"So, I guess I should go to the cockpit and insert the coordinates for Tatooine?" Lin San asked Obi-Wan once the transmission with Yenshu ended.
"Good assumption Master Tseng. I'm proud of you." Obi-Wan said with a sarcastic smirk on his face. Lin San stuck her tongue out at him as she left the room. "Oh, that's real mature Lin San! It's good of you to show why you were named a master!" Obi-Wan called after her.
After Lin San put in the coordinates, she walked back into the room to find Obi-Wan playing a game of sabacc with the computer. "Enjoying yourself?" she asked with a smile on her face.
"Honestly, no. The computer is too easy. Look, I've already won." he said, motioning towards the game board. He joined Lin San on the coach that she was sitting on. "So, how do you think Tzadik and Lllyana are doing?"
"Well, I'm just hoping that they won't kill each other. Tzadik seemed like the type of person that would rather work alone. Lllyana probably had to do a lot of convincing." Lin San said absently.
"What's wrong? You seem like your somewhere else today. Is something bothering you?" Obi-Wan asked, concern written all over his face.
"I'm just remembering. I miss the past." she replied with a shrug. "Life was so easy then. You call the counsel, they tell you what to do and you do it. You report in when it's done and you go back and wait for another task. I miss it."
"You're not the only one." Obi-Wan agreed. "But now we are acting like the counsel and Tzadik, Lllyana, Yenshu, and Alexi are under our command." He chuckled and said, "Now I know what Master Windu and Master Yoda went through. I can barely handle four Jedi under us and they had hundreds. Now I'm glad I was never on the counsel."
"I used to be on the counsel. I gave it up after a few weeks because of Danel. Figures that she would go to the Dark Side. The thing that sucks is that I knew it and I couldn't do anything about it." she said with a sigh.
"What else are you thinking about?" Obi-Wan asked curiously.
"My relationships with some of the other Jedi. How I acted and if things could have been different." When she said this, Lin San's eyes met Obi- Wan's.
He blushed and turned away. After letting the statement hang in the air for a few minutes, Obi-Wan said, "Well, technically, we don't have to follow the Order anymore." He looked up and met Lin San's steady stare and they locked eyes.
Lin San's gaze faltered and she looked away and said, "But now we are looked up to by the others. They will act as we do, so we have to follow the Order." She got up and started for the cockpit. When she reached the door, Obi-Wan reached up to grab her, but she pulled away and said, "We are almost there, you should buckle up." She disappeared with a flutter of her cape.
Obi-Wan sat there for moment, lost at what to think of his conversation with Lin San. She always went back to their relationship before, but shrugged it off when he said anything. Did he say something wrong? Did she not feel the same way that he did anymore? He still loved her, but did she feel the same way? Of course she did. Lin San was always the one to bring up their past together. But maybe she was just making conversation. Obi-Wan was at a loss. He got up and walked to the cockpit. He sat in the copilot's chair and buckled up. Lin San said nothing to him as she brought them out of hyperspace.
