Sunday Snippet:
Can't Change The Moment Snippet for you all. I'm determined to get this thing finished during my summer break. Time to get some discipline over my writing back so that I can get these stories down and done.
Obi-Wan sighs. "But the change is more obvious now. We are so in sync that Anakin cannot ignore what his senses and feelings are telling him. He is no longer my first concern, you are. And I never did manage to help him work through the causes of his jealousies and put them aside. It is, I think, a hold over from his childhood as a slave, one which Qui-Gon concealed from both the Council and me. Anakin's start in the Order might have been very different had we known about it." "Or it could have made no difference at all," Cody points out. "Or it could have made things worse for him. The point is, he's been a Jedi longer than he was a slave. Shouldn't he be past letting that define how he reacts to things?" "That isn't how trauma works," Obi-Wan replies softly. "You have been fighting this war longer than anyone knows, even me and very likely even including you. Are you telling me you do not react to things based on your experiences on Kamino anymore?" "That's different," Cody replies. "Kamino prepared me for war. The war we're both fighting. I'd have died a lot more if I didn't react to things the way I was trained." "And after?" Obi-Wan says, pressing a warm hand to Cody's cheek. "Dearest, do you think you could simply set aside all of your training for war to live in a time of peace?"
