Asis wasn't sure what she was drinking, but given that she was almost certain it was alcohol, she'd keep drinking it till the bartender stopped serving it. Tucked away in a corner of the obscure little diner, she sat quietly as tears rolled slowly down her cheeks.
When you're too in love to let it go
"Ah…Greetings, Jedi Silvermoon," said the small, stocky human, giving a low bow as Asis entered his establishment. He made no effort to hide his peaking curiosity at her strange garb, and when she placed a several credits upon his desk, requesting a room to stay in, he could no longer hold his tongue. "I must admit I am surprised to see you. Usually I am notified ahead of time when a Jedi is in need of a room, Jedi Silvermoon."
"Lady Silvermoon," she corrected him, her voice soft and strained, "I am no longer with the Jedi."
If you never try you'll never know
The overwhelming truth of what she'd just done was still washing over her, and she could have sworn that her heart was lodged in her throat. She had left him without a word; just a thought that she wasn't even sure had reached him. And the look on his face would surely haunt her for the rest of her life.
Just what you're worth
Once the door to her room was shut and promptly locked, Asis wasted no time in releasing her bag and letting it fall to the floor with a soft thud. She in turn moved to the bed and collapsed upon it, burying her face into the crisp white pillow and noting, with a hint of anguish, that it did not smell of Obi-Wan. Rather, it smelt sterile and uninviting. Sighing, she turned onto her back to stare at the ceiling, which was bare and held no warmth of memories. And suddenly, visions of her old room began to infiltrate her mind, and she could not deny the frown that pulled down the corners of her mouth. Her walls had held the secrets of her life, and her ceiling had kept the memories that she was trying to forget.
"I must leave this place," she whispered to herself, fighting back the oncoming tears.
Lights will guide you and ignite you bones
"Another?" The robotic waiter interrupted her thoughts as it rolled over to her seat, another glass of the sapphire liquid teetering dangerously on a serving tray. Barely glancing at the droid, Asis gave a sedated nod and slid the appropriate credits across the table. At this, the droid placed the filled glass before the young woman, snatched up the credits and empty glass, and wheeled off, back towards the main bar. Muttering a "thank you" to the bartender that had already left, she picked up the drink. She allowed it to hover before her lips for a moment, before slowly sipping it. Grimacing at the potent taste, she returned the glass to the table. Sighing, Asis allowed her eyes to drift towards the window of the diner, taking in the sight that was the lower Coruscant. With a bitter laugh, she noted that it was raining.
"How fitting," she muttered, bringing the drink to her mouth once more. And then her eyes fell upon a lone man, standing outside the diner, peering through the window, and soaked to the bone. Asis didn't think her heart could break any more that it already had, but she was certain she felt another jolt of pain tear through her chest at the sight of him. "Obi-Wan."
And I will try to fix you
