In the Arms of the Angel. (JA)

It's only one post long but it takes place on the trip to the Temple between book #6 and #7.

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From the star-cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you feel
You are torn from the reckegde
From your silent revory
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

Qui-Gon Jinn heard a odd noise coming from the back of the ship. He looked back to see a small form of a body hunched over by a window. It was Obi-Wan Kenobi.
The boy had been quiet the whole trip and now Qui-Gon could hear a sniffling noise.
I should do something, Qui-Gon thought.

No. Let the boy fend for himself. He left you, remember?

But he doesn't deserve to fell so alone.

Yes, he does! He betreyed you! Or are you trying to ignore that?

Qui-Gon clenched his teeth together.

Of course I'm not trying to ignore that fact! But he's back there alone feeling, who knows what!

You're right. Go on.

Qui-Gon got up from the cockpit and went back to where Obi-Wan was sitting.
"Are you alright?" Qui-Gon asked quietly.

"No," Obi-Wan answered flatly.

"You miss her." It was a statment.

"Yes," Obi-Wan replied, trying not to cry.

Qui-Gon awkwardly put a arm around Obi-Wan's shoulders. "Ceseri is at peace now. She no longer has to worry of war."

"I killed her!" Obi-Wan blurted suddenly. "Oh, Force, it was me!"

Qui-Gon was taken aback by Obi-Wan's suddenly emotion.

Of course, Jinn. He doesn't dare say a word to make you angry at him now.

"There, there," Qui-Gon soothed the sobbing boy. "It wasn't your fault."

"She wouldn't have come if it wasn't for me!" Obi-Wan cried. "Why did she come?"

Qui-Gon though upon the answer. "Because she knew what would happen if some one didn't stop the fighting. She died a worriors' death."

"I know," Obi-Wan said tentivly. "I still miss her though."

"And you always will. It's the way of life," Qui-Gon explained. "Death makes it's mark on everyone. I don't believe there is one person who has never lost someone."

Obi-Wan nodded.

"Obi-Wan.....I forgive you for what happened. You let your heart decide what you wanted to do. It is very much like what happened to Xanatos and I," Qui-Gon said sadly. "I didn't listen to what the others said and I did the wring thing. I should have listened to those who were looking out for my best."

"Are you saying I should have listened to you?" Coldly.

Qui-Gon realized what Obi-Wan was saying. "Maybe you should have, or maybe it was the will of the Force that you stayed. Who are we to know?"

"No one," Obi-Wan sniffled.

"We aren't no one," Qui-Gon said with a small smile. "We just aren't the ones to know."

Obi-Wan looked down. Qui-Gon could tell he was thinking that he said something wrong again.

"So you forgive me?" Obi-Wan asked sheepishly.

"Of course," Qui-Gon repsonded.

"Do you....think Ceseri will forgive me for what I've done?"

"She has no reason to be mad, in the first place, Obi-Wan," Qui-Gon reminded him. "Let it lie."

Escaped tears slid down the boys' cheeks. "Yes, Master Jinn."

Qui-Gon swallowed the lump in his throat. "I need to get back in the cockpit. We're almost to Corusant."

Obi-Wan bowed his head.

THE END.
