“ and do you believe it to be true? ” obi - wan averts his gaze as she slips into the water, pretending that he finds the glinting crystals absolutely fascinating. he should not be here, alone, in this cave with her. his mandate had been to accompany her as a guardian, a protector, not… whatever this is. he cannot help but look back at her at least briefly, warmth spreading in his chest despite his best efforts to remind himself of the code. he pushes aside the urge to draw a few steps nearer and instead takes one back, away from temptation. “ that these waters can cure any ailment. ”
“ WHETHER I BELIEVE IT TO BE TRUE or not does not matter. ” spoken softly, submerging herself into the water until it reaches her chin, for his sake more than her own. hair spills out from the loose braid she had kept it into, spreading like ink across the pond’s surface. “ you are, after all, the expert in all things magic, are you not ?? ” swimming to the edge nearest to him, his momentary distraction proves fruitful when she splashes at him, not even trying to look contrite. “ come. join me. i promise nothing will bite you. ”
