[forcemaster]

I wanted to check how you were fairing after all the business with the spirits?

[He's trying to act very nonchalant here. Just a check-in. Nothing to see here]

[foralways]

Harrowing events are not exactly new, though I am glad it seems to be over for now.

[Obi-wan is not the only one that can play nonchalant.]

And yourself?

[forcemaster]

No, I suppose they aren't usual for us.

I'm fine now. I did get possessed for a short time. It was very embarrassing, I made quite the fool of myself. I'm sure that you're very sorry you missed it.

[foralways]

Oh Obi...Are you sure you're all right? I managed to avoid most spirits so I can only chance a guess what being possessed by one was like.

Though I must ask, as I missed it, how much of a fool, exactly?

[forcemaster]

I'm sure. I was able to push the spirit out before it got up to too much trouble.

But it did get me very drunk. And it flirted with several people.

[Padmé included.]

[foralways]

Flirting, really?

That must have been a sight to see. Hopefully you didn't get into too much trouble.

[Considering the ways they blundered around one another, she can only guess how that went.]

[forcemaster]

Really. [He's not above flirting, but it wasn't usually so overt as the spirit had done. His was usually harmless banter without intent.

In most cases. Unlike the way he's with her, where all their history brought on much more meaning that made it less easy and certainly not harmless.]

I will have you know that I did receive compliments on my beard by another possessed individual. They seemed to enjoy it. [Along with his lap...] I do remember you saying once you weren't too sure about it.

[Speaking of awkward flirting.]

[foralways]

I do remember saying as much.

[And if this had been more than mere text, he would have been subject to a fond smile and the teasing lilt of her voice.]

I may have to change my opinion, it seems to have grown on me--and it does suit you.

[forcemaster]

[He does enjoy her smile. And the teasing, even if it flustered him more than any one else could ever manage.]

Yes, it grew on me too. [Obi-Wan. Purveyor of Dad Jokes.] I like it mainly because it gives me something to stroke enigmatically.

[foralways]

Of course. How else are you to be a pragmatic Jedi Knight, if not for the means to appear enigmatic.

[At least she is fond of the Dad Jokes and dry wit.] Though, I suppose where that fails there is always sarcasm and drama to fill the void.

[forcemaster]

Exactly. I'm so glad you understand!

[Excuse you, Satine.] Drama? [How dare.]

[foralways]

I've foudn you seem to have a flare for the dramatics, Obi. It keeps things interesting.

[forcemaster]

I'd hate to be boring, so I suppose that's something. I will say I don't think you're immune to dramatics yourself, Duchess...

[He's enjoying this banter, trying to avoid talking on any of the important matters. Like what's happened to her. And what's happened to him since. They'll get to that eventually, either on their own or with Hell's assistance, no doubt.]

[foralways]

Oh, I would never dare think you boring. Though I would still argue I am not as dramatic as you.

[And as fun as this is, she cannot help but bring them back down to--let's say Earth--with her next comment.]

I don't believe I am a duchess anymore, am I? Satine...is fine.

[forcemaster]

[Obi-Wan doesn't respond straight away. The comment and implications slapping him right back to reality.]

I suppose not.

Are you sure you're alright, Satine?

[She doesn't know the other losses he's suffered. What came after. He's not sure he's likely to tell her. Although this place had a way of bringing all of their pain out in the open.]
