The Salle, Sunday evening

[jedi-qui.livejournal.com]

Master Qui-Gon Jinn gave a smile of fond remembrance as he stepped into the salle. It had been a long time, but it didn't look or feel any different.

For old times sake he retrieved his light saber (and hadn't that been a step back into memory, having to leave it in the weapons locker?) and began to run through a solo kata with it.

[ooc: open! And no particular Qui-Gon icons for this thing -- he just now looks a lot more like the icons I already have. ;)]

Anakin walked into the salle, intending to see just how much the plague had affected his reflexes.

And stared.

"...Qui-Gon?"

Qui-Gon lowered his saber and smiled. "Anakin," he greeted his old teacher. "It's good to see you again. The years have been kind."

[sith_happened]

"The years?" Anakin repeated, confused. "How much time do you think has gone by?"

He promised Rory he'd sleep for a year, but hadn't intended to actually do it.

"Twenty," Qui-Gon said. "Hence the 20 year reunion."

It took Anakin a second to double check his internal clock before smiling and shaking his head. "Not for me, I'm afraid," he said. "It's just been twenty years for you."

He couldn't help himself. "Training anyone yet?"

"As a matter of fact, I just took on a new padawan," Qui-Gon said.

[sith_happened]

"Really," Anakin said, eyes twinkling. "What's his name?"

[jedi-qui.livejournal.com]

"Obi-Wan Kenobi." Qui-Gon gave a small smile. "But you already knew that, didn't you?"

[sith_happened]

"Maybe," Anakin said. "Is he a terror? Tell me he's a terror. It will make me very, very happy."

"He has a problem accepting the word 'no'," Qui-Gon said, tilting his head to the side. "He was your Master," he guessed.

[sith_happened]

Anakin flashed him a grin. "Very good, Master Qui-Gon," he said, bowing his head.

[jedi-qui.livejournal.com]

Qui-Gon grinned. "I should let Obi-Wan know that. It will perhaps make him less desperate about obtaining knighthood if he knew he was destined to have padawans of his own some day."

[sith_happened]

Anakin raised an eyebrow. "You must be new," he said. "Most Masters aren't terribly concerned with making sure their Padawans feel good about themselves."

"Obi-Wan's rather.... single-minded about becoming a padawn and all that entails," Qui-Gon explained.

[sith_happened]

Anakin snickered. "You mean that you could invent rules for him to follow and he would."

[jedi-qui.livejournal.com]

"You'd think that, wouldn't you?" Qui-Gon said. "But no, I keep getting Council chapter and verse quoted at me. I really need to break him of that."

[sith_happened]

Anakin burst out laughing. "It'll take some time," he warned.

[jedi-qui.livejournal.com]

"Doesn't everything?" Qui-Gon said with a sigh.

[sith_happened]

"His head is harder than permacrete," Anakin said, eyes sparkling with warmth.

[jedi-qui.livejournal.com]

Qui-Gon sighed again. "I was rather hoping that would change."

[sith_happened]

"Not once, and I knew him most of my life," Anakin said. "We were a bit of a matched set that way."

[jedi-qui.livejournal.com]

"No, really?" Qui-Gon teased. "You always were so easy going as a teacher."

[sith_happened]

Anakin waved a finger at him. "I never liked you."
