AN: Thanks to everyone who liked and reviewed Of Jedi and Banisters! This particlar chapter is much shorter and sillier, but the idea popped into my head and it was too cute not to write. It takes place right after Geonosis.
Of How A Jedi Says 'I Told You So'
by: Amrita Glittersong
For all appearences, it was just another day in the Jedi Archives for the head Archivist, Jocasta Nu. She was straightening holocrons, checking the terminals to make sure they were all on their basic screens and not left on search strings by various absent minded initiates, and doing all the other general things any normal librarian would do.
However, the usually at least semi-busy Archive was quiet; the only thing that belied the fact that Geonosis had happened only the day before. Now, the surviving Knights, Masters, and Padawans that had been involved in the battle were either meditating, healing, or both.
Except for one, it seemed. Jocasta looked over at the lone Knight, who was leaning slightly against a desk for support and wearing an innocent expression on his face. His reddish-blond hair made him easy to identify, even before she got close enough to talk to him. "What are you doing here, Kenobi? Shouldn't you be in the Med Ward?"
"Probably." Obi-Wan responded noncommitedly, not that Jocasta was surprised; she'd heard and experienced plenty of stories about Obi-Wan's tendency to simply wander away from the Med Ward when he felt like it. He turned his innocent expression towards her again, now complete with a small smile, but didn't speak again.
Jocasta regarded him for a moment, trying to guess his motives, though it was always a difficult task with Obi-Wan. After getting nothing for a few more seconds, she decided to just ask what she always did. "Can I help you with something?"
Obi-Wan's smile grew slightly, and he responded with an only barely controlled tone of amusement. "Yes, I was looking for a system called Kamino..."
Jocasta just stared at him for a good three seconds before he couldn't hold a straight face any longer and began chuckling. She wasn't sure whether to be annoyed, or amused by that he would even dare to tease her. Either way, there was only one response.
"Out with you, Obi-Wan! Get back to the Med Ward!" She said, shoving him gently towards the exit for a few paces before he limped out on his own, still laughing. As he disappeared down the corridor, she did something no librarian should ever do, and shouted after him. "And you'll do well to remember that gloating is unbecoming of a Jedi Knight!"
That said, she returned to the Archives and made herself a note to replace Kamino in the Archives post haste.
