#healer: can I refer you to a specialist I know a very good couples counselor

[tennessoui]

Ok counseling au Obi-Wan has lingering chest pain right, and mostly he thinks Anakin is worrying needlessly over it because he was cleared by the healers, ok? But what if he did have an incident? Maybe just heart palpations, but still. There's no toughing your way out or pretending it's not happening with that sort of thing... You just kinda end up on the floor until help comes or it stops. Anakin could be there for it (an argument? Oh the guilt) or he hears about it (the worse guilt).

Either way, it would probably make his separation anxiety 100x worse because it would prove that his fears that Obi-Wan is not safe if Anakin is not by his side are founded. (Padme and Obi-Wan arguing that a medical device will due are unheard) he's like no I need to move back in 24/7.

Councilor like hmmmmmm.

ooo this is good this is good and I have definite plans to feature a small injury that gets a little blown out of proportion because of who they are as people (insane about each other)

but are obi-wan’s chest pains even real or is he just an idiot with a new nervous habit

like imagine his check up appointment with the healer like

obi-wan: so um I’ve been getting some pains in my chest which sort of go away when I rub at my chest I think it’s because of all the force lightning

healer: huh that’s odd we did a very intensive healing session on you when you first came in. mostly because you know knight Skywalker was sort of threatening to kill us if you died. so I’m pretty sure you shouldn’t be having any sort of chest pains.

obi-wan: ….it was a lot of force lightning

healer: …ok. so what are you doing when you experience these pains

obi-wan: well I am usually sitting in my dark room thinking about how alone I feel. sometimes I’m trying to guess when my padawan will decide to leave me, it’s a fun game I play

healer: and that’s when your chest hurts? when you think about the inevitability of being alone? do you think maybe it’s not your chest that’s hurting but your heart?

obi-wan:

obi-wan: it was a lot of force lightning
