Dinner
"Well, that wasn't as bad as it could be, wouldn't you say?" said Tara, good naturedly. She was wearing a simple floor length forest green dress with silver trim. Her hair was worn half drawn and the rest loose with a few strands loose to caress her face with strands of gold shining through the drawn part. The dress looked good on her, but the neckline was too low for her comfort. The only jewelry she wore was a slender silver chain with a silver moon hanging from it.
"Easy for you to say. You did well, defeating me at every thing. I don't know how long it's been since I've had someone to spar with that was worth the time and effort." Obi-wan said, chuckling quietly to himself. His eyes, a clear sea green sparkled with joy at seeing an old friend again and his face, a light shade of crimson. He noticed her eyes were an icy crystalline, something that only close friends would know meant happiness.
They laughed and talked some more, ignoring all time that went. When it was about 8, they went to Tara's chambers to have some tea. On the way, they met Anakin.
"Oh, that's where you are Master. Good evening Senator Ross. I trust you are enjoying yourself?" he said politely.
"Just Tara, please. I hate formality, if your Master hasn't told you. Would you care to join us to have some tea in my quarters?" Tara said, out of courtesy.
"If my master allows it, my lady." Anakin said, giving a laughing look at Obi-wan and receiving a glare and a nod. This made Tara laugh harder any lady they had ever come across.
Tara
By the force, he's blushing. I wonder where his control went. Well, I'm happy, now that I know I'm stronger in a way than a full fledged Master, and that someone gave me a proper spar. My, he HAS gotten stiff over the years, but no matter. I'll fix that. I wonder who his padawan is. I wonder how long we've been talking and I really must cancel Wednesday to go to that..meeting of his. Oh, I like his padawan, Anakin. He knows just how to irritate Kenobi. I think we should get together sometime and well, I'll think of that later.
Obi-wan
That dress makes her look so beauti- by the force, what am I thinking? How can I be attracted to her? Despite the facts that she's quick, witty, intelligent, funny, an actress, my equal in a way, beautiful, and talented, she's a friend. I hope I won't ruin our relationship. Oh, wonderful, now I'm blushing. She's happy, with that look in her eye. :: Anakin, meet me in the hall before Senator Ross's room in 15 minutes. :: :: Of course Master. Do I hear embarrassment from you? :: :: Never mind that, just do as I say padawan. You have much to learn still. :: That reminds me; maybe, I should have her meet up with Anakin on a free day to show him some of her skills, which he could no doubt learn from. Well, here he is now. Oh no, he's ganged up with her! That is the worst possible. They are no doubt thinking up ways to get back at me.
Anakin
Well, I'm glad to have a night off. I should ask Master if it is true that a beautiful lady beat him at sparring. I wonder who she is. :: Anakin, meet me in the hall before Senator Ross's room in 15 minutes. :: :: Of course Master. Do I hear embarrassment from you? :: :: Never mind that, just do as I say padawan. You have much to learn still. :: I really truly do wish he would not call me that vulgar name, padawan. I wonder why Senator Ross? Oh, she is beautiful, but not as beautiful as Padme. Oh, now she is the type I can get along with. I see she knows what can irritate Master. We really should get together sometime in the future. I am too much the fool to ever think to get the night off.
