“He looked at Cody out of the corners of his eyes like a massif caught eating something he shouldn’t have been.”
The mental image of this is so funny and so sad all at once. Poor obi-wan, chronic conditions will get you like that sometimes.
“Perhaps a thicker pair of gauntlets for direct engagements, or a pair of brass knuckles,” he continued. “I’m sure it wouldn’t take much to requisition something that will do the trick.” Obi-Wan finished smearing more bacta over the back of Cody’s hand—gel this time, for more localized healing—and Cody flexed his fingers. He could hardly feel the burn of the scabs over his knuckles splitting and cracking open. Obi-Wan had scars to match his over his own knuckles, though his scar tissue was silvery-white to Cody’s red-pink.”
I need to pull this whole paragraph because AHHH I’m having feelings about all of it. Cody should have brass knuckles! He deserves all the tools that his general can give to keep himself and his troops as safe and successful as possible! It’s such a lovely detail that the bacta gel is for localized healing- versus the spray for the burn. Just such a nice worldbuilding note you worked in there. And of course the difference in their scars, old and new but still matching just the same!
“Like the dawn rising, Obi-Wan was helpless to stop a smile from stealing over his face.”
aughhhh thank you for this lovely comment!! i'm so glad u enjoyed ❣️ the mental image of obi-wan as guilty (insert creature) gets me every time. it's true.
