CAUR Part 6
Unsure he was as to what was more revolting.
On the one hand, taking far too much pleasure in the holopic Padawan Kenobi was, since bloodlust unbecoming a Jedi is. On the other hand, most inappropriate was the way in which did Tala paw at Master Windu.
Most inappropriate his attempts to escape were.
With that in mind, used a Mind Trick on Master Windu Yoda had. Claimed he had many times that weak-minded he was not, but weak-minded makes us all a beautiful woman does. "Well, that went well," Obi-Wan said wryly, sparing a glance at the terrified Master Windu who was still trying to avoid a permanent attachment to his personal upholstery.
"Tala is an old friend of the family," Carmyn repeated with a grin, "and our favorite game is trying to confuse the Sith out of those around us."
"It worked," Obi-Wan grinned. "I was ready to mind-trick the both of you and Master Windu is now the victim of someone who thinks it highly romantic that he defended her virtue."
"Which was your intention in the first place," Obi-Wan guessed.

"A sensible idea, since we won't be able to navigate through this storm," Mace mused. "Any suggestions?"
"There's a great bakery just next to the Senate Arboretum," Obi-Wan recommended, "and it's not too far from here."
"The one run by three Grans and an Ewok?" Carmyn asked.
"You know it, then?" Obi-Wan said, delighted.
"Of course," she responded. "The Ewok is a friend..."
"Of your mother's," Mace finished. "Is there any furry thing that isn't?"
She considered for a long moment. "Not that I can think of," she admitted. "Shall we be going?"
