Moving at a swift jog, Obi-wan weaved in and out of cover. Fire descended from on high, and while most of them never reached the surface, the ones that did were dangerous. He was still looking for wires to cut, having come from the desert of Cotes ward to get here. The blinking indicator on his map showed he was getting close to one of the holes.

Boom!

A ball of flame the size of a speeder slammed into a building just up the street. The shockwave shook the area and the building began to crumble. Large chunks of flaming debris came crashing towards the street. There was someone underneath the structure, already moving out of the way, but with how fast it was crumbling, they wouldn’t be out in time.

Obi-wan didn’t need to weigh his options, sprinting forward towards the catastrophe and throwing both hands out in front of him. The debris was flung into the front of another building, the change of course slowing it enough so it didn’t cause nearly as much harm as the original impact and the second structure remained standing.

With relief, he straightened his posture, pushing hair that had fallen into his face back. He eyed the remains of the flaming building as he approached the person who had very nearly become smoldering mush. ❝ That was a close call. Are you al-- ❞

Halted mid-sentence, Obi-wan now clearly saw who it was who was also out here in such dangerous conditions. While he was surprised to see her at all, he couldn’t say he was surprised that this was the kind of place he would find her. There’s a tension, accompanied by the sound of something smaller crumbling behind them. Not nearly the tension he’d met her with years before, considering everything that had happened--was happening...

“No…please…”

Steven had gone where no one would find him. He hadn’t even realized before that the wooded areas of the city went this deep. Nature completely untouched by the many magics that ruled this strange place. Steven had passed Lapis’ forest hideout a while back, he remembered passing her painted leaves drying out on a rock.

Yet, no matter how far he went, he knew the city was only a good and powerful few jumps in any direction. He could feel the faint rumble of cars in his feet. Still, it would have to do. So he trained.

The power they put in him. The one he had sealed away upon arriving. If it was going to come out, he knew being far away from anyone was the only answer.

“Hmm…”

Steven closed his eyes and focused, pulling out that building anger with little effort. The facet of pink energy floated in front of him, and with a push, Steven sent it out. It dissipated a ways away. As did the next, and next.

As Steven glowed brighter, he burned stronger. But controlling it was not what was happening. The slightest touch of his hand to the facets sent them barreling forward. Steven was scared, backing away and holding his arms over his gem.

That was enough training, it was out of hand, he wanted it to stop.

The crack was deafening. Steven’s eyes snapped open in shock. His glow fading as he ran over to the tree, its trunk severed by his diamond wall.

“Oh no.” Trees were alive. Steven began to cry. “I—I’m sorry, I’ll fix—“

Steven pressed a kissed palm to the stump, and the tree regrew. But the toppled original portion remained. The leaves on the branches granted a slow death as they realize the trunk was no longer attached to roots.

He was so…tired now. The tears still pouring drained his remaining energy, and Steven slumped over the trunk, sobbing.

It was just all too… familiar. Like something he’d seen in a dream.

“It’s not enough!” 

afternoon is also the time for tea. 

‹ come in, ›  he says lightly,  not expecting a visitor but not minding one either.  

when he glances up and is greeted with anakin’s padawan,  he smiles.  she has quickly proven herself to be an even match for skywalker’s brash approach to life in general.  they were so alike,  sometimes. 

Welcome back to the radiant Isola Radiale, Ahsoka!

You'll be housed in HOUSE 126. You'll be given everything you had during your previous stay.

PLEASE NOTE: Because you were removed in an activity check, you have one week to make two in-character posts or else you will be considered inactive once more.

Welcome back!

             “  ... I DIDN’T THINK there were any jedi left.  ” she murmured unto her company somberly, without forethought. it was a rather tough subject to broach, especially for a mere apprentice such as herself--- she hadn’t the right to count herself among them just yet.

        perhaps this wasn’t the time nor place to talk about it, and so rey quickly scanned their surroundings, the patchwork of downed stormtroopers littering the ground around them not withstanding, before gesturing down the street. 

             “  i saw survivors--- down there, holed up in a storefront. i’ve been trying to get to them.  ” that was before she was interrupted, but the pair had seen to that problem immediately. reaffirming her gaze upon the other, a determination burned in her own, “  there’ll be more, and i may need your help again.  ”

Extended for you!

‹ 𝐀𝐇𝐒𝐎𝐊𝐀,  you’re saying this as if i have any idea where anakin is half the time. ›

weariness draws sandy brows together ;  the jedi master is concerned,  though he knows he shouldn’t be.  anakin is most likely off doing something utterly ridiculous  ( and probably dangerous )  that obi-wan will have to hear about later. 

‹ did you need him for anything ?  i’ll help you look,  for all it’s worth . ›

there is,  beneath the vague worry,  a touch of humour  —  an eased dry wit so signature of general kenobi.  that gentle half - a - smile hidden in his beard.  a gentle,  fleeting pat to ahsoka’s shoulder. 

Your semi will be noted!
