This is boring this is boring this is boring this is boring Cadi thought over and over again in her head. They had just gotten off an air taxi and were headed for the Senate's chambers. Why they were going there? She didn't know and nor did she care.
Cadi her name sung in her head.
Praise the Force! Some entertainment! she sent back happily.
I think we should talk
If never truer words have been spoken…
I'm serious.
Okay, Obi-Serious Kenobi, what do you want to talk about?
I want to know why you're acting like this he thought it best to be straightforward.
Didn't we go through this yesterday? her mood suddenly turning sour.
Yes, we did. But I don't understand, last night you were different-
I told you, my socially acceptable brain was deactivated
I certainly found it acceptable he smiled at her hopefully. But the girl just looked away and sighed.
Would you just stop this wishful thinking she sounded tired.
Why should I when we share the same wish? Cadi, why hold back on something that we both want? The question startled her, and the purple eyes flashed up at him. In that one simple glance Obi saw the answer: she was afraid. Look, Cadi, I promise you-
I don't want to hear any of that she cut him off, new waves of vulnerability coming from her in the Force I've been promised things before
Well that's not fair to me. I'm not them Obi felt himself getting frustrated.
Fair?!? her thought rang in his head, and then, he felt surrender, Fair she repeated. Why couldn't you have picked some other girl? Huh? Some girl you already knew from the Temple? her mood was starting to lighten.
Hey, you try dating someone you've known your whole life- it's like dating your sister he was rewarded with her laughter, and in that moment, it was the sweetest sound he could hear. He felt it safe to take her hand, did so, and was ecstatic to find she did not pull away.
"Is this acceptable?" he said in a whisper. Out of the corner of his eye he saw Master Qui-Gon behind them, smiling.
"In time, I guess it will be," came the reply.
