Mediation, Meditation, Inspiration for Itineration [Open]
Obi-Wan had done as he ought, he'd done what he could and then retired from the field. Too many hands for that pot, and not a one of them with as little sense. Still he was weary from his injury and his healing, and after a strange dream-addled sleep, what was needed most was perspective. The church was crowded, the city was an uncertain mess, and there was little enough peace to be had in the barracks— the Jedi had retired to the oft-praised sensoriums to look for a place of quiet. And he'd found in his choice of setting nothing less than what was unmistakably a Jedi Temple.
Oh, it wasn't the Temple, but the architectural style, the general layout were similar, all rounded, organics shapes an living stone. It resonated with him and so he found a cushion and a comfortable, bright lace where little but warm moist breezes and quiet birdsong reached him and began the quiet, measured breaths that were a prelude to the less combat-oriented meditation styles. Comforting quite, peacegiving pulse of the living Force in his very veins...if introspection were not so disquieting, they would have given greater balance. Obi-Wan sighed and began again. Anakin and Luke would know where to find him, when they were ready— and at least one of them deserved the lecture he'd be getting, and knew it.

Obi-Wan rubbed a hand over his face. For goodness sake, he was tired. Ben wasn't a young man anymore, and all this emotional turmoil was bound to give him an ulcer, if Anakin hadn't already. He sighed and turned to face his former padawan, "Listen to us! Both trying to take the blame for something that's not so bad as all that. No one is going to die! Even if I wanted to, I couldn't keep this secret, next time I report to the council, Master Yoda would sense it in me no matter what I tried. Anakin, they're not going to stick you out on Dantooine or somewhere and hope it goes away. You married her? You weren't just..."
Obi-Wan trailed off. He didn't know how he'd intended to finish that. He simply wanted to know that it was the truth of it, and not something said in heat to hurt or shock him.

"Remember the battle at Geonosis? It was..." He trailed off for a moment before another sigh escaped. Taking a deep breath he finally continued. "Shortly after, when I got my replacement arm. We were married in a secret ceremony."
He stepped forward and bought himself closer to Obi-Wan. "You have to understand. I trust you with my life, but there are some secrets that I could tell no one. You are truly my closest friend and teacher, Master. But even the one other I have confided in does not know about this."
He stepped around Obi-Wan for a moment to look off into the distance.
"You have to understand... she is my life."

He let that sit, and smiled wanly at it, and at Anakin. Sometimes it was easy to forget just how young he was, to harbor such melodrama that he could stare without irony off into the middle-distance like some poorly written holovid, "Never mind, I understand what you mean. No matter what happens when we return, for now you are a Jedi, and so am I. Let's not have a repeat of yesterday, shall we?"

He sighed and moved back around so that he was facing Obi-wan once more. His mood seemed to be lifted though.
"I hope I didn't prove to be too much of a distraction. I know how you enjoy your meditation." He smiled at Obi-Wan. Maybe things could get back to normal now.
