Cradle to Grave

''

Dark Obi AU.

52, morning

The old Master wakes to the unexpected sight of his student holding a thick pillow over the sleeping little boy. For a moment, the impossible crosses the Master's mind and his hand goes at once to the weapon on his belt.

Then the student lifts the boy's head and places the pillow gently.

The Master is ashamed. "Padawan," he calls.

"Master, I didn't want to wake you."

"You didn't. The day has already begun and you have ushered it in with an act of kindness."

The student blushes at the praise, and silently curses his Master for a light-sleeping fool.
