six sentences from an idea i had in the shower this morning, and have been poking at ever since.

Obi-Wan's soul starts itching along his bones the moment they sneak into the Mandalorian sector with their charge. It isn't the familiar pull of the Force, and so he notes the sensation, then sets it aside for later contemplation. As Death Watch harries them from safehouse to bolthole, Obi-Wan begins to wonder perhaps Satine is a latent Sentinel, and he simply couldn't sense it until they were in her territory.

Satine speaks, sometimes, like a Sentinel should, about the future she wants for her people. But it doesn't quite mesh, and the longer Obi-Wan spends protecting her, the greater the disconnect grows. Eventually, he understands that if the storied Mando Sentinel genes are present in the Kryze bloodline, they're not present enough in Satine for her to see all Mando'ade as her people, only those who are willing to give up their ancient practices.
