“General Windu and Commander Ponds!” Rex snapped to attention as Obi-Wan smiled at them. Ahsoka and Anakin immediately halting their teasing at Obi-Wan’s remark and snapping to attention as well when the other general and two squads of ten arrived. “Glad you could join us for this mission. You two would be a great respite from Anakin and Padme.”
He snickered. Ever since Obi-Wan let it slip that the Order knew about their marriage, the young general had been relieved to know that he wouldn’t be forced to leave the Jedi- so long as it didn’t affect their duty. He’s lightened up- the tension between him and the rest of the Jedi seemed to ease significantly.
Outwardly, General Windu showed no emotion, but Rex could see the flickering amusement in his eyes as his gaze snapped to Anakin, who still had his comm out. Rex chuckled at the flush that rose to the Knight’s face when he noticed he had gained twin looks of amusement from his former master and the other General. “Yes. . . seems like it will be a long few days before we reach our location.”
Obi-Wan rolled his eyes and turned, making his way towards The Negotiator , the chosen ship for the voyage. “At least those two are out in the open now, how they thought they were being anything remotely close to subtle is beyond me.” He scoffed in a teasing voice.
Rex didn’t need to look behind him to know that Skywalker’s blush had deepened.
“Come on master! We weren’t that bad!”
“I beg to differ Skyguy. Even the initiates knew about it!”
“She is right sir,” Rex couldn’t help but chime in. “Even the shinies on Kamino have heard. They’ve made a game of it last I checked.”
Even Windu had an almost-smirk on his face at Anakin’s indignant squawking.
“So, what is this mission we’re taking? Skyguy and I only skimmed it before coming here.” Ahsoka asked.
Raising his brow at his former padawan, Obi-Wan sighed. “The Explorer Corps found a Sith Temple in the Mid Rim. From their reports, it looks as though someone had been there recently.”
She frowned, clearly troubled. “A Sith?”
General Windu nodded. “Possibly. If it were just an abandoned temple, it would have been likely that a knight-master pair would have been sent instead.”
“But because a Sith visited. . .” Anakin trailed off.
“Yes, that is why I am joining you and Master Kenobi. With all of us, we may be able to gather hints as to who- or what- was there. With any luck, it might be the Sith Lord we’re looking for.”
Anakin sighed as they walked onto the bridge before looking meaningfully at his former master. “You have any bad feelings about this master?”
Leveling a less than amused stare at the other Jedi, Obi-Wan scoffed. “I am hardly a tracking device for things that could go wrong.” At Anakin’s continued staring, he sighed. “No, no bad feelings.” And simply because underneath all those Jedi robes and fancy words, Obi-Wan Kenobi was an utter bastard, he smirked and added, “yet.”
General Windu rolled his eyes before opening the mission file before addressing the other troopers in the room. “Right, as most of you know already, we are heading to a Sith Temple that was recently accessed by an unknown variant out in the Mid Rim, on a planet named Dasoor. Right now, the planet hosts various pirates, thieves, smugglers and others as a rest place, though we don’t expect much trouble from them when we land as the Sith Temple is isolated from the public. The Explorer Corps have given us the necessary information of where to find it. Our job is to search the Temple to find any hints of who may have visited. It will take us a few days until then, so get comfortable.” Looking around, General Windu nodded once and turned off the holo-projector. “Meeting adjourned.”
With that, the soldiers that weren’t commanders or captains left, attending to their own duties, or leaving to just catch up with those that came from the 187th.
Rex pulled off his helmet, setting it on the table before finally making his way over to Ponds and Cody, both them already with their helmets off and making conversation. Bastards.
“So,” he threw an arm around Cody, a teasing grin on his face that made the other narrow his eyes in suspicion. “Apparently you know how to dance now? Strange, last I checked, you couldn’t even tap your foot to the rhythm of a song.”
Immediately catching on, Ponds grins and whistles. “Waxer was very insistent on it. So, why the need to know how to dance so badly now Kote ?” He laughed and lowered his voice, speaking in Mando’a. “ It doesn’t have to do with your little crush on your general does it? ”
Rex grinned. The others still didn’t know that he and Kote had managed to get together with Obi-Wan yet. Their expressions would be priceless . Right now though, teasing Cody is something he enjoys.
“ You know General Kenobi knows Mando’a right? ” Cody says in lieu of a response.
Ponds freezes. Evidently, no, no he didn’t know that. Especially since he turns towards the General in question with wider than normal eyes. “Shit.”
Laughing, Rex tosses his other arm around Ponds. “Just what type of stuff are you saying around the General to go all wide-eyed like that ?”
“I. . . okay in my defense I was drugged!”
“Oh my Force, Ponds.” Cody grins. “What did you say to him.”
“Apparently, Commander Ponds thinks I have a very nice ass.”
Rex straight up cackles at the face he’s making as Obi-Wan interrupts them. Ponds looks like he’d rather face off Ventress than be here. Especially with the look that General Windu is leveling at all three of them.
“I was flattered of course, but I was more occupied with making sure you didn’t bleed out.” Obi-Wan smirks. Windu sighs and Rex thinks that Windu would rather like a nice bottle of alcohol to forget this conversation entirely.
Ponds’ face is as red as Fox’s gear when he finally manages to look at the two Generals. “I-I am so sorry sir. That was incredibly inappropriate of me.”
Obi-Wan chuckles and waves his end. “No, you’re perfectly alright commander, it was a slip of the tongue, happens to everyone.”
General Windu sighs again and Rex almost feels bad for him. “How about a spar, Obi-Wan? It’s been a while.”
Understandably, Obi-Wan glances at his friend with wary eyes. “Oh? And this isn’t just revenge for. . . ahem, what happened before.” He said, a teasing undertone to his voice.
“A Jedi does not seek revenge.”
“Only justice.” Something glints in Obi-Wan’s eyes as he says it, a hint of a smirk tugging at his lips. “Well then Mace? You offered a spar. . .”
Anakin and Ahsoka immediately perk up, as do Ponds and Cody who have been teasing each other during the interaction.
“Well, now that we have an audience, let’s not disappoint them.” The two Jedi masters exchange small grins as they leave the bridge.
Rex and Cody eye Ponds.
“General Kenobi will win.”
“Bet!”
Cannibal: MASTER MACE AND OBI-WAN ARE SPARRING!!
