[video; locked to: Anakin/Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Leia, Rey, Ava, Cassandra, and Wanda]

[The video post actually starts off with a kitten walking over the top of it, soft muffled talking with the heavy padding of paws over-foot for a moment, and then a "hey, hey, not right now." It's finally adjusted so Anakin can talk into the MID properly. He's still tired; those circles under his eyes aren't likely to go away any time soon, but it's countered with a small almost-smile. Not sad, not perfect, but present.]

Look, I know with everything the ship's been through in the last week, time is short and expensive. I'll try to keep this brief. With the recent mishandling of hostile situations on-board and with "relations" with our...host planets?

Obi-Wan, what would you even call them?

[As he's here and has ears and common sense, Kenobi is quick to take hold of Anakin's MID and address the network himself, although he's merely... correcting Anakin's word choices, anyway.]

Well, first, I wouldn't say it was mishandled. Nor would I call what came of that as relations. Otherwise, host planet seems just fine.

[Leave it to Kenobi to be pedantic. He smiles thinly into the camera and then disappears back off-screen for for the time being, leaving Skywalker to his pitch.

Anakin rolls his eyes as he takes the camera back.]

Anyway, we've both been thinking. All of you have, at some point or another, expressed pointed interest in what it is we do, and we think it's high time to take advantage of that.

[A pause as he carefully defers back to Obi-Wan. This is skirting new territory that he's not even sure how to press forward with, only that he can't do it alone.]

I think what Anakin is suggesting is that we make good use of our time here. There's no end in sight, so this is the perfect time to take stock in what we know and give credence to what we don't. In this case, the more the merrier.

[It's enough to cover the breadth of what they talked about, and therefore Kenobi feels satisfied in leaving the rest of this in Anakin's hand. Kitten now in tow, he disappears off-screen once more.]

I want to be clear that this isn't an obligation. [Not yet.] I'm--We are not asking you to give anything up, regardless of how the old Order did it. All I'm asking is that you want to help.

video; omg SORRY i thought i had already responded to this

[divagated]

You know you don't have to ask me twice. [She is ALL FOR THIS. Not that she hasn't had plenty of opportunities to keep her skills sharp, but there's nothing like an organized Jedi training secession.]

hush it's fine <3

[ex_forcechoke292]

I'd better not. I'll need some help, and you know how the elderly need their naps.

[ZING.]

<333

[jedimindtrick]

[ From somewhere behind, Obi-Wan's gesturing pointedly where only Ahsoka can see him. Anakin's clearly the elderly one here!! ]

Actually, Ahsoka, you'll be doing a great deal of the training, I think. I hope you've been keeping up your practice.

<3!!!

[divagated]

Training, teaching...whichever is fine by me. [She has to stifle a laugh at these two goofballs. It's hard to be serious about this when they're literally calling each other old men.]

And yes, Master Obi-Wan. I've been practicing. I didn't have to be here long to realize how bad it would be if I didn't.

[And she's glad, too. She would have been in a lot more trouble when she was stuck on the Caducan's ship if she had been out of practice.]

[ex_forcechoke292]

Hey! Whose Padawan are we talking to here? [He's going to firmly ignore the fact that they both know that title is moot off this ship. If he believes it enough, uses it enough, he doesn't have to accept a future that for Ahsoka is only just waiting to drop. He isn't sure what he can do to change that either, but he'll be damned if he doesn't try anyway.] I swear, the senility gets worse every day.

[He leans into the camera's view, putting on the pretense of privacy, knowing full well that Obi-Wan is still standing behind him.]

How do you feel about some one-on-one?

[divagated]

[She doesn't care if it's moot elsewhere, either. She's still his Padawan here and now, and that's what mattered to her. And honestly, after learning everything that transpired, she likes hearing him still use it.]

Is that a challenge? [so maybe she hasn't beaten him one-on-one yet but she's very determined to change that.]

[ex_forcechoke292]

Two years, Ahsoka, and you don't know a challenge when you hear one?

[Yes. It means yes. Despite everything that's happened, that might happen, this feels normal. He's never wanted this more.]

[divagated]

Can it, Skyguy. You're on. Unless you're afraid I'll beat you this time?

[It's a normalcy she's needed desperately too. Even after everything, it still feels right.]

[ex_forcechoke292]

Don't get cocky, Padawan. Save the lip for when you can back it up.

[You're on, kid.]

[divagated]

Cocky implies I think I'm better than I am. But I know what I'm capable of.

[SHE'S NOT SAVING THE LIP. Bring it on, old man.]
