THE SNIPPET OF FOOLPROOF FOOLHARDY OMGGGG i cannot wait for the next chapter, you always get me on the edge of my seat😁
have the bit immediately following that snippet and then have no more until it's finished and posted ;)
“Don’t wake him,” Vos says, something strange in his tone. Anakin’s Force signature rears up around them, a pang of anger striking through his mind, so narrowed and focused that Obi-Wan, without a bond tying him to Anakin, can pick up on it. “He hasn’t been sleeping so easily lately.”
This is both a lie and the truth. Obi-Wan hasn’t been sleeping well lately, too worried about Master Skywalker and Ahsoka and the bet and his padawanship.
But the way Vos says it makes it sound as if he knows intimately well how Obi-Wan has been sleeping.
“I have warned him before about your…dalliance. The need you should feel to keep it close to chest.” Master Skywalker’s voice is laden with scorn, and it makes Obi-Wan want to squirm. Anakin is disappointed in him.
“Hm,” Quinlan replies, and his hand stills against Obi-Wan’s head. “Do you want to know what I wonder?”
“No,” Master Skywalker says immediately as if he doesn’t even have to think about it. It gets the lightest of snorts from Quin, who has always seemed to respect it when people give him their honest opinions of him, regardless of how rudely they’re delivered.
“I’ve wondered,” Quin continues doggedly, because he also doesn’t need a willing partner to engage with him in order to have a conversation, “why a Jedi Master feels the need to involve himself so utterly and authoritatively in a padawan’s love life. Especially considering that the padawan in question isn’t even his own.”
