[Anakin had insisted that Ezra leave most of the prep to him, since the whole thing was Anakin's idea. So Ezra just...tries to stay busy with his usual daily tasks when Anakin shows up at the house to do set up, rather than hover or fidget. At some point he pokes his head into the kitchen, anyway, just to check Anakin couldn't use another pair of hands.

He ends up staring around at the variety of food. He's helped feed literal small armies before; everyone that could do, had to pitch in, sometimes, in Rebel Alliance bases. Still, he's far more used to the menu being one or two dishes in large quantities, and often including some sort of highly processed protein.]


Wow. You really went all out.

[Usagi sipped her tea as she looked at all the people here and smiled, glad to know everyone was here for Obi-Wan. She recognized a lot of faces, there were also some she had no clue who they were. She knew she was in the middle of a whoooole bunch of Light Side Force users, to be sure. Usagi was currently eyeing all the food and made a noise trying to figure out where to start.]

It all looks so good... Wonder if I can take some home later... [She should seriously start bringing Tupperware to these things.] What would you start with?

[ he's not sure if he's completely up for this. he's hardly the life of the party and it is still a daily struggle to commit to the motions of life and living. but he must, he must, and this is a gesture of warmth. obi-wan doesn't feel so cold that he cannot respond in kind.

he must, he must. ]


This is quite the spread.

Hah, only because if we ever do this again, you've set the bar high! [He shakes his head.]

Don't mind me, I'm not the right person to ask about standards, food wise, probably. It all looks great.

[ He had been told very specifically that bringing food wasn't going to be necessary. Anyone that knew Luke at all already knew how he was going to respond to that: bring all the food he could reasonably make. It was why his knock was accompanied by a faint cry for help as Luke shifted the weight of the food he was carrying: a noodle casserole dish, some fresh, generously seasoned vegetables, and a fruit pie for extra dessert. ]

[ ...he couldn't help himself, okay? ]

[personal profile] ezra_of_lothal 2022-06-16 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Of course Ezra comes to the door; he sure isn't making Obi-wan do it, and Anakin has been pretty busy.

He takes in Luke trying to balance a stack of dishes with amusement and reaches for the top of the pile.]


Telekinesis on the fritz?

For Obi-wan

[personal profile] ezra_of_lothal 2022-06-17 11:20 am (UTC)(link)
[After Anakin arrives to set up, but before the others arrive, Ezra tracks down Obi-wan. He'd told Anakin he thought this was probably a good idea but...now he's hoping he wasn't wrong.]

Look. [He plunges on through his frisson of nerves at raising this thought and getting this blunt, to try to catch Obi-wan's gaze.]

If this gets to be too much, at any point, for any reason, don't worry about upsetting people, ok? Just do what you need to do. Anakin and I will deal with apologies and wrapping things up.

[ he blinks, somewhat startled, before his expression turns wry. ]

Have I worried you all that much?
ezra_of_lothal: (half smirk by malagraphic)

[personal profile] ezra_of_lothal 2022-06-17 11:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Well. That response doesn't read as outright mortification or panic. So, he guesses he can count that as a win?

He gives Obi-wan a tiny smile.]


Eh. Anakin did ask me if I thought this was a good idea. [Which sure is one way of summarizing a conversation that involved crying and sympathy tea.]

Take it as a sign we love you that much.
jedies: (You cannot touch the shadow)

[personal profile] jedies 2022-06-17 11:44 am (UTC)(link)
It seems I must.

[ he gives a slow nod. ]

All right. I'll keep that in mind.

[personal profile] ezra_of_lothal 2022-06-17 11:58 am (UTC)(link)
[His smile gets bigger and he relaxes a little more. Point made and message received in the spirit intended, he thinks.

He reaches out to squeeze Obi-wan's arm gently before turning to leave Obi-wan be.]

[He finds that his gaze wanders as it is wont to do here. He likes to see what people have done. He has started out smaller for himself. A building that will suit his needs without extending his abilities. Anakin the younger does seem to have put a large effort into the evening. Obi-Wan has made an impression, no doubt.

He is unfamiliar with the blonde. It does not stop the smile by way of greeting.]


Unless he is planning to hold us hostage until it is all gone, I do not doubt he would be grateful for that.

[It had been a cursory look around Cassandra that Bail had given. There had been many choices of where to reside and he had weighed them. Now he looks at the reside before him and knows that his own has a long way to go.

He had brought some dessert items. Not handmade thankfully. He knows better than to attempt anything like that. Arriving with Padmé, he lets Anakin take his own offering. Bail does pause, looking around, before entering deeper trailing after the young man.]


You can take a moment to breath. [Warmth in his voice.] Need you a hand with anything?
simplegestures: (pic#15714805)

[personal profile] simplegestures 2022-06-19 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
It is.

[As he comes up next to Obi-Wan. Not only in food though. No, there is a variety of people as well. Some Bail knows well, some he has a passing knowledge from here, and others he has not met at all.

He takes a sip from his drink. Eyes forward. Roaming over those present. Yet aware of Obi-Wan from the corner of his eyes.]


A better spread than some functions I have attended.

[ he seems to be in good shape. a tremble here and there, but it can go largely unnoticed to those who are less observant. the lines on his face have unfortunately become more pronounced. yet obi-wan still maintains a light-hearted air about him. ]

Now that might be stretching it.

Soup's the traditional first course in a lot of places, right? [He leans towards Usagi, just a little, and stage-whispers-]

Pretty much my sum total knowledge of fancy dinner parties.

Were that I. I’ve learned which events to eat ahead of time for.

[Lessons learned the hard way.]

[ he shakes his head fondly. ]

You always did like to be prepared.

I would rather not be caught with my pants down in the senate.
jedies: (Poisons love with grains of doubt)

[personal profile] jedies 2022-06-19 11:42 pm (UTC)(link)
[ his lips quirk into a smile. ]

That sounds like a story, Senator. Dare I ask?
lightthedarkness: (Usagi) (Oh gosh)

[personal profile] lightthedarkness 2022-06-21 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Usagi blinked, not recognizing the gentleman but blushing a bit at the suggestion that they might be held hostage. She scratched her cheek.]

I mean, considering who is here, even if he WAS, I'd think he'd have a really hard time with it. But Anakin is too sweet for that. [He was doing ALL THIS for Obi-Wan, after all.]

I'm Usagi Tsukino. [She gave a little bow.] It's nice to meet you.
