26No one was really paying attention to anything Quinlin Vos was saying at the moment, well most people didn't pay attention to what he said anyway. Always the maverick that one. The council was more concerned with the skinny youngling sitting in Master Fisto's lap, attempting to eat his tentacle instead of the nutrition puffs he was trying to coax her into eating.
'Esinon, that's her name.' Obi-Wan thought to himself, stroking his beard. The little child finally accepted the puff, stuffing it in her mouth, along with most of her fist. It was quite amusing to watch Master Fisto try to entertain the distracted child with food. Master Fisto had been trying to get her to eat more because her Ewok diet had left her extremely malnourished.
Esinon finally got bored with attempting to eat Kit's tentacle and wriggled out of his lap, grabbing the container of nutrition puffs and starting to make rounds in the council room. She stuffed puffs into Master Windu's hands first, she recognized him the most other than Kit because he had picked her up from Endor.
She continued like this, sharing her food, some of it covered in toddler slobber, with the council members. She finally stopped in front of Obi-Wan staring up at him, she held up her hands towards him, scrunching her fists. He looked to Master Fisto for help, he shrugged his shoulders,
"She's your problem now," he said,
"Māthi," she said, scrunching her fists again. Obi-Wan sighed, Qui-Gon was always more the one for creche.
"Obi-Wan you better pick her up before she starts to scream," Mace advised, Obi-Wan was ripped from his memories of Qui-Gon to see the small child's lip was quivering. He quickly obliged Esinon and picked her up, she happily settled into his lap and tried to stuff nutrition puffs into his mouth. He guided the child's hands away from his face and put the puffs into her mouth. She grinned happily, snuggling into his robes, giving a contented sigh. Soon enough the meeting ended and Esinon had passed out asleep, Obi-Wan got up, shifting the tiny Scipian in his arms. He went over to hand over to Kit, but he held his hands up in a placating gesture.
"I need to go train Nadar for a bit, and she seems pretty content in your arms," he said,
"But-"
"You're a lifesaver Kenobi," Kit said, patting Obi-Wan's free shoulder before rapidly leaving. Esinon yawned, gripping a bunch of his cloak in her tiny fist.
"What am I gonna do with you?" he murmured, holding Esinon with one hand and her puffs in another. A twelve-year-old Anakin came sprinting around the corner,
"Master!" he exclaimed breathlessly, Obi-Wan shushed him motioning to the sleeping youngling in his arms.
"Anakin, go get the training droids ready in the dojo, I'll meet you down there in a moment," Obi-Wan said, the young boy nodded and ran off, Obi-Wan was planning to drop Esinon off in the nearest creche.
"A fine Master and padawan pair you will make when old enough, Esinon is." Master Yoda said, tapping his cane. Obi-Wan glanced down at the sleeping youngling in his arms,
"I think after I train Anakin, I won't take on another padawan." he sighed,
"See the will of the force we will," Yoda replied, humming pensively before walking off. Another padawan? After Anakin? There was no way.
Seven years later, the Battle of Christophsis…
"We can do proper introductions now," Obi-Wan said, turning to his newly appointed padawan,
"I'm Esinon Windcaster," she replied, placing her hands behind her back. Obi-Wan chuckled softly, that young Scipian girl had really grown. Master Yoda had predicted it all along, they were going to make quite the Master and padawan pair.
"I'm Obi-Wan Kenobi, your new Master."
Sorry I'm doing Esinon a lot, I promise this will be a tornado trio spin-off, all of them, but this just came to me! Enjoy Esinon and Obi-Wan being adorable.
