while trying to eat. "She's a legend. Thousands owe her their lives but she won't accept any favours. She's only accepted two and that was to save more people." Siri said, her eyes sparkling. "She's a legend. Everyone wants her to pick them, everyone wants her praise. Not many gets it. She's fought in lots of civil wars and saved countless planets from destruction. Anakin is lucky. And you are too." Siri said.
"Yeah, well, it doesn't feel that way." Obi-Wan muttered.
