[there would've been a time once, not even so long ago, that anakin skywalker might've laughed at a comment like that; if he'd heard something like that once, he'd heard it a thousand times — ahsoka had more than done her part, and as the years had passed, obi-wan had done his. once, not even so long ago, banter had been a part of battle, and he'd wielded it with as much efficiency as he'd wielded a lightsaber.
but ahsoka is gone now, because the jedi had betrayed her, and obi-wan, still on their side, is no longer a friend. there is only what remains: this woman, armed, standing in the way between him and what he needs to do.
he has no time for frivolity.
where she's vulnerable, he makes sure he's steady; he knows that people can be at their most dangerous when they're desperate, and he'll be ready for that. he takes a steady, certain step forward.]
Be careful who you're threatening. [his eyes, locked onto her, are unblinking, and his voice is cold.] I won't warn you again.
