obi-wan:

when he breathes , it is a wheezing , rasping sound ; phlegm rattling around in it's organic throat && emerging as feedback from his voice modulator. grievous coughs ― [ it is as unproductive as always , ] though offers him a few , brief moments of reprieve before the discomfort returns.

──✶"tell me" sentence starters

"You're interested in my family drama?" Family feels foreign on his tongue, but there lacks a better term for it. It is amusing as it is disturbing (and enough to bring a slight quirk to his lips) to imagine his surviving lineage all trapped in a room together and not trying to murder one another. Obi-Wan would say they were a broken bunch, but between all the failures, rejections, lies, and betrayals, he can't say they were ever whole.

"As younglings . . . us Jedi are raised communally and we lack nothing." It is an odd concept to some, but there was truly no better way to raise a Force sensitive toddler than with a room full of warm comforting presences and teachers who devoted their lives to seeing them safe and healthy. It is all too easy for their young to pick up on stray emotions and even the knights just outside the nursery doors would have struggled to keep themselves in check. Their upbringing is a far cry to the constant rumors of being stolen from their homes and raised in an emotionless ward. "But many of us still dream of being chosen to apprentice, for the chance to join a lineage.

"You not only gain a Master to teach you, but padawan-siblings—those they raised before—and sometimes if you are lucky, a grand-Master, of which it's usually an honor to have; it was more common once, not so much now." Obi-Wan shrugs. He is fortunate enough to even have a great grand-Master, or so he would have thought had there been the two generations meant to separate them. Instead, he holds the sole attention of a wrinkly, old being who's as stubborn as he is nosy and it feels less a privilege and more a burden.

"Like with most grandparents, it's expected they spend time with you and often spoil you in ways our primary caregivers would frown at. I never met Dooku before he left the Order . . . my Master never explicitly forbade our interaction, but he certainly made no effort to introduce us. Nor me to the rest our lineage either."

There was plenty more to rant when it came to the late Qui-Gon Jinn, but Obi-Wan knew he wasn't the focal point of their discussion.

THE NEWLY MINTED CHANCELLOR’S visage visibly BRIGHTENED, her weary eyes alight with a rare flicker of much needed HOPE. Even with Count Dooku’s unexpected redemption through returning to the Jedi Order, the demise of Darth Sidious, and the subsequent end of the Clone Wars, genuine hope was still a tragically DIFFICULT commodity to come by these days.

⠀ “You … you really think so?” Her voice was soft as she spoke, yet interwoven with UNCERTAINTY nonetheless.
