    Summary

    “Mandalorian kids?” Quinlan wore a deep frown on his face, knowing how troublesome that was for the Republic.

    “They tried to make them fight the Younglings. Some kind of Jedi vs Mandalorian thing. I want to bring them home.”

    “To Keldabe? You have lost your mind.”

    “The Republic would use them for leverage. It could escalate to war– things have been way too tense for way too long.” Obi-Wan argued.

    “Going to Mandalorian Space is suicide.”

    “I would rather risk my life than see children used as political pawns or worse, as leverage in war.”

    “They are the enemy, Obes. If they get their hands on you they would not be so gracious.”

    “There are no enemy children in war. Just children.”

    Quinlan knew there was no convincing Obi-Wan at this point. “Fine. But don’t come crying to me when things go wrong.”

    They both knew Quinlan would be the first to aid Obi-Wan should things go wrong.

    Him and the rest of the Bear Clan.

    “I’ll take the risk.”

    -
    Or, Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi had been a Seeker for about six years when he was called in to aid the Shadows in their mission. His past just happens to catch up and refuses to let him go a second time.

    Summary

    Mandalorians had this odd sense of humour where they liked watching strangers get teary eyed from eating the spiciest dishes.

    “Familiar with pirpaak ?”

    “Not this particular one, but familiar enough to know what to expect.” Ben replied.

    Food was an important part of Mandalorian culture. Aliite tended to have conflict over whose dish was the better recipe. It was like Jedi and their tea blends.

    “Where did you have it?”

    “Sundari.” Ben replied, “It was a lifetime ago.”

    “Ughh, Sundari’s drap? What’s the name of the place?”

    “I am unsure, though it might have been a bit spicier than this one.” Ben hid a smile at the outrage that followed his claim by taking another bite. Pretending not to notice the chaos he had caused, Ben glanced at the Mand’alor who was watching him in amusement.

    “Ever visited Keldabe?”

    Ben hid a laugh. “Only ran through it, really.”

    “What a shame. I will show you around.” Jaster offered.

    Ben smiled, “I would not say no to that.”

    In which Ben Kenobi realises that it was only fair if the Sith actually had a player sitting on the opposite side of the invisible chessboard they had created.

    Summary

    It was a widely known fact within the Temple, that the Temple Guards stationed at the Coruscant Temple were experiencing a ‘shortage’ at the moment. Seeing as Knights were sent out to complete missions and went on protective details, they were also the Corp that was responsible for the Temple Guards.
    -

    “I may have an issue.”

    “What is it?”

    The boy was alone. No one else was around despite it being the middle of the night. Just the boy who made a bee-line for Obi-Wan. He was way too young to be out at this time let alone out here all alone. It was the boy’s training armour that tipped Obi-wan off that this was more than just a lost child.

    “I have a youngling in front of me. There is no one else around and I am pretty sure he’s Mandalorian.”

    Quinlan paused, then asked, “...Come again?”

    Obi-Wan peered down at the child tugging at his arm. “Aran, ner echoy'la.”

    Kriff. “Correction, I have a Mandalorian boy in front of me telling me he’s lost.”
    -

    Or it’s Knight Obi-Wan Kenobi’s turn to be a Temporary Temple Guard and of course one of his past missions comes back to haunt him.

    Summary

    “Merlin…” Arthur said as he slowly started to reach for his sword. “Don’t…Move…”

    “No, no, no! Arthur, it’s alright!” Merlin said as he moved (because obviously he ignored Arthur’s orders and moved) in front of the desk. “She’s just saying hello!”

    “That’s a dragon.” Arthur informed him. Merlin looked over his shoulder for a moment.

    “No, it isn’t.”

    There was a pause.

    “Yes, it is.”

    “No.” Merlin shook his head. “It…Uh, is not…A dragon.”

    “Then what the Hell is it?!” Arthur asked, not letting his eyes drift away from the fire breathing demon. Yeah. That was definitely a dragon. Merlin clicked his tongue before also staring behind him.

    “It is…A…Bird…”

    There was another pause.

    “You’re really sticking with that?”

    “I am, thank you.”

    Or

    Merlin has to convince the King of Camelot that he is not, in fact, in possession of a dragon. Luckily, the rest of the kingdom has already been won over by the baby dragon and is quite willing to aid in this quest.
