The Scent of Lavender

Who: Obi-Wan Kenobi & You
What: Obi-Wan got a reward! With a very distinct smell.
When: Day 17
Where: Residential Area
Warnings: None atm.

The whole testing experience had been rather trying, and it wasn't just the test either. Anakin was getting more difficult to deal with, and his presence only seemed to make it worse. Despite the Sith Lord being sent to... wherever it was he want, his demeanor had not improved in the slightest. 

Obi-Wan knew he was the main target of Anakin's rage, and someone else had gotten hurt trying to help him. 

Thus after the testing was done, the Jedi decided to hole himself away in his room again. The man rarely being seen for a week aside for coming out to eat or use the fresher. And that was typically done when he knew Anakin, and probably most everyone else, was asleep. He spent the time in his room meditating for the most part. Rarely even logging into the network. 

However, around the 15th or so, some might catch a whiff of a different smell. One that some might recognize as lavender.

Obi-Wan had discovered he's been gifted with a host of cleaning supplies, for personal hygiene and otherwise. He decided to first try some of the personal items. Thus there would be hints of lavender lingering in the men's bathroom due to the Jedi's late night excursions. Using the lavender shampoo, soap, even toothpaste. 

However, on the 17th he will be seen in the common areas again at a decent hour. Though before he's seen, anyone coming into the room he's in will be hit with a wall of lavender odor that is exceptionally strong. Yep, he's back to cleaning, and using lavender scented products. Wiping down surfaces with cleaning solution, the bleach if its especially nasty, and so forth. It's really handy having these, but it seems there is a price to pay in one's nose being assaulted.

"What?" Anakin snaps automatically and takes a quick step forward.

"You're not going into my room!"

This might be a rather childish reaction, but also a surprisingly genuine one, all things considered.

"There's enough for you to clean here." He says this as he steps forward some more and gestures around, just maybe being a little protective about his little private space.

All Anakin can do against this is... Nothing, really. He just can watch and grimace.

"Obi-Wan! It will smell like you do!" he complains loudly and steps closer, yet pauses once he gets hit by the strong scent.

"Where did you find that terrible stuff anyway?" Just so he can make sure to destroy it all.
actualhumandisaster: (Just moping.)

"So she decided you smell bad and gave you something to make everything stink just as much." the younger man growls. Some windows would be nice for a change.

Crossing his arms and taking a step back, he grimaces "Next thing she gives you should be an apron. Since you're so willing to play housemaid for her."

Of course the Jedi would turn himself into a willing slave. Should Anakin be surprised?

Anakin snarls and turns his head away a little at Obi-Wan using that spray bottle on his door. If the Jedi could just STOP doing that. But clearly Obi-wan wouldn't. The man seemed to enjoy himself in his own strange way.

"Why should I be helpful to those who keep me here?" Anakin says "Unlike you, I want to get out of here, not get comfortable."
actualhumandisaster: (Guilty)

Making it a point to not respond to Obi-Wan's first question, Anakin simply scoffs.

"And making everything stink is your idea of helping each other." he says stubbornly, unwilling to give any ground to the other man.

The next thing Anakin did was turning away with one simple announcement "I'm leaving you alone to help, then."
