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."

And he would indeed have come down on the other side of her, if she hadn't pulled up a whirling vortex of purple energy, Obi-Wan's very own personal, tiny, tornado!
It won't hurt him, but he might get extremely dizzy if he doesn't get out of there quick.
no subject
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.
no subject
She obliges by charging at him, swinging both sabers, one high the other low. With two blades, she can press him at different angles at once.
no subject
"I've never seen that technique before," he says. "So we're even."
no subject
She intentionally lets Obi-Wan's next strike knock one of her sabers out of her hands, the blue one. The momentum sends it bouncing off the ground and rolling behind him.
She strikes quickly with the violet saber, then reaches out with the Force to turn the saber back on and pulls it back toward herself, blade first, aiming to hit Obi-Wan in the back with it.
no subject
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.
no subject
She moves into a spinning leap, a whirling blur headed down toward him from the sky.
no subject
no subject
They spin around one another, sabers twirling, and Ibani reaches out with a foot to try and pull him in close. Previous Force users she's fought never seem to expect her to try and get in close and grapple...
no subject
He grins brightly and swings his saber low, on the off chance she's sent herselgff off balance with that move.
no subject
Ibani's grin brightens, despite the sting of the blow, and she decides to try the less physical side.
She swings both sabers at him, but the real attack is a delicate reach with the Force, just enough pressure to flip the power switch on his lightsaber.
no subject
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.
no subject
She meets his speed with her own, and there is a fierce joy in the Force as they spar.
This time she turns her own saber off as Obi-Wan blocks, hoping to get the lightsaber past his guard.
no subject
He has to roll, again, and spin around to resume the attack
"So full of tricks," he observes.
no subject
Ibani blocks his next set of attacks, then switches to wielding her lightsabers with the Force.
The advantage with wielding them this way is that she's not limited to the angles that her body could handle, she can even attack him from the front and from behind at the same time. Plus, of course, her body is free to deal with any openings Obi-Wan might leave in his defenses.
no subject
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.
no subject
She's stronger and denser than she looks, having spent the entirety of her adolescence on Korriban, which has a gravity of 1.4 instead of 1.
no subject
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.
no subject
She hasn't entirely let go of his torso yet when she calls another whirlwind of power, this one big enough for both of them!
no subject
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!
no subject
Ibani's purple lightsaber spirals up the vortex to hover over their heads while they spin.
no subject
"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.
no subject
Her hands move up his back, an embrace as opposed to a grapple. She moves her face close to his, close enough to kiss, and her Force presence warms, curls around him like a purring cat.
"Would you like me to make your head spin for a different reason?" she offers, voice low.
no subject
"Anything that doesn't involve you dropping that lightsaber on my head."
no subject
Then she leans in to kiss him, warm and gentle. The whirlwind dies, but her reach with the Force holds them both suspended in the air for the moment, lowers them oh so gently to the ground.
If he decides to take that opportunity to say, stab her, well there's always a risk when you're pursuing any reward, isn't there?
