come morning light

Obi-Wan cuts Anakin’s hair, ahead of the victory celebration on Naboo. [AO3]

Besides the intermittent chirps of Nubian early morning birds, quiet snips of the scissors is the only sound filling the small space in the fresher. 

On the stool, the boy is remarkably quiet. Slanting pale light falls into sun-bleached locks as they fall off his shoulder and onto the floor. Anakin watches it with downcast eyes, in a stillness Obi-Wan already knows is uncharacteristic of him. 

Perhaps he hadn’t had much to sleep either last night, after Qui-Gon’s funeral. As for Obi-Wan, it would have felt disdainful to lay his head down on a pillow and close his eyes, after witnessing Qui-Gon being laid to rest on the pyre. He had instead spent the night in deep meditation, which afforded him strength and resolve enough to carry on through the day, but not much more. Focus on the boy, Obi-Wan thinks to himself. Now that morning has come, it’s time to move on. Your vows will guide you now, if the man you made them to cannot. 

It’s still a couple of hours until the victory celebration, and they’re up early to put Anakin into the shape of a new Padawan, in preparation for it. There’s already a set of new robes laid out on the bed inside the room, which they’d apparently struggled finding, given Anakin’s small size. (Starched and cream-colored, Obi-Wan imagines it sitting stiffly across the boy’s shoulders.) The other part of it is, of course, the haircut. It’s something he’s done for young Padawans before, but this is different. Much too different. 

Having cleared away some of the mop, Obi-Wan pauses, and carefully parts a strand of hair just above Anakin’s right ear, tying it off with a ribbon. Anakin doesn’t know, and Obi-Wan doesn’t think about how it wouldn’t be touched for another ten years, until Obi-Wan is the one to cut it off again. 

After repeating this with another tuft at the back of his head, the clips of the scissors resume. Obi-Wan leans in close, combing through the remaining bristly locks— surprisingly soft now, having been cleaned of sand and battle smoke— and methodically cuts it down to even lengths. His hands do not shake, though it feels as though they should. The task is monotonous enough that Obi-Wan’s mind drifts, and he has to wonder why he can’t chase away the flashes of Qui-Gon’s body on fire, looking down at this boy. 

Finally, he combs out any loose clumps, and comes around to kneel in front of Anakin. Their eyes meet. Neither speaks a word, but they both feel the light shifting around them, like it could encase this moment forever. Obi-Wan goes on. He unties the strand by Anakin’s ear, and nimbly weaves it into a short braid, which comes to rest just above his shoulder. 

When it’s finished, Anakin tries to run a hand through his hair, only to be met with its abrupt end. He looks bewildered for half a moment, before his hand goes to the ponytail, the braid, and he looks up at Obi-Wan with a hesitant, but genuine smile. 

“It’s just like yours.” 

Obi-Wan matches his expression, and nods.

“Come on now,” he lays a hand on his Padawan’s shoulder, and gently guides them out. “It’s time to get ready. The Queen will be waiting for us.”

Names on Naboo

Something fun: names on Naboo! I love populating my worlds with OCs and I like having names that either sound similar to regular names but suited to fit the language (i.e. Isabella, Isabeau, Isobel) and names that have the same meaning but sound totally different.

So, some [non-canon] names on Naboo, definitely not an exhaustive list though, and their meanings:

Note: For names I have not kept to my own spelling rules, because they're names and they look prettier this way and also that's exactly how Naberrie works. Most are the exact same, but if a name ends with an "e", it is actually an extension of the previous vowel, i.e. Câlude would be spelled "câlood" and pronounced /ca:lu:d/ not /ca:lʊde/.

How come Padme Amidala gets all the shiny ships. I WANT A SHINY SHIP!!!

Before Qui-Gon Jinn died, he used Ataru and had passed down his mastery to his Padawan, Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Ataru which relies on acrobatics, offense, quick movements, and unpredictability. Ataru which lacks defense, which Qui-Gon Jinn does using.

After Naboo, Obi-Wan Kenobi switches from the lightsaber form Ataru to Soresu.

Soresu is the Endurance form. It is an unpopular form amongst younglings because it is pure defense. They don’t understand how they can win using it. They’re right. You can’t win using Soresu, that’s not why it was made.

It is the form of survival, not winning. It is meant for the user to endure suffering, endless suffering and still stand. A Soresu master will never be struck down for lack of defense.

Obi-Wan Kenobi refuses to leave his Padawan masterless.

What we really need is a femininomenon!!!!
