The Hermit Shack in the Woods, Thursday Evening

[saddeserthermit]

Truth be told, Obi-Wan had seriously considered not returning to Fandom island; the risk to Luke was too great if Vader or another Imperial officer came back and chose to follow him to Tatooine this time. But there were certain obligations he felt too guilty about bound to that he could not simply shirk. Speaking to Kanan was one of these. (Picking

Kanan was... still twitchy, unsurprisingly. His talk with Doctor Lecter had at least helped him to affirm that he wasn't insane for being twitchy, and the revelation that Skywalker had once exiled Atton Karking Rand from the island had done wonders for cementing that the man was... what was the word he'd thought of while arguing with him about not wanting to be murdered by the Emperor's apprentice?
