#basically canon compliant but - I do not like the tusken massacre as a writing choice so we are electing to ignore that

padmè comes back from the battle of genosis to a galaxy thrown into war, and a fiancè with a new prosthetic hand, and -

quite a few bones to pick with obi-wan kenobi

he has been incredibly professional with padmè

he has treated anakin like he is still a nine-year-old child

worse, even

when she had heard anakin ranting about obi-wan, after he almost slaughtered a whole tusken tribe for torturing and murdering his mother -

padmè had thought anakin was exaggerating. teen angst.

sure, obi-wan had referred to anakin as a 'pathetic life-form' when they first met, but he had mentored anakin in the decade since

yet he ignored anakin's cries for his mother, whereas padmè, who was only now starting to love anakin, could only last a couple of nights before rushing to tatooine

he critiqued anakin's strategy for keeping padmè safe, a strategy that padmè had contributed to

he had shown no gratitude for anakin coming to save him, merely derision for their failure

was that how obi-wan had always treated anakin? qui-gon certainly never treated obi-wan that way in her presence.

he had barely spent any time at anakin's bedside after the battle, even though padmè caught obi-wan looking at anakin, as if he wanted to stay and brush his hair off his face

padmè sighed, closing her eyes.

she had a job to do and a man to marry.

maybe, she'll find some time to shakedown obi-wan for his... interesting mentorship style of anakin, one day
