Fox and Ahsoka for #98- “You’re actually a big softie, aren’t you?”
*
The clock on Ahsoka’s bedside table reads 02:09.
Nighttime on the Coruscant Guard’s ship is much quieter than she’s used to it being on the Resolute. It makes sense, since it’s a smaller ship, and there are less people on it, but the quiet still puts her on edge. In her experience, quiet is rarely a good thing
Barriss would disagree with that, but Barriss also reads ancient texts on Force philosophy in her free time, and eats space waffles without cooking them, so Ahsoka is inclined to disregard her opinion here.
The clock on Ahsoka’s bedside table has progressed to read 02:10.
The Guard’s ship is also quieter than the Temple, but in a less tangible way for anyone who is not Force-sensitive. While the Temple tends to be quiet and peaceful, the Force is always very alive in it. There’s a feeling of home that comes with all those strong Force signatures, and it’s an eternal reminder that she’s not alone. That as a Jedi, she’ll never have to truly be alone in the galaxy.
The clock on Ahsoka’s bedside table now reads 02:11.
Her attempts to go to sleep and the ever present quiet aren’t mixing in a way that’s conducive to her getting any shuteye. The briefing ended hours ago. She’s still awake.
The clock on Ahsoka’s bedside table still reads 02:11.
Ahsoka groans, buries her face into her pillow, and lets out a muffled scream.
Keep reading
