Summary:

Cody actually thinks for the first time after the Deception Arc.

Notes:

What I ended up doing for this prompt doesn’t entirely match with the word, but I figured that it kind of works.

I also didn’t want to rewrite it.

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

Guileless: innocent and without deception

CC-2224, also known as Marshall Commander Cody of the 7th Sky Corps, was a disaster.

He had been slowly coming to terms with General Kenobi’s—no, Obi-Wan’s, his general had told Cody to call him Obi-Wan—death when Rex had commed him.

Apparently, the whole thing had been a set up and Obi-Wan had faked his death and was still alive.

Sith hells. His general was alive.

Cody staggered, backing up against a wall and sinking to the ground.

“Codes?” He heard Rex call. He’d forgotten his vod’ika was still on the call.

He sighed. “I’m fine, Rex. Just… having some realizations that I didn’t previously have.”

Rex stared at him. “I… you good?”

“Yep. Continue, please.”

“What were we even talking about?”

“No idea.”
