Shadows never enveloped the upper levels of the giant city-planet of Coruscant. Even as Coruscant Prime lowered in the horizon, the vast expanse of glowing buildings reminded many beings of the stars, elegantly draped across the night sky. Although the sun had set, both humans and aliens alike gathered in the many clubs and bars that lined the streets. It was normal to see various sorts of beings enjoying a drink or two, or admiring the dancers. However, it was hard for a certain club owner to ignore the couple sitting in the back corner, with short metal cylinders that dangled off their belts.
Noise filled the club to the point at which one would need to yell in order for their fellow being to hear them. Music blared loudly enough to where you could hear it even if you stood outside. The two humans in the corner looked suspicious enough, and it was unnerving to the club owner, only because their conversation seemed so important. He would not have been so afraid if he were naïve enough not to recognize the humans as Jedi. Keepers of the peace, they called themselves, however it seemed to him that all they ever did was cause trouble.
The man was about to confront the two jedi and kindly ask them to leave until he noticed them laughing over some unheard joke. Slightly more relaxed, the man decided that they were not worth his time. One of the Jedi was a female human with blond hair and blue eyes that seemed to twinkle as she spoke. The other, a male with blond hair and blue eyes also, seemed to be sporting a braid that hung loosely behind his right ear. He tried to remember what the braid meant, knowing subconsciously that it symbolized something, but only knew that it seemed to accompany the younger of the Jedi he rarely saw.
Obi-Wan Kenobi sat across from his good friend Siri Tachi as they observed the other beings in the club.
"Obi-Wan, it's getting late, we should head back to the temple."
Obi-Wan glanced at is almost empty glass which had previously been filled with Corellian whiskey. Swirling the remains in the glass, he did not even look up at Siri, "Do you remember back when we were younglings?"
"Are you even listening? I said…"
"I know what you said."
Siri sighed as she thought back to her years at the Jedi Temple before she became a padawan, "I have memories here and there."
"Like the time we accidentally pushed Bruck Chun into that fountain?"
"Wasn't much of an accident as I recall… or the time I ruined Master Gallias robes?" Siri chucked softly.
"I actually don't remember that…"
Resting forward onto hands, resting on his propped up elbows, Obi-Wan raised his eyebrows.
"It was nothing important."
Even in the dim lighting of the club Obi-Wan noticed as Siri's cheeks began to turn a soft pink color, "Are you blushing? Don't tell me that the great Siri Tachi, Jedi Padawan to the famous Adi Gallia has secrets…"
"Everyone has secrets," she calmly said, trying to cover up her embarrassment.
"But this one is good…" Obi-Wan smirked as he leaned forward just a tad bit more.
"Obi-Wan stop! I told you it wasn't important!"
"What? Is it that you are afraid I will blackmail you with your precious secrets?"
"Obi-Wan…" the tone of her voice would have stopped anyone from further pushing the matter, but Obi-Wan rarely heeded her warnings.
"Or maybe it's so bad that you are just bursting to tell me."
"Obi-Wan Kenobi this conversation is over!"
The glint in his eyes was undeniable; Siri knew that Obi-Wan thoroughly enjoyed pushing her limits, "This conversation is over when I say it's over Siri Tachi."
"Don't even try it. I'm leaving. It's not my fault if Qui-Gon gets upset when you return an hour past curfew."
Obi-Wan did not even fight her anymore, he may have not feared testing his long time friend, but Qui-Gon was a force to be reckoned with, when he so chose.
His padawan hoped that tonight would not be one of those times.
