"Why can't you go to someplace like Yavin 4?" Xanatos inquired as they circled each other with their sabers drawn.

"Because we will be easily found there." Obi-Wan responded, attacking at the same time.

Xanatos swiped away Obi-Wan's blade and spun away from Obi-Wan. "You three can just hide your presences. Anakin's a smart kid, he'll be able to figure it out in no time at all."

Obi-Wan struck at Xanatos' side and was easily blocked by Xanatos' blue blade. "Anakin needs social interaction. Siri and I don't cut it."

"Alright then, so why can't you guys stay here?" Xanatos asked, putting Obi-Wan on the defensive with his quick strikes.

Obi-Wan flipped over Xanatos only to get his feet swept out from under him seconds later. With a grunt as he landed on the hot sand, Obi-Wan answered, "This will be one of the first places they'll look."

"You have inherited Qui-Gon's stubbornness." Xanatos stated, knocking Obi-Wan's lightsaber out of his hands.

Obi-Wan laid on the sand and grinned up at Xanatos. "That's not really a bad thing most of the time."

Disengaging his lightsaber and hooking it to his belt, Xanatos helped Obi-Wan back to his feet. "This is one of the times that I believe your stubbornness is going to land you, along with your apprentice and friend Siri, into a lot of trouble."

"No place is ever a hundred percent safe Xanatos." Obi-Wan answered as he retrieved his lightsaber.

"I know that, but I do have to say that most places are safer then your home planet." Xanatos continued as he followed Obi-Wan into the hut.

"I think you've been isolated for far to long." Obi-Wan retorted.

Xanatos snorted. "I doubt it."

...

Siri relaxed against the pale brown, sofa, her eyes closed as she listened to Shmi sing a bedtime song to Anakin. It was a beautiful song sung in a language that Siri was unfamiliar with.

The song ended and Siri opened her eyes to see Shmi coming out of Anakin's bedroom. "That was a wonderful song. What language was it in?"

Shmi sat down next to Siri and answered, "Terunoki. It's a dead language, not many people use it anymore."

"It sounds like a wonderful language to know. Where did you learn it?" Siri asked.

"When I was a child, my parents gave me a datadisc that contained the language and what it means in basic. I'm not sure where they found it, but I'm glad they did. It made all the long space flights a lot more fun." Shmi answered.

Siri's eyes sparkled with interest. "Could you teach me it?"

Shmi nodded. "Sure, I'll go get the disc."
