Thought I'd whip up another of these for you guys- whole thing was made with a half hour of free time as I attempt to adjust to my new living quarters. 'Cuz I moved while you guys weren't watching. Enjoy- this one starts out mid conversation between our heroine and her master/best friend/only friend/possible love interest.


"I mean, think about it." Ventress continued, getting caught up with a bit of enthusiasm for her idea. "Us, together, it'd be fantastic."

Obi-wan shook his head. "Asajj, we can't. It's dangerous and irresponsible."

"Yes, and I know irresponsible goes against some sort of policy you have set for yourself, but…" She leaned down to where Obi-wan sat, resting her chin almost on his shoulder, "I also know you really want to." she said softly.

He released his grip on the datapad he was holding, and it hit the desk with a soft thump. She could tell, just from his slightly startled expression, that she had him. He wanted this. He wanted to go against rules. She smirked slightly.

"At least admit it." Ventress demanded.

He sighed. "Asajj, no."

"Go on. Tell me the truth."

"You know the rules."

"I know them. But the rules say nothing about simple admittance."

She could see him struggling with his dignity, and his civilized-ness, but in the end he gave up. "Alright, it's true. I feel the same."

"Say it."

He looked up towards where she stood over him and gave his apprentice a look of wide-eyed sheer frustration and disbelief that made him look a bit mad- almost crazy. "What do you want me to say? Word for word, Ventress, tell me what you want."

"I want you to admit that we would look great walking casually away from an explosion behind us and then standing back to back, sabers ignited. I want you to say that this would look completely epic- which is a word I have never used before and may never use again. I want you to say that."

"It would look epic." He said simply. She arched an eyebrow. "You're right, my dear, it would." He conceded. "That does not, however, mean we are blowing anything up."

She chuckled. "I never said we had to. I just wanted you to loosen up a bit about it. Now come on. Let's get lunch." Asajj pulled his arm, and he followed, smiling. Once in a while, she'd be completely right in her uncivilized way. And that was good.

Asajj Ventress: 1
Obi-wan Kenobi: 0

Had you going, didn't I? XD Ventress wins this round, as Obi-wan admitted that something so uncivilized can indeed look epic. Also this one dedicated to a friend ((no idea if she's on this site or not, registered or otherwise)) who is a master at the frustrated/what-do-you-want/stark-raving-mad look Obi-wan briefly dons. I imagine he learned it while putting up with Anakin. TTFN, kind readers.
