        on  serious  note,  the  force  sensitive  girl  knew  she  could  master  what  he  was  putting  out  if  she  just  focused,  yet  there  were  a  plethora  of  other  things  in  mind.  head  and  heart  were  not  always  entirely  present  for  she  thought  back  to  her   FAMILY   and  how  they  might  show  up  to  find  her  no  longer   WAITING.   darkest  part  of  her  being  said  she  was  being  a   DREAMER   ;   that  they  would  never  return,  and  though  such  a  feeling  rooted  at  core,  rey  tried  to  the  best  of  her  abilities  to   ignore.

       obi  breaking  the   SILENCE   served  to  accomplish  that   ;   his  words  aided  as  anchor,  and  the  woman  found  herself  smiling.    ❛    i  suppose  you  cannot.  i  did  not  think  it  through   ;   however,  you  could  just  hold  me  for  fun  ?    ❜    warm  smile  falters  ever  so  slightly   -   FOCUS  and  DETERMINATION  fighting  back  to  regain  control.    ❛    i  will  get  it.  I  PROMISE.    

Now a skeptical FROWN pursed his lips at the thought of any jedi training being ‘just for fun’. He’d taken his lessons so seriously for so many years, but then again, he’d had the luxury of a PROPER master, one who’d studied the ways of the Force during a time when these arts had gone nearly extinct. Obi-Wan reminded himself that, despite Rey’s ASTONISHING talent with the Force, she hadn’t been instructed the way he had.

————– That, and then there was her smile, always as warm as the sun she’d blossomed under. It made the corners of his own mouth twitch upward, turning his frown into something of a lop-sided smirk.  ❝ How about this? I’ll stand here, ❞ he shifted to stand directly in front of her, facing her,  ❝ and I’ll help guide your hands. ❞
