Los disclamiers son en la empieza ---------------------------------- You awoke sometime the next morning, your back settled snugly into the cradle of Kenobi's hips. Sighing almost imperceptibly, you wiggled back further into his hips, prompting him to throw his arms around you. It was cold, colder than you ever could have imagined being. When you were a child, you lived on Yavin V, a tropical planet well known for its sweltering temperatures. And then there was Neva. It was so cold, you could practically carve ice sculptures out of your breath. Kenobi's lips alighted on the back of your neck then, and you jumped involuntarily. Apparently, your motion woke him from a deep sleep. He yawned softly and you turned in his arms, just in time to see his oceanic eyes open. Ok, so you could easily drown in his eyes. You weren't going to fall for him. "We've got to get up, Love. We have to make sure all the windows are sealed...look, that one was blown out by the storm." He points to the window the two of you stood at the night before, and a large crack running along the center of the pane. "We also have to ensure that we have enough kerosene to run those lamps. As it is, no more reading for you. We can't afford to waste what light we have on something so frivolous...see if you can't get a little light through the windows." Kenobi pulled you up from the "bed" and it was then that you realized the full extent of your frostbite. You could feel your toes loud and clear now, and they were definitely letting you know that they weren't pleased with your snowcapades yesterday. "Gods, my feet. I've never had frostbite before, and it bites the big one. Next time I do something for the Republic, I want it to be somewhere warm. Like Tatooine." At your mention of the desert planet, Obi-Wan makes a face that you would have KILLED to have gotten on holofilm. "Well you definitely don't want to be stuck on Tatooine for any extended period of time. I had the extreme misfortune of being marrooned on that planet during the Trade Federation crisis on Naboo. Imagine being stuck on a desert planet, cooped up inside a ship with three women who are ALL on their monthly cycles. I did nothing but fetch chocolate and listen to a running commentary on who had the most cellulite on her thighs the entire time I was there." You laugh at that, trying to envision a young, padawan Kenobi surrounded by a gaggle of hormonal women. "Well, that doesn't sound like it was very fun. Sad, I always thought you'd got the better end of the deal, a buffet like that." It takes Kenobi a while to get your joke, but soon a light breaks through the clouds in his eyes and he throws his head back, laughing heartily. "It wasn't all it could have been. For one, Her Royal Highness was only fourteen years old. I'd have been disowned had I engaged in anything extracurricular with HER." This time, it was your turn to laugh. You laughed and laughed, imagining Queen Amidala of Naboo in a naughty schoolgirl uniform. "Don't tell me you're into that whole Ney It'brepars thing..I can arrange a singing telegram and a little more..." You nudge Kenobi's elbow as if you were a Corellian pilot with a little too much Whyren's in him. Ah yes, Whyren's. The cure for everything ailing a man when he's in trouble with his woman. ------------- TBC
