AU: Not Milliways continuity -Obi-Wan Kenobi -aiming for angst free for once, damn it!?

Ibani has a mounting headache. Stupid Sith scholars of the past and their need to be damnably clever.

Oh, the LITERAL translation is clear enough, the word is blood, but given the time and cultural context, that has AT LEAST 12 different possible meanings.

"If you weren't already several centuries dead, I'd smack you for being insufferably vague," she mutters at the book as she closes it.

"I need a drink."

Obi-Wan shouts in surprise, but after a second's spin he thrusts his lightsaber out horizontally to counter the tornado, force it to slow down, using only a working knowledge of angular momentum.

He then pushes himself out at the same horizontal angle, which if nothing else reduces the potential dizziness - he hits the ground on a roll and elaps to his feet, lightsaber in front of him.

Let her come to him then.

Obi-Wan's never learned Jar'Kai, but he's sparred against people using it and similar dual-saber techniques many times. The trick, he's found, is to let both angles converge, get out and bring his lightsaber to the point at which he can meet both at different places on his own blade, using both hands to get the extra strength to make up for only have the one.

"I've never seen that technique before," he says. "So we're even."

He's not so preoccupied with countering her violet blade that he doesn't sense that coming. Again, Obi-Wan leaps up into a backflip that times it perfectly to leap over the lightsaber and land the other side.

He reaches out with the Force as he does so, ending up in a quick tug of war with her over the lightsaber.

She wins, but for a second there he gives it something.

Obi-Wan grins at her for the moment that he can see her face before the blur starts. He steps back for a second, and then leaps in to meet her, hoping at least that his own speed and reflexes will at least keep her from doing too much damage to him, even if he can't get an advantage that way.

But Obi-Wan's right at home with the physical part of a lightsaber fight! He doesn't jump her foot this time, but the the grapple doesn't quite go as planned when instead of tripping he flips backwards on to his free hand and lands a meter away.

He grins brightly and swings his saber low, on the off chance she's sent herselgff off balance with that move.

It nearly works! Obi-Wan brings his saber up for what would be a perfect block, but notices his saber is off just in time, and leaps back with nanoseconds to spare, Ibani's blades passing within an hair's breadth of his body.

He inhales quickly, impressed, and has his lightsaber on in an instant.

He races at her, assuming that with enouigh speed he can keep her distracted enough to prevent any more tricks like that.

Again, he catches it just a little later than is really safe, and manages to catch a lightsaber to an arm that is already moving away, so the bow is painful, but still wouldn't have been disabling on full power.

He has to roll, again, and spin around to resume the attack

"So full of tricks," he observes.
acertainpov: (Padawan ??)

What the hell, Ibani?

Obi-Wan is only able to express his surprise with a sharp look at her, before he's a bit preoccupied countering both lightsabers. Although as he does so he reaches into the Force and...

...one of the lightsabers starts slowing down considerably.

She barrels into Obi-Wan just as he's grabbed hold and control of the hilt off the blue lightsaber. Which would be more of a victory except he's now knocked to the ground and has no use of either.

Hands out uselessly to his side, he rocks onto his shoulders to tuck his legs up under her, and kick upwards as hard as he can, just to get her free of him.

He raises his eyebrows again at her.

And switches off the lightsabers in his hand, wraps his hands around her back, and pulls her in.

If he's getting dizzy, she can too!

Obi-Wan keeps his eyes on hers.

"I believe you were the one throwing herself at me?"

His hands move up her back, his arms tucked against her side, his face inclined to hers.

Obi-Wan breathes slowly, keeping his eyes entirely on hers, feeling her breath on his face as he smiles slowly.

"Anything that doesn't involve you dropping that lightsaber on my head."
