“Looking for a good time, sir?” The Twi’lek, limbs and tails artfully painted, pressed the length of her body against Obi-Wan’s.

“Not tonight, my dear.” Obi-Wan touched gentle fingertips to her cheek and slipped out of the cantina into the cold night air, making for the sloping hills.

There were nights when temptation beckoned, when the touch of another warm body would have comforted his vast loneliness. He lay in his solitary bed, waiting for sleep to claim him. At times, he dreamed of Qui-Gon trailing kisses down his spine, on his mouth.

For now, it would have to do.


End.

I love the gentleness in this, in the way Obi-Wan turns her down, and how that rolls into his loneliness, and how that, too, feels gentle and...and almost faded, as if it has been there so long the sharpness of it has died down so it's simply a constant state. Which, well, makes it all the more mournful, I suppose.

Thank you so much. I was thinking that it was maybe ten or so years along in his exile, so he would be used to the solitude, but maybe not completely comfortable with it. So your assessment is about perfect, I think. Thank you for your lovely comment.
