(-_-) Thanks to all those who contributed. This is just to tide you over
for now while I develop a plot in my head. Thanks especially to KMSCUFFLE.
As it turns out, we actually are going on a field trip soon with him, so I
should have some nice material to work with from there. That's two weeks
from now. I'll try to update before then, but school has been hell lately.
8 days till AOTC! (-_-)
Uh-oh, here again, alone, Cadi thought as she remained forcefully casual standing outside the door of what would soon be her Classic class. She'd had the weekend to contemplate her little experience, but was far from recuperated. Today all she hoped for was someone ELSE to be in the hallway today.
Apparently the Force was with her.
At exactly the same moment that her teacher popped out of the Language office, the door to the Huttese class across the hall released a flock of her peers, several of which were in her Classic class. Caryn was one of them.
Now every single one of Caryn's classmates knew she had a problem. Every time she talked to somebody, anybody, no matter how well she knew him, she had the habit of holding on to his elbow, commanding his attention as she spoke. Every sophomore in the Jedi Temple had found this out at one point or another. But Obi-Wan Kenobi was, like with most things, oblivious.
Blast, Cadi recalled suddenly, he's giving us a quiz today.
"Is the quiz hard?" Cryn was fast-approaching Mr. Kenobi, who Cadi noticed now was standing directly across from her, again within the standard personal space area.
"It shouldn't be," he replied mysteriously. Caryn smiled pretentiously and her body language fell into its normal pattern, consisting of several dramatic hand gestures.
"Because I just took the *hardest* Huttese test in my *entire* life," she proclaimed emphatically. She got little more than a nod of acknowledgement from him. Accustomed to getting much more attention, she shifted her stand to pretend to be hurt. Kenobi continued to casually survey all of the kids that were flooding the halls. Sinking further into "automatic' mode, Caryn's hand flew up to clutch at his elbow as she started talking again.
"Do you think that-" she started. Obi-Wan regarded her questioningly, but made no motion to remove the inappropriately-placed hand. As if receiving an electrical shock, Caryn realized her faux pa and lurched her hand away, jumping back as she flushed deeply. Obi-Wan's amused smile was just perceptible to Cadi, who could not contain her laughter.
Yeah, she thought, he definitely knows now.
