"Obi-wan."

The Jedi master looked up from the data slate he was studying about Umale Bindo. He saw Daryan standing in the doorway.

"Come in, come in," he said, beckoning the young man in.

Daryan sat down across from Obi-wan. They were in the briefing room that Daryan had left earlier.

"I don't think I should stay on this planet," Daryan said, looking at his fingernails, "I would like to see Bindo brought to justice, but.."

"But you have too much emotionally invested in this," Obi-wan said, feeling Daryan's emotions.

"There was one thing that Master Onasen taught me that stuck with me throughout my whole life, and it was to run from battles that caused you to be angry. While I was fighting that man, I felt a rage come over me, like I wasn't in control."

"That's why we teach such strict emotional control," Obi-wan said, leaning back in his chair, "but I understand what you are saying. It's a very mature decision to bring it up with me."

Daryan stood up from his seat and bowed, "Thank you for understanding, Obi-wan. If there are any more excursions, I'll stay on this ship."

"There will be no need, the war on this planet is progressing in the Republic's favor," Obi-wan said, picking up another data slate, "Rex and Aislinn, though it meant to be a diversion, took control of the base they were assaulting as well. We will be heading for Coruscant tomorrow."

Daryan was relieved. He was about to leave, but then turned back into the room.

"Uh... where can I get some food?"

"The camp has a cafeteria, you can get some there," Obi-wan said, turning back to his reading.

Daryan ditched his Jedi robe in favor of his black jacket and headed out of the ship.

"Where are you going?"

Daryan looked over his shoulder and saw Ahsoka coming down the ramp after him.

"I'm hungry."

Now that Daryan had mentioned it, Ahsoka was too.

"Care to join me?" Daryan said, extending his arm as an invitation.

Ahsoka bumped into his arm and passed him, "Come on slow poke!"

"Ow geez!" Daryan said sarcastically, "I'm fragile!"

They walked into the hall and found some food being served. They got their own trays and sat down at one of the tables in the long room.

"Hey!"

A twi'lek sat down in front of them with his tray. He was young and looked at the two with admiration as he sat in front of them.

"Hello Dominic," Ahsoka said politely.

"You're Ahsoka right? And you are the dangerous one!" the twi'lek said.

Daryan laughed and Ahsoka put her hand on her forehead.

"Daryan, this is Dominic, Aislinn's Padawan," Ahsoka explained.

"Good to meet you, Dom," Daryan said, extending his hand.

The boy shook it with vigor.

"Is it true you guys took out a tank?" He asked before shoveling food into his mouth.

"That was all Ahsoka," Daryan said, taking a bite of his food.

"That's so cool! Of course, Anakin Skywalker's Padawan would be able to," the boy said through a mouthful.

Ahsoka laughed politely and took some bites of her food.

"So Daren," Dominic said after he had swallowed, "You aren't in control of your emotions, or something?"

Daryan laughed at the kid's bluntness. It was sort of refreshing.

"It's Daryan, and yes, I don't believe that a Jedi shouldn't be allowed to love."

"Ohhh..." the boy said, eating another mouthful. It was like he was chewing the words with his brain while he was chewing his food.

"Love sounds kind of stupid," Dominic said after a while.

Daryan smiled, "I've seen love drive a man to superhuman feats. It has started and ended many wars, and has brought smiles to trillions of faces across the galaxy. I don't think its stupid at all."

The boy looked at him in wonder. Maybe Daryan shouldn't have said anything...

"Dominic, where are you? Report back to the ship, immediately!" buzzed Dominic's comlink.

"Sorry guys, gotta go!" he said, getting up, "See you guys later!"

After he had left the two sat in silence.

"That guy makes even you look mature," Daryan said with a snicker.

"Shut up!" Ahsoka said, hitting Daryan.

After eating, Daryan and Ahsoka found themselves on the wall again. They had climbed on top of the tower that Ahsoka had been on before, and sat, chatting about their past experiences.

"You really painted a good picture of love to that kid," Ahsoka said, changing the subject.

"His master is going to hate me," Daryan said with a laugh.

"You forgot to mention the other half of love."

"You mean the heartbreak, the depression and the rage it can cause?" Daryan said, looking down at his feet.

"Yes, that part," Ahsoka said, looking at Daryan.

Daryan looked at Ahsoka and their eyes locked.

"It's not about that stuff, Ahsoka," Daryan said, "It's about the unending joy that you feel when you are with that special person. It's about the times when you two are oblivious to everything else in the world around you. It's the times that you can look them in the eyes, and get lost for hours..."

Ahsoka's blue eyes stared into Daryan's deep brown. Neither of them looking away to break the moment.

"Snips, report," came Anakin's voice from the comlink.

Ahsoka looked away, "I'm here."

"Obi-wan said we have received new orders, find Daryan and report back to the ship."

"Will do," Ahsoka said, getting up.

The two walked back in silence to the Twilight.
