Satine sketch for the end of Satine week

I'm running a few days behind on Satine Week, but I finally finished a very short fic (just under 600 words) set during the Manadalore Mission (pre-Episode I) for the prompt "Jewel".

...

            Satine let out an exasperated huff as she set her data reader aside with more vehemence than necessary.

            “What?” Obi-Wan prompted. He also set aside the archaeology periodical he was browsing on his own reader, knowing from prior experience that if he ignored such displays she’d only sulk. After all, if the ruins of the temple uncovered by Master Cordova had waited centuries for discovery, his study on the topic could wait until Satine had vented her ire a little.

            She picked up the reader again, showing him the headline that had so offended her. He squinted at the thin, spiky Mandalorian runes, deciphering and translating as fast as he could before she grew impatient.

       ��    “’The Jewel of Kalevala’,” he read aloud, demonstrating his growing fluency in Mando’a. She didn’t correct him, so he assumed he’d translated correctly. She was evidently too annoyed to be impressed with his intellect just then, and he tried not to be overly put out at the wasted effort. “That’s you?” he concluded, uncertain.

            “Oh, indeed,” she repeated, voice falsely smooth, the expression on her beautiful face deeply indignant.

            “That’s…bad?” Truthfully, he was perplexed. It didn’t seem like such a negative epithet. In fact, he thought it rather fitting, though he knew better than to say as much when she was making that face.

            “Of course it is,” she said, tossing the reader back onto the table.

            He crossed his arms across his chest, tucking his hands into the sleeves of his robe. “Then I suppose it doesn’t mean that you are… treasured, beautiful?”

            “In Basic perhaps,” she conceded a bit more calmly, showing forbearance with his ignorance of her culture despite her peevishness. “To a Mandalorian, the implication is…” She paused to gesture, her hand graceful even as she waved it about in frustration. “A sparkling bauble. Something frivolous, merely decorative, without strength or purpose.”

            “All that in one word?”

            She shrugged. “If Mandalorians excel at something besides pointless destruction, it’s insulting each other with economy.”

            He reached to unclip his lightsaber from his belt and set it on the table in front of him.

            She cocked her head, fair brows furrowing in a charmingly perplexed expression. “Are you going to fight the data reader on my behalf?” she asked with a soft snort of a laugh.

            He spared her a half-smile before he turned back to the saber, deactivating the power cell and starting to unfasten the casing. “Obviously not. I want to show you something.”

            Her intent gaze did distract him a little as he went through the familiar motions of disassembling his lightsaber. He slowed a little lest he fumble a critical component in self conscious clumsiness. Still, it only took a few moments to reveal the kyber crystal. He turned it a little, letting it catch the light. It sparkled, clear as ice, and seemed to glow from within.

            “When you say ‘jewel’, this is what I think of,” he explained. “That’s why I thought the word suited you,” he added, glancing at her quickly. He bit his tongue before he waxed poetic about the color of her eyes. She was clearly in no mood for flattery about her looks, even if it was genuine.

            “It is beautiful,” she breathed.

            “It is, but it’s more than that as well. It channels energy, amplifies the Light. It’s incredibly precious, remarkably powerful.”

            “I wish that’s what they meant,” she said sadly.

            “You will show them what kind of jewel you are,” he promised.

            “I will certainly try,” she agreed, reaching out to take his hand.

Drying off after getting caught in a sudden rain squall, he gives her his comparatively dry undertunic and then is all “…well I didn’t think that through, did I?”

I see a lot of disparagement of the Padawan Hair, which makes me feel like I need to periodically assert that it’s actually Cute as Hell and Obi-Wan wears it very well.

Shocked, I tell you. Absolutely shocked.

POV: the Mandalorian Royal Guard who gets sent to investigate the blocked security holocam (covered with what looks like brown fabric?) in the Duchess’s audience chamber on the Coronet…

(But at least has the decency to make some noise on their way in…)

“Begging your pardon, Duchess, but I ought to be taking my leave,” General Kenobi said, stiffly and a bit too quickly.

The Duchess took a moment to reply. “Of course.” Her voice sounded thin and a little breathless. “We will continue discussing trade routes another time. Soon,” she added, a little more steadily.

(The young Duchess of Mandalore doesn’t like it very much when her Jedi Protector is not giving her his undivided attention)

A little Percy and Vex doodle from my previous sketchbook

(Probably protesting the glasses removal, like:

“You know I can’t see more than a few inches past my nose without them.”

“Not actually intending to be much further away than that just now, darling.”)

I missed making something for Barricade Day for the first time in about a decade, and I was feeling sad and nostalgic about it. So, a movie-Enjolras in an elaborate flower crown was the most Les Mis tumblr circa 2013 thing that I could imagine.
