spare a dime.

(a) penny for your thoughts. SAID WHEN YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT ANOTHER PERSON IS THINKING, USUALLY BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN QUIET FOR A WHILE. (cambridge dictionary)
YOU'VE BEEN SITTING IN SILENCE FOR SOME TIME AND NOW YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S ON YOUR COMPANION'S MIND, SO YOU FLASH YOUR RICHES AND OFFER a penny for your thoughts, GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL YOU AND HAVE A LITTLE HEART-TO-HEART.
How to play -
1. Comment with your character's name, fandom and preferences.
2. Others offer your character a penny for their thoughts to start the conversation off.
3. Your character tells them what they're thinking of, note that lying's allowed. You take it from there.
4. Be serious, be light-hearted, be cracky. Just have fun!

The simple answer is....I tried to live a normal life.
The more complicated is...I cut myself off from the Force without meaning...or perhaps I mean to.

[Rey gives Obi Wan a concerned look that has hints of sadness there.]
It would be easier to blend in if you weren't connected to the Force. I can understand that, but...I can only imagine how lonely that must have been for you. [Lonelier even, as he been connected to the Force for so long.]

[He studies her right back, shades of the wise settled master her own master knew so briefly and shades of the lonely man he was then mixing together and giving him an odd air,]
It was lonely...when I allowed myself to think on the matter...but I attempted to not do it as often as I could.

I think we have that in common. [Force aside, and destinies being intertwined and all that.] Focusing on other things--surviving and waiting.

[Obi Wan chuckles softly]
I wouldn't say I was waiting...maybe more surviving and hoping.
But perhaps I was focusing on the wrong things.
