[CW] From afar (Obi Wan)

[Sabi Ravinia]

Sabi turned and tossed in her warm bed, she couldn't sleep being a Jedi knight had it's positives but it also had negitives to go along with it. Sabi thought of her friend Lienna, her good loyal friend and how her love for the Jedi master Qui-Gon was taking it's toll on her. Sabi did want to help deeply, but what could she do tell him.

No. That was not allowed, loving was not allowed and sadly Sabi had her own problems, Obi Wan he was a good man, a good master to Anikan and a good friend to her. They had met as Padawans and from then on helped and enjoyed one another's company for some time. But along that thread of friendship it split fo Sabi, and she was sure it had split for Obi Wan as well. Split into a path of friendship and keeping the faith, and the other a forbbiden path of love and traitorisim.

Sabi did not want that for either of them. Throwing off the cool white sheets of her bed she gave a frustrated sigh and shook her head "such stupid thoughts!" she said pushing herself from her bed. Walking over to the tall long window, the cold wind blew in causing her white nightgown that reached her ankles to swing about. Her hair was undone and hung to her shoulders in a slightl waving pattern.

Sabi's brown eyes rested on the many tall buildings of Curosant, her home and so much more.

[Obi-Wan-Kenobi]

Obi-Wan had sat on his new office, which he had received recently, Aswell as his new rank, Jedi knight. Obi-Wan was very pleased that he was now a knight to the council. Aswell as being pleased that Anakin had completed his youngling training and could become Obi-Wans padawan.

However something else was on his mind.Sabi was a deeply good friend to Obi-Wan. But with Obi-Wans knight ship. He could not be sure if he could remain as close to Sabi anymore. When Obi-Wan was a padawan he had been so close to her. And they had gone along a roller coaster of emotions. But Obi-Wan was now a knight, which called for a great responsibility.

Obi-Wan looked out his office window sighing. He watched out his office window, watching the many tall buildings of Coruscant,and the traffic of flying aircrafts, flying in a line.

[Sabi Ravinia]

Sabi's thoughts hurt her head, she took in a deep breathe and pulled on her Jedi robe over her nightgown, and slipped her small feet into a pair of slim slippers, then pulled her hair up into a messy ponytail. Exciting he room she took in a deep breathe before walking to Obi Wan's new office. he was a Jedi knight now and that made Sabi very happy. They had got knightened togather, the ceremony was very happy.

When outisde his door her brown eyes looked it over. What was she doing!, well no turning back now she needed to speak with him. get these thoughts of him from her mind, she knocked on the door. "Obi Wan it's me Sabi" she said quietly, hoping he was there.

[Obi-Wan-Kenobi]

Obi-Wan heard a knocking, and heard the call from the other side of the room. It was Sabi. What a coincidence, Obi-Wan was just thinking about her. He hesitated weather he should answerer the door. His emotions could play on him again. Obi-Wan had completely froze on his window. Until more knocking on the door came.

Obi-Wan found his confidence and slowly slid open the door. "Sabi what brings you here so late in the night?" Obi-Wan asked in curiosity.

[Sabi Ravinia]

Sabi jolted slightly when the door slid open, she cleared her throat and slowly stepped into his dimly night lit room. She walked closer to him her eyes fixed on him and bit the corner of her lip "Obi Wan I need to speak with you...I-...we've been friends for a long time now and I'm afraid that friendship have turned to more" she said fast and smooth, she didn't want to pause on anything she just wanted it out.

Giving a sigh she turned and sat herself down upon a couch her hands in her lap, her Jedi robe slid off one shoulder. Her brown eyes looked up to him "I'm sorry..." she said her pale skin catching in the light from the city.

[Obi-Wan-Kenobi]

"Obi Wan I need to speak with you...I-...we've been friends for a long time now and I'm afraid that friendship have turned to more"

Obi-Wan's face grew sad, but he had nodded and accepted. He was surprised that Sabi would tell him this, for Obi-Wan planned to do so later. But now the time had come. He had expected the time their strong relationship would crumble.

He watched as Sabi, sat herself on his couch and apologized. Obi-Wan turned his head to the side, looking at the bottom of the door. " I understand." He accepted. " Maybe it is for the best. We cannot let emotions get in the way of us any longer..." Obi-Wan said, with great confidence.

[Sabi Ravinia]

Sabi's brown eyes widened "what you do...I agree as well" she said standing from the couch, she turned to leave not able to stay in the same room as him while saying these things. Sabi's eyes stung slightly, not from anger but from sadness, sad about not being able to have a normal life with this man, the one she had her back too, not able to have him in anyway.

