[Vyng's wool tunic is fairly water-resistant. But his hair is still pretty drenched, so he starts dragging his towel across his scalp.]

Oh yeah? What kind?

[jedies]

I'm fine with being surprised.

[spiritwalks]

Very well. A surprise shall be arranged.


[Hope you like pine needle tea, Obi-Wan. Because that's what's waiting for you on the coffee table 15 minutes later.]

[jedies]

[ he's open to new experiences. ]

Well. That's interesting.

[spiritwalks]

[Vyng sinks into the couch cushions, sandwich clutched in one hand, a plate in the other.]

Allow nature's bounty to sustain you, friend.

[Also, his pine needle jar was getting full.]

[jedies]

[ obi-wan's lips curve. ]

Through tea?

[spiritwalks]

[A chuckle.]

It's got vitamins.

[jedies]

Is that how you get them to drink it?

[spiritwalks]

Hm? Get who to drink it?

[jedies]

Your pine-needle tea. Unless they serve it exclusively here.

[spiritwalks]

No, it's my blend. [He glances down at Obi-Wan's teacup.] You don't like it?

[An honest question. It won't hurt his feelings, either way.]

[jedies]

No, I do but I suspect it's the kind of thing that is an acquired taste.

[spiritwalks]

Could be. I think the citrus notes are pretty subtle, though. Kind of like a floral beer.

[With a kid to look after, he skews toward more palatable herbs out of pure habit. Bitter, herbaceous teas are best for when somebody's sick — and they'll chug anything to feel better.]

[jedies]

I'm not much of connoisseur, but it's lovely.

[spiritwalks]

[A quiet smile.]

Good. I'm glad.

[He takes a bite of his sandwich. Eating not only helps replenish his strength, but it also gives him an immediate task to focus on. Until he's had a chance to decompress and put himself back together, ruminating too much over what he saw will probably do more harm than good. Vyng knows himself well enough to realize that, at the very least.]

[jedies]

[ there is a time for talk and there is a time for contemplation. obi-wan takes both in stride. he never feels the need to fill up the space or absence. how people feel is as it should be. taking their time. ]

[spiritwalks]

[The ensuing silence is a balm for Vyng's frayed mind. He typically has to leave home to find a place to sort his thoughts. But regardless of whether he's at home or outside, he never has the luxury of a confidant who understands what he's dealing with. Obi-Wan's willingness to sit with the aftermath of their meditation session is...nice. Comforting, in a way.

Another bite of his sandwich. Slow, methodical chewing. Vyng closes his eyes, giving them some much-needed rest, and simply lets himself be.]

end there?

[jedies]

[ a space of their own. theirs. molded with their like-mindedness. for the first time, in a long while, obi-wan feels he's made a real erstwhile friend. one who does understand him. ]
