Eagerly? Well then, far be it from me to keep you waiting too long.
[He departs shortly after that. It takes him a bit to get there as he has to go from the Down to the Up. But eventually he will be at her door. Looking much the same as the last time she saw him.]
[One thing that she might notice that’s different is the fact that he’s wearing a collar. A simple black band with a metal loop and a crystal dangling from it. The stone glinting in the light as he steps in.]
Thank you, this is certainly a nice place you have.
[Its easy to see he accidentally hit a sore spot with that question.]
I see. I’m sorry to hear that.
[The topic seems to pass on quickly though as he’s promised a beautiful view. A smile coming to his face before he nods politely]
Yes, I would like that, thank you.
[Taking off his cloak, he set it aside wherever it seemed appropriate and took a walk around. Though he didn’t go far. It’s certainly a big house and he hasn’t had much opportunity to see private houses in the Up.]
It's okay. That was some months ago already, and things are looking up now. I'd be happy to tell you more if you'd like. Hope I didn't sound too stand-offish just now.
[The feelings were a hard thing to shake off. Falling for a Dominant in an unpredictable place like this definitely had its risks.
She pours some sweet cider into each glass, handing one to her guest with a smile.]
For now. Alfred might move in here at some point. He made it a point in our contract that I should keep the house and continue living here.
I feel like we should keep it a secret... The higher-ups might not like a Submissive living apart from her Dominant temporarily, even if it is in writing.
[Obi-Wan seems like a trustworthy man, so it's easy being open with him.]
[He knew quite well that no one here is guaranteed another day. People tended to come and go. Jyn could disappear at any time. And well... he was used to people disappearing from his life.]
That’s a reasonable concern, though I have heard of dominants and their submissives living separately. Granted that was in the Down.
[A submissive owning property in the Up though? That could be more problematic. He certainly wouldn’t say anything though. But now she’s wanting to hear about him.]
Well, my dominant and I have moved into the Down since we last met. And we have made our contract permanent.
[Obi-Wan felt lucky that he had people here that he cared for deeply. He couldn’t imagine what it would be like if he didn’t have Anakin, Jyn, and now Padme. Which caused him to have compassion for Mona all the more.
So he took a sip as well and held the glass in his hands as he considered her words.]
As am I. It’s a nice change of pace. I admit I haven’t taken much time to make friends here.
[For her, Alfred had become someone truly special. He pulled her out of the rough spot and awakened her spark again. And he gave her the push to go out and start meeting people again, Obi-Wan being one of them.]
I've just recently gotten back into it, so we're in the same boat here.
[She laughs softly, leading him to take a seat where they could admire the view.]
[Jyn was that way with him. They may come from the same galaxy, but they would never cross paths in their lifetimes. But here, she meant more to him than he could express.
Following her lead, Obi-Wan sat down as well and looked out at the scenery. A smile coming to his face.]
Breathtaking.
[He says this while looking back to her.]
And I don't mean just the view.
[She's a lovely woman in her own right. But Obi-Wan is charmed that she was going out of her way just to get to know him. So few people seemed to do that here.]
[Just like her and Alfred. Back home, they wouldn't cross paths either. He lived in a different world but she had heard stories of him and his protégé. Meeting him here was truly a lucky surprise.
She can't help but smile a bit shyly at his comment.]
Well... I can easily say the same.
[He's quite the handsome man, and she's always been weak for blue eyes. She's glad he wanted to get to know her, too.]
Oh is that all? Well there are species that shape shift in my galaxy, though the only flying heroes are ones in ships or on the backs of animals.
[He would gladly show her around his galaxy if he could. Though at his point in time it wasn’t exactly safe for him to do so even if they did have that chance.]
no subject
I’m doing quite well, actually. And yourself?
no subject
I'm glad to hear that. Me? Better than I've been in a long time.
no subject
Considering I’m staying with my dominant in her warehouse until things blow over, your place might be better than mine.
no subject
I'll get some refreshments ready.
no subject
no subject
I'll be waiting eagerly.

no subject
Hey, good to see you again. Come in.
[She steps aside to let him in.]
Welcome to the Kent house.
no subject
Thank you, this is certainly a nice place you have.
[He says this as he looks around.]
I’m assuming that’s the name of your dominant?
no subject
Oh, it was. He vanished one day and left the house in my name. Alfred's taken me under his wing now.
Wait until you see the view, Obi-Wan. It's breathtaking.
[Mona heads to the kitchen, placing some glasses on the counter.]
Can I get you a drink?
no subject
I see. I’m sorry to hear that.
[The topic seems to pass on quickly though as he’s promised a beautiful view. A smile coming to his face before he nods politely]
Yes, I would like that, thank you.
[Taking off his cloak, he set it aside wherever it seemed appropriate and took a walk around. Though he didn’t go far. It’s certainly a big house and he hasn’t had much opportunity to see private houses in the Up.]
So is it just you who lives here?

no subject
Yeah... I haven't heard of anyone doing this in the Up. Maybe it'll be okay.
[She raised her glass at him with a small smile.]
Here's to permanent contracts. And other good things.
no subject
[Coming over to pick up his own glass, Obi-Wan smiled and raised it along with her.]
Yes, and to any happiness one can find in this place.
[This Jedi will definitely drink to all of that.]
no subject
[She took a long sip, smiling wider as she put the glass down.]
I'm glad we could meet like this. Talking and getting to know one another.
no subject
So he took a sip as well and held the glass in his hands as he considered her words.]
As am I. It’s a nice change of pace. I admit I haven’t taken much time to make friends here.

[He's quite the handsome man, and she's always been weak for blue eyes. She's glad he wanted to get to know her, too.]
no subject
And yet here we are, both recluses in our own right and trying to get to know people.
[It was a bit ironic.]
Granted where I’m from looks don’t mean much.
no subject
Indeed. What a pair we make.
[She laughs softly.]
I've been eager to know more about where you come from.
no subject
[It was strange to him that most people didn’t have that where they came from!]
no subject
[She would love to go up there one day. To see the vast galaxy.]
no subject
Oh is that all? Well there are species that shape shift in my galaxy, though the only flying heroes are ones in ships or on the backs of animals.
[He would gladly show her around his galaxy if he could. Though at his point in time it wasn’t exactly safe for him to do so even if they did have that chance.]
