Prompt from Han. S (Guest): I'd love to see more toddler/little Obi Wan. Can you do that please?

…..

Obi-Wan pressed himself against the wall as he inched his way past the oblivious Masters' who were making their way down the corridors.

None of them noticed the toddler away from the creche… the toddler who was a little bit scared.

Part of Obi-Wan's mind scolded him for being a baby… they were Masters', they wouldn't hurt him… but they might shout at him, and in the three-year-old's mind, that was way worse.

But he was hungry… and he knew the cafeteria was somewhere around here... possibly.

Obi-Wan took a few more steps, sliding his small body along the wall.

"Hey, what are you doing?!"

Startled by the sudden, raised voice, Obi-Wan tore down the corridor with a cry, until he was far away from any tall Masters' with loud voices.

However, as there were no sounds coming from people walking through the corridors, the silence was over-whelming… it was almost… scary. The shadows seemed to reach out for him.

Closing his eyes, Obi-Wan ran, arms outstretched until he reached another wall and bounced off it. Pushing himself to his feet, he kept his eyes on the figures that seemed to line the walls… and then he spotted the door.

"P'ease be food… p'ease be food." He chanted softly under his breath, pushing the doors open.

When it turned out to be a classroom, Obi-Wan's lower lip started to tremble. He considered trying to make his way back to the creche, but the thought of going through all those corridors again caused him to tremble.

"Master Kim!" he cried out for the creche master.

The only answer was his own voice as it echoed off the walls. He balled up his fists, looking for a place where he could just sit down and stay. His little legs hurt, and the exhaustion had taken over the hunger.

Curling up into a small ball, he settled in the corner of the classroom and tried not to cry.

"Looks like you were right Master Yoda."

Obi-Wan startled awake at the deep voice, bright blue eyes staring up at the pair standing above him.

"A child can wander this far into the Temple and get lost."

He recognised them instantly.

"Master Yoda? Master Jinn?"

"Glad we are, to have found you." Master Yoda smiled gently at the toddler, "Reason you have, for being out late?"

At that moment, Obi-Wan's tummy started to rumble and he flushed in embarrassment.

"Ah, understand now. I do." Master Yoda winked at the toddler, pulling a cookie out of nowhere, "Let it slide this once, we will."

Slowly making his way over, Obi-Wan guiltily glanced over at Master Jinn as he took the cookie, unwrapping it and nibbling on it nervously.

"Sowy Masters." He whispered, tears starting to build in his eyes again.

There was a brief moment of silence, before Master Jinn knelt down in front of him and gave him a reassuring smile, "It is not a problem little one."

Obi-Wan couldn't help but return the small smile, crumbs dotted around his mouth as he finished the cookie. Once done, Master Yoda spoke up again. "Back to bed, you should go…" he gently ordered the small toddler, "… lead the way, we will. Stories about Master Jinn, I will tell you."

Master Jinn audibly groaned at this, as Obi-Wan giggled.

He wasn't scared of the shadows anymore.
