[That actually drew a bit of a smile from Obi-Wan as he thought back on that memory.]

That was a long time ago.

[He then looked at that cake again a bit sheepishly.]

I don't know what to say.

[sithkabobed]

[Qui-Gon matches Obi-Wan's smile with his own and gestures to a chair.]

Take a seat while you think of something.

I'll fetch us some plates.

[hadthehighground]

All right.

[And still smiling, he sits himself down and stares at the cake. When was the last time he had actually eaten one of these? Oh wait...]

I think the last time I had cake was at Dex's. He was still in business last I knew.

[Qui-Gon can't help but chuckle at the memory of the Basilisk. He had fond memories of Dex, compounded by the nostalgia of that old diner from Didi's days of owning it.]

[He starts to set the plates and silverware on the table as he speaks:]

Good for him. I'm glad to hear he's doing well.

[And that would be Obi-Wan getting the first slice. It's the polite thing to do, what with it being his birthday and all.]

[Qui-Gon lowers himself into a seat before speaking up again, this time poking juuuust a bit of fun at the cooking at Dex's. Not that he could do any better, in fact, Qui-Gon's cooking was notoriously worse than anything experienced in all the galaxy, but still.]

I hope you survived the encounter relatively unscathed.

[hadthehighground]

[Obi-Wan chuckled and took the plate with his slice of cake gratefully.]

Yes, well, Dex is a good friend and I have to try to be polite.

[He then took a bite of cake, nodding a bit as he decided he liked it.]

Besides, I did like to indulge in nostalgia now and then. Dex would often sneak me a piece when you weren't looking.

[sithkabobed]

You assumed I wasn't looking.

[That sure is a knowing glance as Qui-Gon cuts and serves himself some cake.]

[But it's one that's also accompanied with a smile.]

[hadthehighground]

[Obi-Wan nearly choked on a piece of cake as he started to laugh.]

You knew? I suppose I shouldn't be surprised.

[sithkabobed]

You weren't always the best at being subtle, Obi-Wan.

[Qui-Gon chews thoughtfully and with far more grace while he considers his next words.]

You have gotten better at it, thankfully.

[hadthehighground]

[Obi-Wan cleared his throat and managed to get his food down the right pipe this time.]

I would certainly hope so. Anakin, however, is even worse at it than I ever was.

[sithkabobed]

For some reason, that doesn't surprise me.

[He takes another bite, completely serene even with his gentle jabs at their young colleague.]

I'm sure it's gotten you both into quite a bit of trouble over the years.
