What makes you feel vulnerable and what makes you feel invulnerable, and why?

The look in Obi-Wan's eyes when he did something to disappoint him. The dreams of his mother that have been becoming all to frequent lately where she dies and he's there but he can do nothing to save her. The look on Revan's face just before he ran from her, exhausted from their fight.

All of these things make him feel vulnerable. He hates feeling like that. Helpless.

The look in Obi-Wan's eyes when he does something to make his Master proud. The dreams of having a life with Padme he used to have almost every night. The first time he truly felt the Force and tapped into it. Every subsequent time thereafter. Flying...anything.

All of these things give him a little taste of invulnerability. He loves that feeling. Strong, able.

He wants more of it.

What would you place in a personal ad if you were making one?

He still couldn't believe he'd let one of the other Padawans talk him into this. There was no point really. But then, it was just in fun, so to forestall any more good-natured teasing, he shakes his head and sits down at the terminal to make his entry.

SHM¹ seeks SHF² for fun, companionship, maybe more. Must be independent, capable of carrying on intelligent conversation, and not mind breaking a few rules. Knowledge of how to shoot a blaster or plan a battle a plus.

He hits 'send' and the little entry goes flying through the wires to the local news feed station to be added in with their personals section. Anakin looks up at the other Padawan. "See? Told you I'd do it."
