I have an idea but I need your advice.

I was thinking about Mas-- Ben.

I don't think he should be alone, but I don't know if he's up to socializing a lot. So I thought... what if we get a few people and do a small dinner or something?

[ He looks uncertain. ] You've known him longer than I have. What do you think?

[ He's still adjusting, and it's hard to let go of "Master Kenobi" in favor of "Ben." But if it makes it easier on Obi-Wan, that's what matters.

That's what he tells himself, whenever he feels a little sad about it. ]


So we'll have to keep it small. Any idea who to invite?

I'll ask my grandfather about it. Not inviting him wouldn't go over well, anyway.

[ He has learned that much. Though Anakin doesn't think his grandfather will be particularly interested. ]

Less than ten? That sounds manageable, right?

[ He knows three of the four Ezra suggests, and trusts his judgement about Vying. ]

So that's seven or eight, depending on my grandfather. Which just leaves a time, a place, and food.

[ He runs a hand through his hair, ruffling it a bit. ] I'm missing Threepio right about now.

[ It's doable, but to say this is outside of his wheelhouse is being generous. ]

[ Well, that's one thing off his (metaphorical) plate. Cooking at the orphanage has sharpened his skills a little, but he's still woefully far from a gourmet chef. ]

My mom's protocol droid. It turns out he was actually built by my grandfather, though.

[ Which is still absolutely wild to him. ]

Yeah, both him and Artoo. He must've had his memory wiped at some point-- Threepio is bad at keeping secrets.

[ R2, though, is a funny little droid. Anakin is pretty sure he has a lot of secrets he'll never reveal, not even to Luke. ]

[ Anakin looks a little sad. That memory of Obi-Wan is still raw. ]

When I called him Master Kenobi, he said he wasn't anyone's master anymore. So I asked him what he wanted to be called. He said Ben.

[ It hurt to see him like that. And it will hurt Ezra to hear it, he thinks. ]

[ Ezra's reaction is even worse than he expected. He doesn't need a Force bond to feel the devastation. Anakin resists the urge to apologize, to crumple with guilt that doesn't even belong to him. ]

He didn't mean permanently. I think he said "right now."

[ He's not sure that helps much, though. ]

He wasn't himself right then.

[ He shakes his head. ] He might change his mind. It's too early to tell.

[ Anakin tries to keep the doubt off of his face. He knows the power of a name. He also knows that a name can be used as a clear delineation between before and after. Maybe it's easier for Obi-Wan to leave "Obi-Wan" to the time before the Purge. It hadn't occurred to him before he'd met Obi-Wan, but it seems like "Ben" was more than just an alias he used to hide from the Empire.

He tries for a small smile. ]


Door's unlocked and I have tea brewing. If you need a breather.

[ Anakin has no illusions that he can "fix" anything, but he's a good listener. And his house doesn't have memories of Obi-Wan in every corner of it. ]

Anakin steps aside, letting Ezra in. True to his word, there's a teapot and two cups set out in the living room and a faint smell of incense drifts through the house.

"It's not stupid to be upset, Ezra. He's always been more than a teacher for you."

Anakin takes a seat and lets Ezra serve himself. Although he knows how everyone in the Kenobi household takes their tea at this point, he also understands that having something to keep your hands busy when you're nervous can help.

"You're worried that he'll give up on teaching?"

He knows Obi-Wan, rather, Ben goes on to teach Luke but that is back home. Here, Luke doesn't need to be trained to keep himself alive.
