за жизнью - смерть; за смертью - снова жизнь. за миром - серость; за серостью - снова мир
Again, he felt Anakin's fingers tap his ankle. Not a warning or a complaint this time, but a gesture of encouragement.
Heartened, he completed his arduous contortions. Took a moment to mop his sweaty forehead on his sleeve, then looked down. Anakin was wriggling his way to the bottom of the open chute. Once he was in place he looked up and nodded. Nothing but determined endurance in his face. With a swift, quirky smile he finagled his hands over his head, laying them flat, palms-up, on the vent's floor.
Obi-Wan indulged in his own swift smile. Yes. They were indeed working in sync. And he realized then how much he'd missed this. Had missed Anakin and the way they could read each other without the need for clumsy words. They were a better team than even he and Qui-Gon had been. And while he understood completely the need for them to unravel their partnership-not only because of the war, but also because Anakin was a Jedi Knight now, with his own responsibilities, still... he felt sharp regret.
Working without Anakin was like working half blind.
