The Arms Hotel, Saturday

It was cold enough to make Mary miss living in the desert. She was not venturing very far from the space heater set up near the front desk and was chugging hot chocolate just as fast as Gunther could bring it from the kitchen.

The later hours of the picnic had functioned as a distraction after his meeting with Anakin, and so Obi-Wan had only left when it had started winding down.

His next destination was the hotel. After all, it was where he had arranged to meet tomorrow, and he needed somewhere to sleep while he was here.

"Hello?"

"Hello! Welcome to the Arms Hotel," replied Mary. "What can I help you with today?"

[saddeserthermit]

"I was hoping to find a room for tonight, perhaps more nights?" Obi-Wan asked. "I was told this hotel would be my best option."

"Then you came to the right place. I have plenty of rooms available," said Mary with a smile. "Did you want a fancy suite or something a bit more basic?"

[saddeserthermit]

"Something basic will do," Obi-Wan said easily. "I merely need a place to sleep."

Tomorrow evening, he would go back to Tatooine and decide on his next steps. He did not need a home for the eopies tonight.

"Let's see," said Mary, checking her computer screen. "I have a few standard rooms available on the third floor. Did you prefer an ocean view?"

[saddeserthermit]

"It will suffice," Obi-Wan said. "It has been some time since I saw an ocean of any description."

"I spent most of my life in a desert town. Now I live on one of the upper floors of this hotel and I can't get enough of looking out on the ocean every morning," said Mary as she pulled out a key for room 312 and handed it over. "Let me know if there's anything I can do to make your stay more enjoyable."

"I have moved to the desert fairly recently," Obi-Wan shared, "but even so, it will be a good change of pace."

He took the key and offered her a respectful bow. "I will be fine," he said, "but thank you for your hospitality."