Sabi wiped at her eyes with the back of her smooth hand "It's best if I leave" she said starting slowly back to the front door. This was stupid of her to even be here with him and telling him this, but she felt like it was needed of her and it would be best for them both. Or atleast Sabi hoped.

[Obi-Wan-Kenobi]

Obi-Wan was completely speechless. A tear dropped from his eye, quickly wiped by his rough sleeve before Sabi could see.

"It's best if I leave"

Obi-Wan nodded. Obi-Wan was sad, to see one of his closest friends about to leave before him. He remembered the first time he had met Sabi, when he was only padawan. But the time had gone by and now Obi-Wan gazed at Sabi as she made her way to the door.

[Sabi Ravinia]

Sabi turned her head and she caught him wipe his face with his long sleeve, was he crying. Her brown eyes welled up more and she turned facing him, slowly she made her way towards him her Jedi robe hanging off both her shoulders now as her hands met his. "Obi Wan I-...I need you" she said through holding back tears. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him close.

Sabi's tears were sti8ll held back she was a strong woman, she buried her face into his neck, then pulled away slighty to look up to him. He was such a good friend and it pained her to see him in the state that she was also in. Her arms still around his neck she offered him a weak smile before resting her head on his chest. He body shook with silent sobs and she closed her eyes tight trying to fight it.

[Obi-Wan-Kenobi]

Obi-Wan and Sabi held hands. "Obi Wan I-...I need you" and before Obi-Wan knew, they were doing what they once did before when they first met. Obi-Wan stepped close to Sabi, while her hands were around his neck. That tingle feeling came back to Obi-Wan.

Obi-Wan looked down at her while she rested herself on him. Obi-Wan smiled back weakly.With his hand he slowly stroked her head. A few more tears fell from Obi-Wan. "I.....I just.......Don't know anymore....I just don't know what to do." Obi-Wan whispered to her. Obi-Wan was now more confused than ever. His emotions had played on him very well.

[Sabi Ravinia]

Sabi heard him talk to her about not knowing what to do, niether did she but right now at this moment all she wanted to do was be close to him. She felt his gentle hands stroke her hair. And his gentle calming voice in her ear.

Sabi raised her head from his chest to look up at him, raising her right hand she slowly ran it along side his face and then into his reddish brown hair that over time he had grown while he was a knight. Sabi rested her hand on his shoulder her free one also rested on his shoulder now. Her soft skin glowing in the city lights, her brown eyes fixed on him.

[Obi-Wan-Kenobi]

Obi-Wan felt Sabis perfect smooth hand run over his face, then was placed on his shoulders. Sabi's eyes were fixed on Obi-Wans blue eyes. And Obi-Wan was fixed on hers. They were in that position for a while, slowly drawing each other closer. Then Obi-Wan broke it.

Obi-Wan moved away to the window. "No. Im sorry Sabi. But our emotions are playing on us again. This is not what we are trained to do." Obi-Wan said, with his head down, looking at the lower buildings of Coruscant. What was Obi-Wan doing? He could not let emotions get in the way, especially not so fast after his knighting.

[Sabi Ravinia]

Sabi's eyes widened slightly when Obi Wan pulled away from her. She gave a sadened look and hesitated before walking up towards Obi Wan. Placing her hand on his shoulder again she leaned into him. "I know they are....and I know it was not what we were trained to do, but....it was what we we're made for" she said letting her voice trail off. Of course she was talknig about emotions and love.

But Sabi had a funny feeling that no matter what she tried to do, nothing would change Obi Wan's thoughts on them. "I can see you don't feel the same way" she said quietly letting her hand slip from his shoulder.

Turning she shook her head and stood there for a moment, decided wiether to leave or stay. If she stayed it wouldn't acomplish anything, and if she left it would wreck thier entire friendship.

[Obi-Wan-Kenobi]

I know they are....and I know it was not what we were trained to do, but....it was we we're made for"

Obi-Wan stared at her for a bit. Keeping her words in thought.

"I can see you don't feel the same way"

Obi-Wan couldn't let his great friend go. Then it would be all over. Obi-Wan approached her. Holding both her hands with his hands. "I don't want you to leave." He whispered to her. "I want to remain friends" He added. Before he ran his right hand down her smooth, young, beautiful face.

((Sorry for short post))

[Sabi Ravinia]

Sabi watched not saying a word as Obi Wan walked towards her, she felt his hands hold hers, and then his hand caress the side of her face. She leaned into his warm touch and gave a weak smile "I do wish that aswell.....but..." she wanted to say the words, the words that would make her all better if she heard them from his mouth as well.

Sabi stared at Obi Wan before leaning into him, her body shivered slightly as she stood more reaching his mouth with hers. Her full lips connecting with his in a quick brush of a kiss. Sabi pulled back and her eyes went down to the floor between them, as she remained close to him.
