"Oh come on, Master, I only complain when it's true."
Anakin doesn't look over, but continues his stare down with the window. So he doesn't notice Obi-Wan step into his path.
"Besides. The only upside is unlike Tatoonie there is no sand and you know how much I ha--"
And there it is. His thoughts were still in pieces, his mind elsewhere on someone else. His gaze snaps on the Master Jedi just he collides right into him.
Just as Obi-Wan realizes that Anakin hasn't seen him, and before he can do more than open his mouth in warning, the young man's swift pace has them bouncing off each other. Obi-Wan is barely able to catch himself from falling on his ass, and once he steadies and rights himself, he starts laughing.
They're both far too tense, honestly. While of course there is a war raging, it's not good to be so keyed-up all the time; a little humor injected into things to lighten up from time to time is good for them. Especially if it's at their own expense.
Anakin and Obi-Wan ending up into some sort of weird tumble was far from a strange occurrence. He, himself, almost completely fell over. Maybe they both needed to lighten up a bit.
"Master, how many times have I told you to stop standing in my way. Sometimes I think you just want me to run you over."
If anything Obi-Wan distracted him from complaining about the cold. It probably won't last long, but it's a start.
"And how many times have I told you to always pay attention to your surroundings?" The mock-stern, expectant look on his face is hard to maintain, as Obi-Wan wants to do nothing more than start laughing again. "Perhaps it is you who wishes to run me over, and you're merely using distraction as an excuse to get away with it."
"If I really wanted to run you over, Master, I think I'd use a speeder instead of myself. It'd be a lot more efficient."
They've been through this type of game before. The back and forth banter. It's just what they did and somehow ended up being completely natural though strangers might think they were actually fighting.
"Yes, but think of the mess you'd be leaving for others to clean up. Not to mention the mess on the speeder. Not very courteous."
Obi-Wan places a companionable hand on Anakin's shoulder. Obi-Wan enjoys this teasing banter they have, that they're comfortable enough to have it. He rarely did such with Qui-Gon, always looking up to him too much as a Padawan and worried the Master would take offense at something he said. And he'd never gotten the chance to cultivate a friendship as equals afterward...
Giving Anakin's shoulder a small jostle, he asked, "Besides, if I were gone, who would be your comic foil?"
